Omega 3

Omega-3 supplements are concentrated sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids of animal (Fish Oil) or vegetable (Vegan) origin. These types of adipose molecules are considered essential because they cannot be synthesized by the human body in sufficient quantities to meet the daily needs of these nutrients. In addition to being important to the visual and cardiac function, the group of these fatty acids formed by α-linolenic acid or ω3α (18: 3; ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (20: 5; EPA) timnodonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (22: 6; DHA) cervonic acid, is shown useful for the general homeostatic maintenance of the organism. With the concept of balance of homeostasis we define the self-regulation capacity of human beings, essential to keep the internal environment constant despite variations in the external environment.
The best Omega-3 products have IFOS certification, are rich in EPA and DHA and do not contain toxins and heavy metals that are harmful to health (in particular mercury and aluminum)

Omega-3 supplements and their role in nutrition

The benefits of concentrated fish oil or other vegetable sources rich in this polyunsaturated fat are now recognized both in health and in sports. For the maintenance of a normal state of well-being and health, the intake of Omega-3 can contribute to:

  • improve the lipid picture, decreasing total cholesterol and its "bad" LDL fraction and at the same time increasing HDL, the latter considered "good cholesterol" as it is beneficial for our body;
  • reduce triglyceridemia;
  • normalize blood glucose levels and moderate complications resulting from chronic hyperglycemia;
  • relieve arterial hypertension;
  • stimulate the growth of nerve tissues;
  • support proper embryonic development;
  • modulate the immune response by preventing or mitigating the inflammatory states induced by chronic autoimmune diseases (Chron's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis etc.)

No less important is the neurocognitive support promoted by Omega-3 fatty acids, capable of supporting the cognitive functions and delay the degenerative processes of the nervous system and cellular aging in general. In this regard, we remind you that, despite being fatty acids, they perform a marked antioxidant action on all tissues, with particular affinity for the nervous and hepatic ones.

How to recognize the best Omega-3 supplements from fish oil

The products belonging to the category of "Fish Oil" can be very useful for our health, as long as they meet certain purity requirements. A supplement containing Quality Omega-3 is recognized for:

  • concentration of Omega 3, which must not be less than 60% or even better if 90% (esterified form).
  • optimal ratio of EPA to DHA of 2: 1, roughly 400mg or 200mg per softgel;
  • purity standard, one of the most important aspects for our health as pollutants such as PCBs, heavy metals, dioxins and furans tend to accumulate in the tissues, producing chronic poisoning and other harmful toxic effects.

Finally, the molecular distillation, a manufacturing process that is linked to the degree of purity as it is essential to eliminate the aforementioned toxins.

Omega-3 supplements for vegans and their sources

Although products containing fish oil are still the best sellers today, the food supplement industry has managed to meet the needs of vegans by developing plant supplements with the same nutritional characteristics as the aforementioned animal source. The best vegetable Omega 3s derive mainly from linseed and seed oil, algae, green leafy vegetables and some legume. All concentrated sources of Omega 3 e Omega 6-9, the latter are equally important for the integrity of cell membranes and the proper functioning of our body.

How and when to take Omega 3 supplements

The daily requirement of EPA and DHA for adult humans is 0,25-0,3 grams per day. La European Commission suggests to pregnant and lactating women the minimum daily intake of 200 mg of DHA.

As for the heart health, the American Heart Association recommends the ingestion of 1000mg of EPA and DHA daily, while the subjects having Particularly high cholesterol levels may need 2-3g per day.
The hiring should take place a full stomach not to experience regurgitation or gastrointestinal problems that could occur in individuals with digestive problems. Regarding the timing of intake, there is no scientific evidence capable of suggesting cycling periods of one or more months. Everything depends on the user's needs, the ability to consume food sources rich in Omega fats (oily fish, linseed oil and nuts etc.) and, not least, the requests for increased needs by the 'body.

Whether derived from vegan sources or from molecularly distilled fish oil (Fish Oil), all supplements based on Omega 3 are contraindicated in subjects at risk of bleeding and in all those who regularly take anticoagulant and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
