Omega 3: Crucial Unsaturated Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that are crucial for a healthy lifestyle. These polyunsaturated fatty acids include docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which are vital for various bodily functions.

These essential fatty acids are not produced by our bodies and must be obtained from our diet. They are abundantly present in fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, and herring, as well as in flaxseeds, walnuts, and chia seeds. DHA is involved in maintaining normal brain function and vision, while EPA contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure and heart function.

Kala Health offers a selection of high-quality products, including krill oil, green-lipped mussel oil (Aspitol®), and Vegan Omega-3.

DHA and EPA: Essential Omega-3 Fatty Acids

DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) and EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) are two crucial omega-3 fatty acids that play a significant role in the body. They are typically derived from fish, especially fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and herring, as well as from shellfish such as krill and green-lipped mussels. There is even a vegan source of these fatty acids, namely, from algae oil.

DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid): DHA is particularly known for its role in supporting normal brain function. It is a vital component of cell membranes in our brains and nerve cells. DHA contributes to normal brain function and helps maintain normal vision.

EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid): EPA contributes to the normal functioning of the heart and supports the maintenance of normal triglyceride levels in the blood. Additionally, it also assists in maintaining normal blood pressure.

Our Commitment to Sustainability: Why No Fish Oil in Our Range?

At Kala Health, we believe in taking responsibility for our planet and protecting our oceans. Therefore, we have made a conscious decision not to offer fish oil products. Instead, we are committed to sustainable sources of omega-3 fatty acids, such as Krill Oil, Green-Lipped Mussel Oil, and Vegan Omega-3 from algae oil.

Krill Oil: The Sustainable Choice

Krill oil is the star within our range, and for good reason. Krill, small shrimp-like crustaceans from the depths of the ocean, are abundant and thrive in the pristine Antarctic waters. Harvesting krill has minimal ecological impact and is strictly regulated to protect vulnerable marine ecosystems.

What truly sets krill oil apart from traditional fish oil are the phospholipids. Unlike fish oil, where omega-3 fatty acids are bound to triglycerides, in krill oil, they are bound to phospholipids. Phospholipids are soluble in both water and fat, unlike triglycerides. This means they are better absorbed by the body, resulting in higher bioavailability and effectiveness. Additionally, krill oil contains natural Astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant.

By choosing krill oil, we contribute to sustainability while also providing a superior source of omega-3 fatty acids to our customers.

Green-Lipped Mussel Oil (Aspitol®): A Unique Composition of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Green-Lipped Mussel Oil (Aspitol), obtained from GlycOmega® green-lipped mussel oil combined with Ahiflower oil®, offers an exceptional combination of omega-3 fatty acids. In addition to the well-known omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA, green-lipped mussel oil also contains other rare omega-3 fatty acids that are not commonly found in other sources.

A remarkable addition to this fatty acid profile is the furan fatty acids, a newly discovered group of omega-3 fatty acids. These furan fatty acids are exclusively found in algae thriving in the cold, deep, and salty coastal waters of New Zealand. The green-lipped mussels, native to this region, filter these rare fatty acids from the water and store them. This results in a unique composition of omega-3 fatty acids in green-lipped mussel oil.
