Omega-3 for heart health

-

MARINE omega-3 fatty acids offer a series of health benefits. Omega-3 fish oil is important to support general health and well-being. Because Omega-3 fatty acids have the chemical structure of polyunsatu­rated fatty acids and cannot be synthesise­d by the human body, these essential fatty acids must be obtained from food and via supplement­ation.

Opeceden has responded to the rapidly growing demand for pure and highly concentrat­ed Omega-3 by providing a nutritiona­l formulatio­n for healthy ageing. Opceden Omega-3 Fish Oil TG500/200, which is a high-strength fish oil, consists of 70% marine essential omega-3 fatty acids: eicosapent­anoic acid (EPA) and docosahexa­noic acid (DHA), which have been clinically tested for heart health.

Studies show that omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that help promote health. Most fish oil supplement­s in the market are available in ethyl ester form, while only a small number of fish oil supplement­s are found in triglyceri­de form. Opceden Omega3 Fish Oil TG500/200 is sourced from Norway and comes in triglyceri­de form.

Triglyceri­de, the natural form of dietary lipids, is a safe form of fish oil. The human digestive system can easily absorb triglyceri­de-form fish oil. Typically, fats in most food sources are found in natural triglyceri­de form. Triglyceri­des are generally associated with standard fish body or fish liver oil.

These fats comprise three fatty acids, such as omega-3 EPA and DHA, and are each linked to a molecule of glycerol. Without glycerol, free fatty acids can oxidise rapidly. The glycerol helps naturally stabilise the fat molecules and prevent breakdown and oxidation.

To digest fatty acids, we need the enzyme known as pancreatic lipase. Studies have found that pancreatic lipase hydrolyses triglyceri­de-form fish oil 10 to 50 times faster than it hydrolyses ethyl ester-form fish oil. The hydrolysat­ion process needs to be carried out in order to ensure optimal absorption of the fish oil.

Opceden Omega-3 Fish Oil TG500/200 contains omega-3 EPA and DHA in triglyceri­de form, which have been clinically proven to support heart health. Pharmaceut­ical triglyceri­de-grade fish oil provides you with a better outcome in reducing triglyceri­de levels. Therefore, it brings numerous health benefits, especially to your heart.
