What is Omega 3 - DHA?

Omega-3 is a group of polyunsaturated fatty acids (with double bonds in their molecular structure) that are not produced by the human body, so it is recommended that they are ingested through your diet or through food supplements to access their beneficial effects.

Omega-3 fatty acids include docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). It is DHA that exerts a specific action on the brain, vision and development of embryos and breastfed infants.

Benefits of Omega 3 – DHA

 

 

Brain

DHA contributes to maintenance of normal brain function¹

Vision

DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision¹

DHA for the brain

DHA is present in the brain's membranes, and has been observed to play a role in normal brain function¹.

Maintaining the cell membranes of neurons is essential for transmitting efficient nerve signals, and adequate levels of DHA can help maintain brain function¹.

DHA for vision

DHA is a great choice for maintaining visual acuity because it exerts a metabolic function on photoreceptor health and helps to maintain the integrity of the retinal pigment epithelium. Its main vision-related properties include:

• Helping to maintain the best vision possible under normal conditions¹.
• Contributing to normal visual development in infants from gestation up to 12 months of age².

As you can see, adding an Omega 3 - DHA supplement to your diet can contribute to maintaining optimal visual health for you and your family.

DHA for pregnant or breastfeeding women

During pregnancy, the beneficial properties the mother gains from taking Omega 3 - DHA, will also contribute to the normal eye and brain development of the foetus².

The same is true during breastfeeding. Via breast milk, the beneficial effects of DHA consumption by the mother are transferred to the baby, contributing to the all-important healthy vision and brain development in the first year of life².

Consuming Omega-3 DHA daily as a food supplement will unlock its multiple beneficial effects. We want to guarantee you the highest quality, so we explain below why not all products available on the market are the same.

Why buy Anastore's Omega 3 - DHA?

Our product offers so many advantages, but the main benefits are the quality and safety of our oil. Read on to discover why Anastore's product so much better, and the go-to choice when buying Omega 3 - DHA.

IFOS-certified Omega 3 - DHA

The oil of the Schizochytrium sp. microalgae inside our capsules is IFOS-certified, indicating that the levels of active ingredient are true to what is stated on the product label, and that the product is free from harmful chemicals that others might contain. This certifies the quality and safety of our oil.

There are countless brands on the market selling omega 3, but not all of them deliver on the quality they promise, because polyunsaturated fatty acids are highly unstable.

International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS) is an independent body that ensures the product is stable over time and meets strict quality standards. The oil used in Anastore's Omega 3 - DHA capsules is IFOS-certified.

Omega 3 - DHA from algae, suitable for vegans

The patented OmegaVie^® DHA 400 Clear Algae Sensory Qualitysilver^® 5 oil comes from the microalgae of the Schizochytrium sp. species, a great alternative to animal origin omega 3, as well as being an ultra-stable product.

This omega 3 comes from algae, which makes it suitable for vegetarians and vegans, as well as having no environmental impact on our seas and oceans. It is a much more sustainable product than conventional fish oils.

Produced in France

A patented technology is used in manufacture, guaranteeing the nutritional values of the oil obtained. The oil is made using fermentation-cultivated algae and then extracted without the use of solvents, before being encapsulated. The convenient capsules are plant-based, meaning the entire product is suitable for vegans and vegetarians, with no impact on marine natural resources.

An oil with guaranteed stability and freshness

Anastore's Omega 3 - DHA offers great quality because of its patented processing method that uses Qualitysilver^® technology.

This oil is made by adding antioxidants such as lecithins, tocopherols and rosemary extract, ingredients that ensure a highly stabilised product, far more stable than others on the market. This means the product can be preserved for much longer beyond the first day.

Composition and packaging that aid preservation

The Omega 3 - DHA capsules are made in France from plant-based ingredients that create an ideal protective barrier, preventing rapid deterioration of the microalgae oil and maintaining its stability.

To keep the Omega 3 - DHA capsules in optimal condition, at Anastore we use opaque packaging that prevents light and humidity from getting into the capsules, as this can damage the oils if peroxides form.

Small, easy-to-swallow capsules

Because they are small, the capsules are comfortable and easy to take, unlike other products that come in inconveniently large capsules that are very difficult to swallow. Their ingredients are also natural in origin and suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

How to take Omega 3 - DHA

Taking Omega 3 - DHA is simple and easy. Taking 1 capsule daily with a glass of water with one of your three main meals (breakfast, lunch, or dinner) will provide all the benefits of these polyunsaturated fatty acids; an intake of 250 mg of DHA per day.

Omega 3 - DHA is specifically formulated to optimise the amount of DHA the oil contains, ensuring you gain the most benefits from consuming this essential fatty acid.

Optimal dose of Omega 3 - DHA

At Anastore, we recommend taking a 250 mg capsule of DHA daily, as this is the recommended and safe dose for adults and for pregnant and breastfeeding women. This dose guarantees that you get all the benefits this compound offers for the body.

Enhanced DHA absorption

Here are some tips and recommendations for maximising the absorption of this essential nutrient:

• Take Omega 3 - DHA at different times to high-fibre foods and high-fibre food supplements.
• Consume with foods that are a source of healthy fats, such as nuts and olive oil.

It is also important to take the capsules together with antioxidants such as vitamin E (tocopherols). That's why Anastore's Omega 3 - DHA capsules contain some of these nutrients that optimise use of the product.

Contraindications

This DHA-containing food supplement has no interactions or contraindications, as long as you follow the safety instructions printed on the label.
