In order to comprehensively take care of the proper functioning of the brain, heart and eyesight, and also to support your immune system, it is worth taking care of a balanced diet rich in omega-3 acids and vitamin D3. Supplementing these ingredients from your diet can sometimes be a challenge, but we have a solution! Reach for our fish oil, which is a source of these valuable acids and vitamin D3, which helps our body fight infections [1].
Fish oil is a source of beneficial omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids, which include EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) involved in many important processes in our body, and vitamin D3, called the "sunshine vitamin". Omega-3 acids are involved in cell signalling, and also affect the fluidity and maintenance of the optimal structure of cell membranes. Fish oil may reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, supporting the proper activation of the body's immune system [2]. Since EPA and DHA play such an important role in our cardiovascular system, it is important to ensure that we consume them in the right amounts on a daily basis. DHA is part of the brain and the structure of the eye, contributing to the maintenance of proper brain function and healthy vision, and EPA and DHA together support the proper functioning of the heart. Together with vitamin D3, they support the proper functioning of the immune system [3]. In addition Vitamin D3 is essential for maintaining healthy bones and teeth. Its deficiency may lead to a deterioration of immunity, reduced bone mineralization, and an increased risk of osteoporotic fractures [4]. The body cannot produce omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D3 in adequate amounts on its own, so it is important to get these essential nutrients through food. The source of EPA and DHA acids are primarily fish and seafood, while vitamin D3 is recommended to be supplemented in our time zone from September to April, and in the case of insufficient exposure to the sun in the remaining months - even throughout the year.
Our Daily Omega + D3 provides an effective way to replenish both fatty acids and vitamin D. It is a food supplement containing a blend of omega-3 fatty acids in a natural and highly absorbable form of triglycerides and vitamin D in the form of cholecalciferol. Made in Norway from wild pelagic fish, mainly anchovies, sourced from sustainable fishing and has a pleasant, natural lemon aroma. One teaspoon a day provides 1600 mg of omega-3 fatty acids (min. 700 mg EPA and min. 600 mg DHA) and 50 μg = 2000 IU (1000%) vitamin D3. Take care of your brain, heart, eyesight and immunity with our Daily Omega + D3.
