You are not aware of the drama going on in your bloodstream even at this moment. A fierce battle in the fatty ring for space in your body and a wrestling match between plant sources and fish sources. The only way to calm the situation is... to turn 'Game of Thrones' into 'House on the Prairie'.

Learn what to do to get the most out of them for your health and stop them from massacring each other.

Omega acids - types and breakdown

.

What are omega acids?

.

Omeega acids belong to the group of fatty acidsand of which there are three types: saturated, unsaturated, trans.

.

Fatty acids are needed for energy production, building cell membranes, hormone and neurotransmitter production. They are essential for the proper functioning of the nervous, cardiovascular and immune systems. Most important for our bodies are unsaturated acids - which include omega 3, 6, 7 and 9and.

.
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids must be provided with diet or supplementation. In contrast, omega-5, omega-7 and omega-9 acids are naturally produced by the body.

Important

Green unsaturated fatty acids PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acids) and monounsaturated fatty acids MUFA (monounsaturated fatty acids) are essential 'good fats' that are responsible for many important processes in our bodies, such as brain development, protection against heart disease or improving skin and hair condition.

There is also another way of writing these acids, where instead of omega there is the letter n. So, for example, omega-3 acid is n-3, omega-6 is n-6.

5.0
Natu.Care Омега-3 ᵀᴳ Преміум
  • Вміст Омега-3: 750 мг (250 мг ДГК + 500 мг ЕПК)
  • Додаткові активні інгредієнти: немає
  • Форма: капсули
  • Порція: 1 капсула на день
  • Достатньо на: 60 днів
Опис продукту

Дієтична добавка містить омега-3ᵀᴳ, або омега-3 жирні кислоти у формі тригліцеридів. Наукові дослідження показують, що ця форма жирних кислот засвоюється в 2 рази краще, ніж ефіри, присутні в багатьох дієтичних добавках на ринку. Це означає, що ви впевнені в їх ефективності та забезпеченні себе цінними омега-кислотами.

Омега-3 жирні кислоти походять з олії диких анчоусів. Це багате джерело корисних жирів, необхідних для здоров'я серцево-судинної, імунної та нервової систем, а також для нормального зору, роботи суглобів і м'язів.

Дослідження також показують, що достатнє споживання омега-3 жирних кислот захищає від депресії та тривожних розладів і підтримує їх лікування. Крім того, омега-3 впливають на зволоження і зовнішній вигляд шкіри та підтримують здоровий сон.

Формула містить загалом 750 мг ЕПК+ДГК кислот, що втричі перевищує рекомендовану мінімальну норму споживання 250 мг для польського населення. Дослідження Omega-3 TG Premium показали, що його TOTOX становить 9, що є дуже хорошим результатом.

Добавки з омега-3 жирними кислотами рекомендуються всім, хто не з'їдає 1-2 порції (близько 300 г) жирної риби на тиждень. Діти в період росту, люди похилого віку, фізично активні люди, вегани і вегетаріанці, а також пацієнти, які отримують кардіологічне лікування і профілактику серцевих захворювань, також мають підвищену потребу.

Плюси і мінуси

Переваги

  • Риб'ячий жир з диких анчоусів - чудове джерело ЕПК і ДГК.
  • Омега-3 жирні кислоти у формі тригліцеридів вдвічі більш біодоступні, ніж складні ефіри (присутні в багатьох продуктах на ринку).
  • Препарат не містить барвників та наповнювачів.
  • Чистота складу підтверджена лабораторними дослідженнями.
  • Упаковки вистачає до 2 місяців.
  • М'які капсули легко ковтати.

Мінуси

  • Відсутні.
Додаткова інформація

Оболонка капсули виготовлена з бичачого желатину.

Експертна думка
Тригліцериди омега-3 жирних кислот, що містяться в цій формулі, мають набагато вищу біодоступність, ніж етилові ефіри омега-3, які часто зустрічаються в дієтичних добавках. Олія дикого анчоуса - чудове джерело омега-3.

  • Достатньо на: 30 або 60 днів
Опис продукту

Дієтична добавка містить олію з мікроводоростей Schizochytrium sp. Водорості є здоровою рослинною альтернативою як джерело важливих для здоров'я жирних кислот.

Кислота ДГК сприяє підтримці нормальної роботи мозку і нормального зору, а комбінація ЕПК + ДГК підтримує здоров'я серця (при щоденному споживанні 250 мг ДГК). Крім того, омега-3 жирні кислоти підтримують імунітет, настрій, стан і зовнішній вигляд шкіри.

