Efficas Inc., Boulder, CO, has launched its berry-flavored Efficas Care, which is a non-prescription medical food clinically proven to safely and effectively inhibit the production of leukotrienes, inflammatory substances produced by the body, which are known to cause allergy and asthma symptoms. Efficas Care helps manage symptoms such as sinus congestion, sneezing, itchy, watery eyes, coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. Each daily packet of Efficas Care delivers a tablespoon of a formulation containing two essential fatty acids—750 mg GLA and 500 mg EPA—in a precise ratio to effectively block the production of leukotrienes. According to the company, the GLA and EPA nutritional bioactives are delivered in a patented emulsion that makes them significantly more bioavailable than the average OTC oil capsule or supplement.
