TriVita Products -- Perilla Seed Oil Bursts with Omega-3 Fatty Acids

No wonder it’s such an important part of our OmegaPrime formulation

What would you think of a food that could help balance your immune system, help reduce your cholesterol and improve your ability to breathe?  Perilla seed oil is just such a food!

Perilla seeds have been used as a source of food and medicine for thousands of years.  As interest in traditional remedies has grown in modern medicine, scientific studies have been carried out on perilla seeds as a possible remedy for allergies.

This is notable because the number of people diagnosed with allergies (allergic rhinitis) has significantly increased in recent years.  A person experiences an allergy attack when the tiny cells that line the sinuses burst.  These are called “mast cells” and they are filled with histamines, the substances that cause allergy symptoms.  Pollen and other allergens rupture these cells and release the histamines in large amounts.  Anything that stabilizes these cells and keeps them from bursting gives welcome relief from allergy misery.

What scientists are learning is that the oil from perilla seeds is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.  It not only reduces inflammation in the sinuses, but in all areas where mast cells release inflammatory histamines: the sinuses, lungs, joints, intestines and skin.  So, perilla seed oil acts as an anti-inflammatory to relieve allergies, gastritis and even asthma.

That’s why I put perilla seed oil in OmegaPrime: different oils reduce inflammation in different tissues.  Fish oil reduces inflammation in the arteries, flax oil in the reproductive tissues, evening primrose oil in the brain and bones and perilla seed oil in the sinuses, lungs and intestines.

Is there any solid research on these applications for perilla seed oil?  Absolutely!

Studies conducted on people with asthma showed that perilla seed reduced the inflammation in the lungs, reduced the hyperactive immune system leukotrienes in the lungs and improved lung volume.  At the same time, doctors measured cholesterol levels and found that perilla seed oil reduced total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides.  Also, perilla seed oil raised the levels of beneficial, protective HDL cholesterol.

In the past, medications called bronchodilators were used to open the airways in asthma attacks.  These medications worked pretty well in emergency situations; however, they did not stop the inflammation and they did not address the immune system’s role in allergies and asthma.  Newer, stronger drugs were developed that both opened the airways and reduced airway inflammation.  A milestone in medicine was achieved when a class of drugs was developed called leukotriene inhibitors.

Leukotriene inhibitors were “the missing link” in allergy and asthma treatment, as well as with irritable bowel syndrome.  They reduced the hyperactivity of the immune system and provided longer relief than anti-inflammatory drugs alone.  Soon, however, the dark side of these medications emerged as many patients contracted serious infections from a suppressed immune system.

Perilla seed oil was shown to be a remarkable leukotriene inhibitor that did not suppress the immune system!  It is also a powerful anti-inflammatory.  Perilla stabilizes the mast cells so histamines are not released.  What is more, perilla seed is showing positive results in studies against human cancer cells, irritable bowel disease and depression.  All without any side effects.  What a marvelous discovery!

When you take TriVita OmegaPrime, you’re getting so many benefits in this physician-approved formula – including the remarkable effectiveness of perilla seed oil.