Прийом ДГК особливо важливий при споживанні малої кількості риби, тому людям, які дотримуються рослинної дієти, слід бути обережними з добавками, оскільки вони знаходяться в групі ризику дефіциту омега-3.

Omega-3 fatty acids

.
.

In a nutshell

Omega-3s are important DHA, EPA and ALA acids that support the nervous system, protect the heart, joints and eyes and take care of mental health. You can find the most omega-3s in oily fish, flaxseed oil and chia seeds. Deficiency can lead to problems with immunity, lack of energy, joints and even reduced mood.

Omega-3 fatty acids are the polyunsaturated fatty acids you need to get from your diet (not just a diet full of fish) or supplementationand.

The most important omega-3 fatty acids areand:

.
  • Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA): produces eicosanoids, which help reduce inflammation in the body,
  • .
  • docosahexaenoic acid (DHA): crucial for brain development and function,
  • .
  • alpha-linolenic acid (ALA): involved in the production of EPA and DHA, supports the heart and nervous system.

Properties of omega-3 fatty acids

.

Omega-3 fatty acids take care of:

.
  • the brain and nervous system,
    • the heart and circulatory system.
    • heart and circulatory system,
    • .
    • muscles, joints and bones,
    • .
    • vision,
    • .
    • mental health,
    • .
    • skin, hair and nail health,
    • sleep and regeneration.

    Do you need details?

    Omega-3 fatty acids: affect thought processes, concentration, memory, neurotransmission and brain development, reduce blood pressure, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune diseases and inflammation.

    They are also beneficial for the brain and the body.

    They also support skeletal health and muscle regeneration, look after your eyesight and protect against eye disease, reduce the chance of cancer, support sleep, and prevent mental illness. They also support beauty - improving the appearance and condition of your skin and hair.

    It is also a valuable component in an athlete's diet, as omega-3 fatty acids benefit performance and renegeration.

    .
    Scientific studies have shown the positive effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids in neurodegenerative diseases by, among other things, inhibiting brain cell death.

    "According to some researchers, omega-3 fatty acids may have a positive effect on the course of ADHD in children by improving their concentration, but further research is needed on this topic," adds the doctor.

    Sources of omega-3

    .

    The most omega-3 fatty acids are found in fatty fish  marine fish (7-15% fat content) such as mackerel, sardines, salmon, herring, rainbow trout. Omega-3 fatty acids from fish are better absorbable by the body than plant sources of the valuable acidsand.

    In theory, the most omega-3s are found in flaxseed oil. In practice, this is a bit of a misnomer - flaxseed oil is an excellent source of ALA acid, not DHA + EPA, the omega-3s from flaxseed oil are not as well absorbed into the bloodstream as those from fish, and besides, drinking 100g of pure oil is a dubious pleasure...

    .

    There is also the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6, which is hellishly important. Unfortunately, it fares poorly in the case of plant-based products.

    The ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 is also important.

    Remember: the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 is crucial for health. I explain what this is all about later in this article.

    Omega-3 deficiency - symptoms

    .

    The most common cause of omega-3 acid deficiency is a poor diet. In short: not enough fish and related products. You will feel and literally see the deficiency of these valuable fats on your own skin. What should cause you to be concerned?

    The most common symptoms of omega-3 fatty acid deficiency are:

    .
    • pain and stiffness in the joints,
    • .
    • dry eyes,
    • .
    • dryness of the skin,
    • .
    • irritation,
    • .
    • acne,
    • .
    • hair loss,
    • .
    • lower mood and anxiety,
    • .

    Omega-3 excess - symptoms

    .

    You can overdose on omega-3 fats. An excess of these acids can harm you and lead to 'thinning' of the blood, bleeding in injuries and even an increase in LDL (so-called bad cholesterol) in the bloodand.

    Symptoms of excess omega-3 fatty acids:

    .
    • decreased blood clotting,
    • .
    • nose bleeding,
    • .
    • diarrhoea, flatulence, belching, nausea,
    • .
    • reflux,
    • .
    • increased blood sugar,
    • .
    • reduction of blood pressure,
    • reduction of blood pressure.
    • increased insomnia or anxiety,
    • .
    .
    There are patients who rely on quantity rather than quality of supplementation. Doing so has little health benefit, and may do harm.

    Omega-3 fatty acids in the vege diet

    .

    Vegans and vegetarians are at risk of nutrient deficiencies, such as B vitamins, (especially vitamin B12), iron and omega acids due to the abandonment of fish, meat and egg consumptionand. However, nothing is lost - you can find valuable omega acids in many tasty plant-based products and vegan dietary supplements made from marine algae.

