The Salvia Sclarea (sage) seed oil contains only 50% Omega 3.

What’s in the other 50%?

In addition to its Omega 3 content, Salvia Sclarea also contains Omega 6 in a 3:1 ratio (in favor of Omega 3), Oleic Acid Omega 9, Tannic Acid, Sclareol, Linalool and Linalyl acetate, Sterols, Coenzyme Q10 & vitamin E.

Without going into too much detail on each, here, I’ll just explain in short what each does.

• Tannic acid has antibacterial, antioxidant, antiseptic, antiviral, antimutagenic and astringent properties.
• Sclareol has antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal properties.
• Linalool and Linalyl acetate are found to be effective as anti-inflammation, antibacterial and antifungal.  They also behave as synergistic and strengthening other bioactive materials.
• Manool have proved as platelet aggregation inhibitors and effective antimicrobial.
• Plant sterols reduce the uptake of cholesterol into the body.  The cholesterol that is not absorbed or taken up is removed from the body.  As a result blood total and bad (LDL) cholesterol decrease, while good (HDL) cholesterol is not affected.
• Vitamin E may help prevent or delay coronary heart disease by limiting the oxidation of LDL-cholesterol.  Vitamin E also may help prevent the formation of blood clots, which could lead to a heart attack.  Observational studies have associated lower rates of heart disease with higher vitamin E intake.
• Coenzyme Q10, also referred to as Co Q10 is a vitamin-like compound which is present in all cells.  Q10 has several different actions in the body. Its most notable effects are as an antioxidant, increased cellular energy production, gene regulation and stabilizing membranes
