Efficas Care is a non-prescription medical food for the dietary management of asthma and associated allergies. It is available in two flavors and product types - orange multi-serve liquid and berry single-serve packets. Efficas Care contains a unique combination of two essential fatty acids, GLA and EPA, in an emulsion to increase absorption. GLA and EPA are already in your foods, but since you have asthma you need more of these nutrients than are in your diet. The natural role of these nutrients is to help modulate the responses of your immune system.

On part of the immune response occurs through production of Leukotrienes,inflammatory molecules produced by immune cells in your body. They cause the narrowing of the airways, increased mucus production and tissue swelling associated with asthma and associated allergies. Efficas Care works with your body to reduce the production of leukotrienes and helps you manage your condition to improve your quality of life.

Studies show that Efficas Care, when taken every day with your asthma medication, results in a significant reduction of leukotrienes within 14 days. Quality of life benefits are evident within 28 days. The daily serving size for adults is 15 mL, or about one tablespoon.

In a controlled clinical trial, when Efficas Care was added to a daily diet, the production of leukotrienes was suppressed in 75% of asthmatics using their standard asthma medicines. In a second controlled clinical trial, there were significant improvements in Quality of Life scores in asthmatics who used Efficas Care along with their medications, compared to the group who used a placebo product along with their medications.

THE NUTRITIONAL SCIENCE BEHIND THE RELIEF

Years ago, Dr. Floyd H. Chilton of Wake Forest University School of Medicine and his colleagues set out to find a way to improve asthma control through diet. Drawing on data from approximately 2 decades of published medical research as well as their own, they determined that those suffering from asthma could benefit from a diet with higher levels of the fatty acids GLA and EPA than are available in traditional foods. Key essential fatty acids carried in blood cells are closely involved in regulating the immune response to asthma and allergy triggers. After seven years of additional research, they found that by altering the diet with GLA and EPA in the right amounts and ratio, using a specially formulated food to improve absorption, production of leukotrienes can be reduced. That unique formula is what you’ll find in Efficas Care.