    Omeega-6 acids

    .
    .

    In a nutshell

    The omega-6 acids are LA, GLA and AA, and their proper concentration supports metabolism, protects the heart, nervous system and skin. Soybean, sunflower and corn oils contain the most omega-6. It is important to maintain the correct ratio between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the diet - its disruption can lead to inflammation in the body.

    Omega-6 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids that you need to supply to your body with your diet. The most important omega-6 fatty acids areand:

    • linoleic acid (LA),
    • .
    • gamma-linolenic acid (GLA),
    • .
    • arachidonic acid (AA),
    • .

    Although in research studiesand some omega-6 fatty acids (e.g. GLA and LA) have been shown to have health-promoting benefits in the management of chronic disease symptoms, these acids are generally the black commodity in the healthy fat family. An excess of AA relative to omega-3 fatty acids may be pro-inflammatory and promote the development of certain diseasesand.

    GLA may help reduce the body's signs of inflammation, and CLA may aid fat mass reduction. And lest you leave AA acid with the patch of 'pro-inflammatory' - adequate concentrations of it support the growth and regeneration of the body's cells and positively influence fetal brain development from the 3rd trimester of pregnancy .

    .

    This is important

    .

    Omega-6s are found more often and more abundantly in the normal diet so usually do not require supplementation or even monitoring. You are most likely eating too few omega-3s and they are the ones worth focusing on.

    Properties of omega-6 acids

    .

    Omega-6 fatty acids take care of:

    • heart and cardiovascular system,
      • blood and brain.
      • brain and nervous system,
      • .
      • metabolism,
      • .
      • control of inflammation,
      • .
      • skin,
      • .

      Do you need details?

      .

      Omega-6 fatty acids reduce the risk of heart disease, are essential for brain development and nervous system function already in prenatal life. They are also involved in the processing and storage of fats and in the metabolism of carbohydrates - regulating blood sugar levels, controlling the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream and helping to protect the body against chronic diseases.

      They are also involved in the metabolism of fats and in the metabolism of carbohydrates.

      Additionally, they are involved in the regulation of inflammation and help maintain the health, appearance and hydration of the skin.

      .
      Omeega-3 and 6 acids are used in cosmetics, such as creams. Topical application of oils with these acids improves hydration and skin barrier function. However, the most important thing is to supply these acids with diet in order to enjoy healthy skin.

      .

      In a nutshell

      .

      Omega-9 acids are monounsaturated fatty acids that the body produces on its own. These include oleic, nervonic and erucic acids. They support the cardiovascular and nervous systems, mental health and reduce inflammation in the body. Deficiency and excess of omega-9 fatty acids show no clear symptoms. The best sources of omega-9 fatty acids are vegetable oils.

        Surprise. The popular trio 3-6-9 are joined by omega-5 and omega-7. What's worth knowing about them?

        Omega-5 acids

        .

        Omega-5 (punicic acid) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid. It is made from omega-3 and omega-6and, but is not essential in the body - so it is difficult to speak of a deficiency or excess. A tasty source of it is pomegranate fruit.

        What properties does omega-5 acid have?

        .

        It has anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial effectsand. It can help lower LDL cholesterol and improve blood vessel function, which in turn contributes to reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease .

        Applied to the skin, it can improve its appearance and condition by stimulating the production of collagen and alleviating inflammation .

        .
        As much as 70% of all fatty acids in pomegranate seeds are punicic acid. Pomegranates are worth eating for their omega-5, fibre, antioxidants, vitamin E and magnesium.

        Omega-7 acids

        .

        Omega-7 is a group of acids that the body produces on its ownand. Their exact effects on health require further research. The best known omega-7 acid is palmitoleic acid, which has anti-inflammatory effects, lowers cholesterol, helps control lipid metabolism and alleviates dry eye syndrome.

        A deficiency of omega-7 is rare, while an excess can lead to blood clotting disorders and immune system problems. The best sources of omega-7 are sea buckthorn oil, salmon, anchovies, macadamia nuts and avocados.

        The best sources of omega-7 are sea buckthorn oil, salmon, anchovies, macadamia nuts and avocados.

        Deficiency and excess of omega-7 acids

        A deficiency of omega-7s is rareand, but their absence can manifest similarly to a deficiency of other acids - dry skin and eyes. In contrast, an excess of them can result in blood clotting disorders and immune system problems .

