Omega 3 Supplement
WHAT ARE OMEGA 3-6-9 FATTY ACIDS? WHAT SHOULD THE BEST FISH OIL SUPPLEMENT CONTAIN?
Omega-3 fatty acids (ω-3 fatty acids or n-3 fatty acids) are a type of unsaturated fatty acids (polyunsaturated fatty acids). The three types of omega-3 fatty acids involved in human physiology are α-linolenic acid (ALA) (found in plant oils), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (both commonly found in marine oils). All these components can be found in Cavsor.
Omega-6 fatty acids (ω-6 fatty acids or n-6 fatty acids) are a type of unsaturated fatty acids (polyunsaturated fatty acids).Two of them, Linoleic acid (LA) and Gamma-Linolenic acid (GLA) are the most important for human physiology. They can be found in various types of nuts, seeds and vegetable oils. Cavsor contains Omega-6 fatty acids.
Omega-9 fatty acids (ω−9 fatty acids or n−9 fatty acids) are a family of unsaturated fatty acids (monounsaturated fatty acids). A physiologically important type of Omega-9 fatty acid is Oleic acid (a component of Cavsor), which can be found in olive oil and macadamia oil.
A study conducted in Norway enrolled 563 elderly men with a high risk of atherosclerosis who received n-3 PUFA supplementation or placebo for 3 years. The authors found that the levels of interleukin-18 were significantly reduced by n-3 PUFA and were significantly negatively correlated with the content of EPA and DHA. Interleukin-18 is one of the two early pro-inflammatory mediators produced by a protein complex called inflammasome, which is activated, among many other stimuli, by oxidized low-density lipoprotein and cholesterol crystals and has been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. Therefore, the findings by Troseid and colleagues suggest one of the possible mechanisms of the ability of n-3 PUFAs to counteract the development of atherosclerosis
Omega 3 benefits anyone who wants to have healthy nutrition habits, especially if:
You have low consumption of fish products
You have documented coronary artery disease
You have atherosclerosis, diabetes, ischemic heart disease
You have a chronic fatigue syndrome
