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 in particular to people distinguished by an increased demand for the above-mentioned compounds.
Omega 3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids that are not synthesized in the human body, which is why they must be supplied to the body with the daily diet or, if necessary, in the form of supplements. 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), i.e. compounds, which source is mainly fatty sea fish.
Omega 6 fatty acids are compounds belonging to the group of essential fatty acids that are part of cell membranes. 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, which representative (used in 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 or flax seeds.
Vitamin E is a group of organic chemical compounds, classified as fat-soluble vitamins, among which the greatest biological activity is shown by D-alpha-tocopherol used in the preparation. It is a compound that in the human body is stored primarily in adipose tissue, as well as in the adrenal glands. In food, however, it occurs mainly in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds.
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) present in the dietary supplement contribute to the normal functioning of the heart and beneficial effects occur 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 beneficial effect occurs when consuming 250 mg of DHA per day.
Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid (LA) used in the product helps to maintain optimal blood cholesterol levels, and beneficial effects occur when consuming 2 g of ALA and 10 g of LA per day.
Oleic acid is also present in the supplement, 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 against oxidative stress.
ATTENTION! Due to the high content of fish oil, the product is characterized by a fishy smell.