        Recommended ratio of omega 3 and 6 acids

        The ideal ratio of n-3 to n-6 intake is between 1:1 and 1:4.

        .

        Even at this moment there is an omega-3 vs omega-6 battle going on in your body. You are cheering for omega-3, but you are probably putting more omega-6 on the field...

        Good omega, bad omega?

        .

        The most common omega-6 fat is linoleic acid, which the body can convert into, among other things, arachidonic acid (AA). Like EPA (one of the omega-3 fatty acids), AA produces eicosanoids. An excess of eicosanoids can increase the risk of inflammation and disease.

        This is why it is so important to have the correct ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 intake.

        According to researchers  a healthy ratio of n-3 to n-6 fatty acids should be between 1:1 and 1:4. Research  suggests that people following the so-called "Western diet" may consume acids in a ratio of... between 1:15 and almost 1:17.

        .
        The Western diet is a term for a way of eating that is characterised by a high content of processed foods, fast food, instant products, sugar, salt, red meat, white flour and harmful additives. It is low in vitamins, minerals and fibre.

        How to eat omega-3 and omega-6 wisely?

        .

        You may regularly eat wild steamed salmon, but if you otherwise enjoy munching chips for a movie just as often, and supplement your daily coffee with chocolate biscuits, the balance can be upset. Ba, even fresh, natural products like avocados tip the balance towards omega-6.

        Do you need to look at tables of omega acid sources when shopping or going out to a restaurant? No. All you need to do is follow a few simple rules:

        • Regularly eat fish, e.g. salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring.
        • Eat fish regularly.
        • Avoid highly processed foods, e.g. convenience foods, sweets, snacks.
        • Avoid highly processed foods, e.g. convenience foods, sweets, snacks.
        • Don't stress about the ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 in each food.

        Most importantly: eat more fish or supplement with omega-3s - simply. There are loads of healthy things to eat regularly. Just looking at the ratio of n-3 to n-6 will paralyse you. Avocados, nuts or olive oil are delicious and healthy, go ahead and have a shake.

        Take the right daily dose to suit your needs.

        .

        The average adult should consume 250 mg of EPA + DHA daily.

        .

        Note

        It makes no sense to consume larger amounts "to stock up" - the body gets rid of excess omega acids.

        .

        Choose the best form of dietary supplement.

        .

        Scientific studies have shownand that omega-3 oils in emulsified forms absorb better than in pure form (e.g. from ordinary oil). "Emulsified" oil is oil that has been mixed with water and an emulsifier, so that it forms a stable emulsion.

        Such a liquid can be consumed in capsules or from a bottle.

        • Capsules with omega-3 have a longer shelf life. Their airtight seal ensures that the oil is not exposed to air, which prolongs its quality. As a result, such preparations are free of unnecessary chemicals - preservatives or antioxidants.
        • The liquid form has a shorter shelf life once opened - about 30 days. You generally need to store the bottle in the fridge.

                                    The best form of omega-3 for children is liquid or drops. This is a more convenient dosage form and more convenient to administer than capsules. Try to choose a product without sugar, glucose-fructose syrup, sweeteners or synthetic flavours.

                                    Why omega 3-6-9 supplements are a waste of money and... health?

                                    .

                                    While I was preparing to write this article, my browser was fat-burnt - advertisements for dietary supplements with omega acids were popping up everywhere. My attention was particularly drawn to the so-called "3-6-9" preparations, i.e. containing as many as three acids in one capsule.

                                    I asked the experts for their opinion on this.

                                    Supplementation with omega 3-6-9 products is not justified. The omega-9 acids are produced by our body, and by taking omega-3 and omega-6 in addition, we may unknowingly create a large imbalance between them, which will adversely affect health.

                                    The omega acids compete with each other for 'priority' of absorption and if we consume more omega-6,-7 and -9 than omega-3, their ratio will be distorted in favour of the former. Omega-3s may not be absorbed or only absorbed in small amounts.

                                    The conclusion follows - omega 3-6-9 fatty acids are best obtained from a varied and nutritious diet.

                                    Is an overdose of omega acids possible?

                                    .

                                    Luckily, you don't have to worry about overdosing on omega acids from your diet. A clinical nutritionist explains:

                                    .
                                    It is difficult to overdose on omega acids from food. The body has mechanisms that deal with excretion of the excess. It is dangerous to over-supplement omega 6 and 9 while not supplementing omega-3, or to supplement omega 3-6-9 because of the mutual exclusion of the acids, leading to a deficiency of one and an excess of the other.

