PEOsSaturated fatty acids cannot conduct oxygen. So, unsaturated fatty acids are critical for transport.  Long-chain unsaturated fatty acid, which is fish oil’s EPA/ DHA in particular, auto-oxidize irreversibly in the presence of oxygen, both in air, and in your body. So, your body carefully regulates how much of these derivatives it makes. Consider that the mitochondria, where oxygen is consumed in high-energy reactions, contains virtually no highly unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, parent ALA or derivatives.

“Influence of omega-3 fatty acids on the prostaglandin-metabolism in healthy volunteers … synergistic effect of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids at low doses which is greater than the effect of high doses of n-3 fatty acids alone.” Prostaglandins in the Cardiovascular System, 1992.

Permanently oxidized fatty acids are toxic to your cells, causing rapid aging. In monkeys fed marine oils, their liver membranes became rancid and the organ used up all available vitamin E to protect itself. So clearly, God, in His wisdom, carefully controlled the conversion of the essential fatty acids to the more unsaturated, more vulnerable derivatives. Yet, if we don’t have sufficient Parent oils in our membranes, oxygen won’t get through. And, it explained why those taking high-quality PEOs felt and performed better, and quickly.

The American diet is laden with adulterated fats. These are altered parent oils that are oxidized, cross-linked (due to heat), hydrogenated (trans fats), etc. These are not working oils for oxygen transport. Hence, they cause oxygen deprivation within your cells, even if all the mechanical (heart) delivery mechanisms are working. For example, your lungs might have good capacity, your heart pumping an excellent 60% of blood with a single stroke, but with seven membranes to cross, all compromised with adulterated fats, you can still have a net oxygen deficit. Even if you breathe 100% oxygen, your body won’t be able to overcome this inner transport problem. Giving your body the PEOs, it can begin to replace the toxic fats in your membranes with life-giving, oxygen-transporting oils, enabling you to make the most use of the oxygen you breathe in.
