Omega 3 1000 MG

What do I need to know about Omega 3?

Omega 3 is polyunsaturated fatty acids and is categorized as an „essential“ fatty acid, which means that your body cannot produce it itself, which is why you need it from your diet.

Within omega 3, there are 3 types of fatty acids: EPA, DHA & ALA

*Note! If you order other supplements, these will be sent out together with your pre-order when it is in stock. If you want other products sent out now, you must make 2 separate orders. However, your payment will be processed immediately after placing the order to ensure the preorder.

SOURCE: FISH?

The reason why fish often are related to omega 3 is due to their natural high level and direct source of DHA and EPA. It is one of the most intense sources in terms of the amount of fat. This means you need a „smaller“ amount of fish to reach the recommended doses of EPA and DHA.

However, not all fish are rich in omega 3. Hence omega 3 is a fatty acid, it requires a fatty fish – and most fish are lean. If you want to secure the recommended amounts of omega 3 (EPA & DHA), it requires you eating fatty fish on a weekly basis eg salmon, mackerel, herring, anchovies and sardines.

SOURCE: NUTS & SEEDS

Plants, seeds and nuts are plant-based sources to omega 3, but they do not contain EPA and DHA, like fish do. They are rich in ALA, which is a precursor to DHA and EPA.

This means that when you consume ALA, your body will automatically convert ALA to EPA and DHA – amazing, right? It is estimated that 10-20% of your ingested source of ALA is converted to DHA / EPA. This however means that you need to consume more of the plant-based fatty acid before you reach the recommended levels of DHA / EPA on a weekly / daily basis.

SOURCE: ALGAE

Algae are different from other plant-based omega 3 sources – they contain a direct source of DHA and EPA. How much depends on the type of algae, but there are many good supplements based on algae, that can cover the daily needs of DHA and EPA.