                                    .

                                    Yes, testing for omega-3 fatty acids involves assessing the serum levels of EPA and DHA.

                                    The result indicates to what extent the patient's cardiovascular system is protected. It also serves the early prevention of diet-related diseases. The average price of the test is around £200.

                                    Omega acids in the diet of Poles

                                    .

                                    Unfortunately, Poles eat very little fish. When we argue what to have for dinner (schabowy or mince?), such Norwegians simply eat their favourite fish.

                                    This is not an exaggeration -

                                    .

                                    According to the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations)and the biggest consumers of fish in the world are Norwegians. The average Norwegian eats about 46 kg of fish per year. A Pole - only 14 kg. This means that Norwegians eat twice as much omega-3 per day as Poles (about 1.7 g vs 0.9 g).

                                    I know that fish, nuts and seeds are expensive, but I have some useful tips for you on how to buy products rich in omega-3 fatty acids sensibly.

                                    1. Take advantage of promotions. Browse offers such as multi-packs, multi-packs, or 2+1.
                                    2. Freeze products. In the freezer, you can keep not only fish, but also nuts or vegetables.
                                    3. Use price comparison apps. I was surprised when I started comparing prices in different shops - the differences of the same product were up to £8.

                                    5. Take care with food storage. Read up on how to store foods properly and enjoy their freshness for longer, e.g. pack nuts in airtight containers, buy oils in dark bottles and keep avocados in water.
                                    6. Clean up your food.
                                    7. Buy seasonally. Prices of some products depend on weather conditions, harvest or fishing. E.g. salmon and almonds record the lowest prices in summer, walnut is cheapest in autumn.

                                    Recommended omega acids is the dietary supplement Natu.Care Premium Omega-3 TG 750 mg. It contains the optimum ratio of omega-3 fatty acids (2:1), namely 250 mg of DHA and 500 mg of EPA, in the highly bioavailable form of triglycerides.

                                    . What are the best omega acids for joints?.

                                    Green unsaturated fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6 are responsible for regulating inflammatory processes in the body and are therefore important in preventing the development of musculoskeletal diseases and supporting the treatment of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Consuming the correct proportion of them in the diet enables the body to function properly and control inflammation. Supplementation with omega-3 tablets

                                    may be beneficial.
                                    . How much omega acids to consume during pregnancy and lactation?.

                                    Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consume DHA and EPA acids at 250 mg/day and an additional 100-200 mg DHA/day. The Polish Gynaecological Society recommends up to 600 mg of DHA daily and as much as 1,000 mg in women at risk of preterm birth. Almost 90% of pregnant Polish women consume less than the recommended 200 mg of DHA for health.

                                    . Which omega acids are the healthiest?.

                                    The healthiest, most popular and well-researched are omega-3 acids. They have been shown in scientific studies to have a range of health-promoting benefits: from fetal life they support the function of many body systems, may protect against the development of cancer, support mental health and the appearance of skin and hair. Deficiencies of omega-3 fatty acids are common, so it is worth sourcing them from the diet or good quality supplements (omega-3 tablets).

                                    . How long can omega-3 acids be used?.

                                    Dietary supplements with omega-3 fatty acids can be used all year round if the diet is poor in foods rich in healthy fats. Year-round supplementation (e.g. tranium) should be consulted with your doctor or advised by a dietitian on how to naturally incorporate foods with these healthy fats into your diet.

                                    Scientific research suggests that the minimum period of omega acid supplementation to see improvements in microbiota and body health is 6 months.

                                    . Is there vitamin D in omega-3 fatty acids?.

                                    No, there is no vitamin D in omega-3 acids as a chemical compound. The combination of omega acids and vitamin D3 can be found in dietary supplements. Taking preparations with omega acids and vitamin D3 in drops positively influences the organism and supplements common in Poland deficiencies of these two components.

                                    Vitamin D deficiency is as dangerous as omega-3 fatty acids.

                                    . Do omega acids lower cholesterol?.

                                    No, omega-3 acids do not lower bad LDL cholesterol. In fact, an excess of omega-3 fatty acids may even increase it, which adversely affects the lipidogram (body fat management). The overall ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 acids is important for the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system.

                                    . What omega-3 fatty acids to choose?.

                                    The best omega-3 acids come from wild-caught fish, which naturally eat the algae and produce their own acids. According to scientific research, the emulsified form of omega-3 oil retains the most health benefits, which can be found in capsules, drops or liquids, preferably in dark packaging. This protects the emulsion from the harmful effects of sunlight.
