OstroVit Omega 3-6-9 is a dietary supplement that is a source of valuable unsaturated fatty acids omega-3, as well as omega-6 and omega-9, and additionally provides the body with vitamin E. It is a preparation in the form of easy-to-swallow capsules, which is recommended especially for people who have an increased demand for the above-mentioned compounds.
Omega 3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids that are not synthesized in the human body, so they must be supplied to the body with the daily diet or, if necessary, in the form of supplements. The OstroVit preparation uses both alpha linolenic acid (ALA), which can be found primarily in linseed oil, as well as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are compounds derived mainly from oily marine fish.
Omega 6 fatty acids are compounds belonging to the group of essential fatty acids that are part of cell membranes. The OstroVit Omega 3-6-9 supplement uses linoleic acid (LA), derived from sunflower oil and flax seeds, which can also be found in other vegetable oils, e.g. grape seed oil.
Omega 9 fatty acids are unsaturated fats, the representative of which (used in the OstroVit product) is oleic acid (OA). The main dietary source of the compound is olive oil, although oleic acid is also found in rapeseed oil, hazelnut oil, sunflower seed oil and linseed oil.
Vitamin E is a group of organic chemical compounds classified as fat-soluble vitamins, of which the greatest biological activity is demonstrated by, used in the preparation, D-alpha-tocopherol. It is a compound that in the human body is stored primarily in the adipose tissue and also in the adrenal glands. In food, however, it is found mainly in vegetable oils, nuts and seeds.
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) present in the dietary supplement contribute to the proper functioning of the heart, and the beneficial effect occurs when consuming 250 mg of EPA and DHA per day.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) used in the preparation supports the proper functioning of the brain and contributes to maintaining proper vision, and the beneficial effect occurs when consuming 250 mg of DHA per day.
Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid (LA) used in the product help to maintain optimal cholesterol levels in the blood, and the beneficial effect occurs when consuming 2 g of ALA and 10 g of LA per day.
The supplement also contains oleic acid, so it is worth knowing that replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats in the diet helps to maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. Oleic acid is an unsaturated fat. In turn, vitamin E used in the preparation helps to protect cells from oxidative stress.
ATTENTION! Due to the high content of fish oil, the product has a fishy smell.
