Omega-3

What is omega 3 and what is it used for?

Omega 3 is a group of polyunsaturated (unsaturated) fatty acids classified as essential, as the body cannot produce them.

These fatty acids are mainly obtained from oily fish such as mackerel, sardines, anchovies or herring, although they can also be found in plant-based foods such as nuts, especially walnuts, and avocado. It is well known that the amount of omega 3 provided by the Western diet is generally insufficient, causing an imbalance between omega 6 and omega 3. In order to achieve this balance, many health professionals recommend supplementing the diet with an omega 3 supplement.

Among its main properties is its contribution to the normal functioning of the heart¹, brain activity¹ and vision¹. Below, we take a closer look at its important benefits.

Benefits of omega 3

Omega 3 fatty acids play multiple roles in the body, generating various benefits, including:

• Cardiovascular level

  Omega 3s have a positive effect on the heart, as they contribute to the normal functioning of the heart¹.

• Brain level

  Omega 3 fatty acids are present in brain membranes and have been shown to help maintain normal brain function¹

• Eye level

  They help maintain visual acuity under normal conditions¹.

Among the acids that make up omega 3, two stand out in particular: docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which are mainly responsible for the benefits mentioned.

For example, DHA has been shown to contribute to the maintenance of normal brain function and vision¹.

Omega 3 contributes to the normal functioning of the heart¹

With regard to cardiac function, it is once again DHA together with EPA that contribute to the normal functioning of the heart¹.

As we can see, omega 3 intake has crucial benefits for our body and it may be necessary to include it as a dietary supplement, usually in capsule form, to support the diet we follow.

Why buy Omega 3 from Anastore?

There are 4 important reasons to consider when purchasing a quality omega 3 dietary supplement:

The stability of its oil

Anastore Omega 3 comes from the Qualitysilver^® brand, which guarantees high purity thanks to its patented purification process. In addition, during capsule manufacturing, antioxidants such as tocopherols and rosemary extract are added, providing stability 5 times greater than conventional fish oil capsules, allowing them to be preserved much longer as if they were new. This is demonstrated by analysing peroxide levels (which indicate the degree of oil degradation) and observing that they remain low and controlled throughout the product's shelf life.

Omega 3 from sustainable fishing

Our omega 3 is obtained through controlled and sustainable sourcing of wild oily fish raw materials such as anchovies, tuna, mackerel and sardines. In other words, this oil does not use protected species and ensures respect for marine resources. Proof of this is that it is certified by the Friend of the Sea organisation^®.

For sustainability and, above all, quality, Qualitysilver^® … Don't hesitate and buy Anastore Omega 3 capsules!

The ideal packaging for capsule preservation

The guarantee and know-how of a good omega 3 does not end once the oil is encapsulated, as how omega 3 capsules are stored throughout their shelf life is very important. At Anastore, we use fully opaque containers to prevent sunlight from degrading the oil. In addition, we advise our customers to always keep the product in a cool, dry place, and it is very important to avoid large temperature variations. A good option is to store it in the fridge once opened.

Easy intake and appropriate dosage. Avoid overdosing

Another distinguishing feature is that our capsules, containing 500 mg of oil, are very easy to swallow, unlike capsules of up to 1 gram found on the market, which are often overdosed with excessive amounts of omega 3 (EPA and DHA), causing dietary imbalances. Anastore capsules are designed to provide a sufficient and safe amount of omega 3, with a total of 1.5 grams of fish oil per day.

How to take Omega 3

Taking three Omega 3 capsules daily with a glass of water, divided between the main meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner), will allow you to benefit from the properties of these polyunsaturated fats, as you will be taking 444 mg of EPA and 300 mg of DHA per day.

Omega 3 has no contraindications with other dietary supplements, always taking into account the warnings and precautions on the label.
