For a targeted supply with the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA

The brain and the nervous system consist of almost 50% essential fatty acids. An adequate and balanced supply is therefore necessary for a good health.

The polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA and DHA belong to the group of omega-3 fatty acids.

Unfortunately, the human body is not able to synthesise them itself, which means they have to be taken in with the food.

Where can you find omega-3 fatty acids?

The polyunsaturated fatty acids can be found in fish, algae and plants. Plants primarily contain omega-3 fatty acids in the form of alpha-linolenic acid, whereas fish such as eel, salmon, herring or sardines and algae mostly contain the two omega-3 fatty acids DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid).
Fish are able to synthesise DHA and EPA themselves, but they also take them by consuming algae.

Function of omega-3 fatty acids in the body

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for the natural functioning of the organism, especially of the heart, the blood vessels and the nervous system. Essential fatty acids are the foundation of all cell membranes.
EPA and DHA are involved in numerous metabolic pathways and are precursors of the formation of certain prostaglandins. They are known for their calming effects on the intestines, the joints and the skin.

Omega-3 fatty acids and cholesterol

EPA and DHA contribute to the lowering of triglycerides (LDL, so-called bad cholesterol) and help to increase the level of HDL cholesterol (so-called good cholesterol). EPA is also involved in the synthesis of the protective factors of the blood vessels.
DHA is a component of the central nervous system structures as well.
