Advantage of fish oil

The essential fatty acids in fish oil are important for good health. The body cannot make these essential fatty acids, so they must be obtained through diet.

Fats and fatty acids are important

Dietary fat is a daily part of our diet. They belong to a larger group of compounds called lipids. Lipids help build our cell membranes and are vital to our central nervous system – making up approximately 50-60% of the weight of the brain! Approximately 35% of these brain lipids are composed of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which include Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.

Why is fat important?

Fat stores energy, is an important part of our cell membranes, cushions our organs, and carries vitamins in our blood.

Why are fatty acids important?

Fats are made up of glycerol and fatty acids, and different types of fats are made from many different types of fatty acids that have many different roles in our bodies. Essential fatty acids (ALA) and (LA) are required for normal growth and development in children. Beneficial effects are seen with daily intake of 2 grams of alpha linolenic acid (ALA) and 10 grams of linoleic acid (LA).

Omega-3 & 6 unsaturated fatty acids support brain cognition, eyes, and cardiovascular health

Multiple studies have pointed out that the higher the level of unsaturated fatty acids in the body, the higher the children’s reading and writing abilities! An Australian study showed that 80% of optometrists surveyed recommended the use of Omega-3 supplements to improve eye health. Omega-3 & Omega-6 help maintain cardiovascular elasticity, reduce inflammation, and may help maintain cardiovascular health.

Equazen® High-quality unsaturated fatty acids

DHA and EPA are omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, while GLA is a special omega-6 essential fatty acid in its structure. The human body cannot synthesize EPA, DHA and GLA on its own, so it must be absorbed from food or nutritional supplements.

DHA (Omega-3 Structural unsaturated fatty acids)

  1. It is the main tissue component of brain cells and retina
  2. Extremely important for the early development of the brain between 0 and 3 years old
  3. Enhance learning ability and concentration ability
  4. Enhance cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and tracheal health (*This table does not list all functions)

EPA (Omega-3 Functional unsatrurated fatty acids)

  1. Helps brain cells communicate and enhances nerve message transmission
  2. Improve coordination, concentration, and control emotions
  3. Helps DHA to be more robustly maintained in cellular structures
  4. Make cardiovascular system more elastic and reduce bad blood lipids

GLA (Omega-6)

  1. GLA helps reduce the production of damaging inflammatory factors in the brain
  2. Help improve EPA performance
  3. Balanced fatty acid ratio
