Omega-3 fatty acids and your heart: Impact on blood pressure and triglyceride levels
The formation of the heart begins as early as 2-3 weeks of pregnancy [1]. On average, the heart contracts more than 36 million times per year [2].

In addition to the common methods of prevention, i.e. ensuring a healthy diet and physical activity, it is also beneficial to take omega-3 fatty acids.

How to know the quality of omega-3 oil? Check the TOTOX index!

Not sure if the omega-3 product you bought is fresh? Check the TOTOX indicator and see for yourself the quality of the oil.

Awareness about taking omega-3 fatty acids is still growing and more and more people are realising how important they are for the proper functioning of the body. Unfortunately, determining which product is of high quality is often quite problematic for the average consumer. It is worth knowing that not only the specific content of DHA and EPA or the study of environmental pollution is an indicator of the safety and effectiveness of using fish oil. The TOTOX indicator - although it may sound quite puzzling to many - is an important piece of information that allows you to determine the quality of the oil..

Omega 3 fatty acids in the form of triglycerides (TG) and their benefits

Do you supplement with Omega-3? Do you know how incredibly important they are for the proper functioning of the body? And do you know which form is best absorbed by the body and why?

Our body better absorbs Omega-3 in the form of triglycerides, which occur naturally in fish, and their content and composition depend on the type of fish and the latitude in which they live. Marine animals obtain them from phytoplankton (having the ability to biosynthesize EPA and DHA) and store them in their bodies.

Why you should consider supplementing Omega-3 acids

If you’re wondering what Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is, the answer is that they are polyunsaturated fatty acids from the omega-3 family. Classed as essential fatty acids, our bodies are unable to produce them in the amounts needed to function properly. This means you need to top them up with food.
