OMEGA 3

Omega-3-Fettsäuren sind mehrfach ungesättigte Fettsäuren, die der Körper nicht selbst herstellen kann und daher über die Ernährung aufnehmen muss.
Zu den wichtigsten Omega-3-Fettsäuren zählen EPA (Eicosapentaensäure) und DHA (Docosahexaensäure), die vor allem in fettreichem Seefisch vorkommen.

EPA und DHA tragen zu einer normalen Herzfunktion bei.*
DHA trägt außerdem zur Erhaltung einer normalen Gehirnfunktion und normaler Sehkraft bei.*

According to the EU health claim, the positive effect on heart function occurs with a daily intake of250 mg EPA and DHA.*

The recommended daily dose of2 capsules of ApoOmega 3provides:

• 800 mg EPA
• 400 mg DHA

thus ensuring targeted omega-3 supply.

EPA and DHA both belong to the biologically relevant omega-3 fatty acids.

The 2:1 ratio of EPA to DHAcorresponds to the natural ratio found in many high-quality fish oils and is frequently used in food supplements.

ApoOmega 3 contains:

• 800 mg EPA
• 400 mg DHA

per daily dose.

Während der Schwangerschaft und Stillzeit spielt insbesondere DHA eine wichtige Rolle.

Die mütterliche Aufnahme von DHA trägt zur normalen Entwicklung des Gehirns und der Augen beim Fötus und beim gestillten Säugling bei.*

Die positive Wirkung stellt sich bei einer täglichen Aufnahme von 200 mg DHA zusätzlich zur empfohlenen Tagesdosis von 250 mg DHA ein.*

Omega-3 capsules are best takenwith a meal that contains some fat. This can help the body absorb the fatty acids.

The recommended dosage for ApoOmega 3 is2 capsules daily with sufficient liquid during a meal.

Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9 are unsaturated fatty acidsfound in various foods and have different functions in the body.

Omega-3 Fatty AcidsThe most important omega-3 fatty acids include EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid)and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which are mainly found in oily marine fish and fish oil. EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function.* DHA also contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision.*

Fish oil typically contains significantly higher amounts of EPA and DHAthan many other sources. Krill oil usually has a lower proportion of these fatty acids, which means that a larger amount of krill oil would often need to be consumedfor comparable amounts of EPA and DHA.

Omega-6 Fatty AcidsOne of the most important omega-6 fatty acids is linoleic acid, which is primarily found in vegetable oils such as sunflower, corn germ, or thistle oil. Linoleic acid contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels.*

Omega-9 Fatty AcidsOmega-9 fatty acids like oleic acidare found, for example, in olive oil, avocados, or nuts. They also belong to the unsaturated fatty acids in the diet.

For a balanced diet, a balanced ratio of different fatty acidsis often recommended.

*The positive effects are achieved with the respective stated daily intake.

The quality of fish oils used in omega-3 supplements can vary significantly. Some characteristics help identify high-quality products.

1. EPA and DHA content
A clear declaration of the biologically relevant omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid)and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid)is important.
Products with a higher proportion of these fatty acids usually provide a more concentrated omega-3 source.

2. Transparent quantity specifications
A good omega-3 product clearly states the amount of EPA and DHA per daily dosecontained. This makes it easy to track intake.

3. Purified fish oil
High-quality omega-3 oils are purified and controlled in several steps to ensure a high quality of the base oil.

4. Stabilization by antioxidants
Since omega-3 fatty acids are sensitive to oxidation, high-quality fish oils are often stabilized with vitamin E (tocopherols).

5. Origin and manufacturing quality
Many high-quality products use fish oils from specialized manufacturing processes with defined EPA and DHA content.

ApoOmega 3 contains highly concentrated EPAX® quality fish oilwith clearly declared EPA and DHA amounts and a defined dosage per daily dose.
