Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids. The best known Omega-3 fatty acids are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Oily fish such as mackerel, salmon, herring, sardines, trout, is the main food source of omega-3 fatty acids. Eating fatty fish 1-2 times a week is therefore recommended, which is equivalent to 250-500mg / day EPA / DHA.
Etixx Omega 3 is a high-dose fish oil supplement, rich in EPA, DHA and enriched with Vitamin D and E. EPA and DHA are present in triglyceride form and in a favorable 4/3 ratio. Vitamin D contributes to a normal functioning of the immune system. Vitamin E contributes to the protection of the cells against oxidative stress.
Who can benefit from Omega 3?
Omega-3 supplements are recommended for everyone, both athletes and non-athletes. Definitely recommended when the athlete consumes insufficient omega-3 rich food (eg oily fish).
