Natural Factors SeaRich™ Omega-3 is a great-tasting omega-3 formula made from the highest quality fresh fish oil to support cognitive function and cardiovascular health. It contains two of the three bioactive omega-3 fatty acids in humans - docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) - in a triglyceride form, which is characterized by higher bioactivity and the absence of a fishy aftertaste, along with vitamin D3, which is key for immune function.
Omega-3 fatty acids – energy and health from the Sun
Docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid are synthesized through photosynthesis by oceanic microalgae known as phytoplankton, which makes them a primary energy source. They are then passed on to small fish that feed on marine vegetation and continue their way up the food chain.
Omega-3 fatty acids are involved in many important biological processes in the body, which explains their wide-ranging health effects, ranging from maintaining cardiovascular health to boosting immunity. Their impact is largely due to their pronounced antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as their ability to prevent the development of serious chronic diseases.
Benefits of taking omega-3 acids
→ Supports heart health – At the dawn of modern medical science, observant researchers noticed that cardiovascular disease was rare among poor coastal communities that ate mainly fish. Subsequent scientific studies revealed that this was due to the ability of omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil to lower serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels and limit the deposition of arterial plaque.
→ Supports brain function – As a basic structural unit in brain cells, DHA plays a key role in the properties of their membranes. This makes omega-3 an important factor in maintaining some basic brain functions such as cognition and memory. Thanks to their ability to pass more easily through cell membranes, EPA molecules affect some mood-determining biochemicals in brain cells and contribute to the relief of symptoms of depression.
→ Slow down aging – One of the important properties of DHA and EPA is that they help preserve the ends of DNA chains, called telomeres. Telomere shortening leads to disruption of DNA replication and, according to scientists, is a major cause of aging.
→ They reduce inflammation and have an immunomodulatory effect.
Vitamin D3 – doping for the immune system
The human body can synthesize this micronutrient with the participation of ultraviolet rays, but the quantities are usually insufficient due to a number of factors such as meteorological conditions, season and excessive use of sunscreens. This, given the many important biological roles of vitamin D3, necessitates its intake as a dietary supplement.
Benefits of taking vitamin D3
→ Supports immune function – Vitamin D3 inhibits the replication of many viruses and stimulates the work of immune cells that counteract disease-causing pathogens. The micronutrient, which also acts as a hormone, also supports the expression of an enzyme called ACE2, thus counteracting the development of acute respiratory infections. It also has the property of modulating the immune response.
→ Supports bone health – The important role of vitamin D3 in the absorption of dietary calcium and phosphorus makes it one of the key factors in maintaining normal bone density. The establishment of this function and its subsequent administration to expectant mothers and newborns practically puts an end to the previously widespread disease rickets, which is characterized by bone deformities in children due to their low mineral density.
→ Contributes to improving mood – In combination with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D3 stimulates the production of the biochemical serotonin, known as the “happiness hormone,” in the cells of the central nervous system. This micronutrient helps alleviate some common problems in modern urban society, such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, and cognitive disorders.
Method of administration:
For adults and children over 18 years of age, 2 ml daily.
