What is Omega 3?

Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid, meaning it's a fatty acid the body cannot synthesize on its own and must be obtained through diet. The main sources of Omega-3 are oily fish from cold waters, such as sardines, mackerel, tuna, herring, and salmon. It is also present, to a lesser extent, in some nuts like peanuts and walnuts, and some seeds. To reach the necessary levels of Omega-3, it's recommended to consume these types of foods at least three or four times a week. As with other nutrients, obtaining Omega-3 through food can be challenging, as not everyone can eat these foods at least three or four times a week. Omega-3 Supplements: When it's difficult or impossible to ensure adequate Omega-3 intake through diet, using a dietary supplement to guarantee the necessary Omega-3 intake is an optimal solution. When choosing an Omega-3 supplement, it's very important to consider two basic points: - It must contain EPA and DHA, as these two fatty acids are the most beneficial for the body. - It must contain enough EPA and DHA so that you don't have to take four or more capsules daily to reach the recommended daily dose. Benefits of Omega-3 Omega-3 fatty acids include alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). ALA is primarily obtained from plant-based foods, while EPA and DHA, the two most beneficial for the body, are obtained from the fish mentioned earlier or via dietary supplements. These fatty acids, being polyunsaturated fats, can help lower cholesterol and have anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting effects, which can help prevent certain diseases and contribute to improved physical performance. An adequate intake of omega-3 fatty acids has been linked to the prevention of various cardiovascular diseases and a reduced risk of inflammatory conditions. Omega-3 requirements can vary throughout life, being higher during pregnancy, in people who exercise regularly, in those with high demands on brain performance, or with an increased risk of cardiovascular and/or neurodegenerative diseases. Omega 3 EPA/DHA from Longevitas Labs. This product was developed in collaboration with Dr. Ángel Durantez, Technical Director of Longevitas Labs. The formula is designed to minimize any fishy taste and odor, making it virtually undetectable. It contains Vitamin D3, which contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal muscle function, as well as the normal function of the immune system, the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, the maintenance of normal blood calcium levels, and the maintenance of normal teeth. Omega 3 fatty acids are essential for good heart health. They help reduce triglycerides, reduce the buildup of fat in the arteries, and lower blood pressure. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of at least 250 mg of EPA and DHA. Each capsule of Omega 3 EPA/DHA from Longevitas Labs contains 600 mg of EPA and 400 mg of DHA. This is the dose that Dr. Ángel Durantez, through his clinical experience and various analyses of his patients, has been able to verify has beneficial effects on the body. DISCOVER MORE >
