Omega-3 fatty acids

Omega 3: unsaturated fatty acids

Omega 3 fatty acids are nutrients that support a healthy lifestyle. These polyunsaturated fatty acids include docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).

These essential fatty acids are not produced by our bodies and must be obtained from food. They are abundant in oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and herring, as well as in flaxseed, walnuts and chia seeds. DHA is involved in maintaining normal brain function and vision, while EPA helps maintain normal blood pressure and heart function at a daily intake of 250mg.

Omega-3 fatty acids

DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) are two important omega-3 fatty acids that play an important role in the body. They are mostly extracted from fish, especially oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and herring, but also from seafood such as krill and green-lipped mussels. There is even a vegan source of these fatty acids, namely from algal oil.

DHA (docosahexaenoic acid): DHA is particularly well known for its role in providing support for normal brain function. It is an important component of the cell membranes in our brain and nerve cells. DHA contributes to normal brain function and helps maintain normal vision. Its beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250mg.

EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid): EPA contributes to normal heart function and supports the maintenance of normal triglyceride levels in the blood. In addition, it also helps maintain normal blood pressure. It is important to note that the supplemental daily intake of EPA and DHA should not exceed 5 grams.

At Kala Health, we believe in taking responsibility for our planet and protecting our oceans. Therefore, we have made a considered 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 is the star within our range, and for good reason. Krill, tiny 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 fragile marine ecosystems.

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

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

Green-lipped mussel oil (Aspitol), obtained from GlycOmega® green-lipped mussel oil combined with olive oil, offers an exceptional combination of omega-3 fatty acids. Besides the well-known omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA, green-lipped mussel oil also contains other rare omega-3 fatty acids not commonly found in other sources.

A notable addition to this fatty acid profile are furan fatty acids, a newly discovered group of omega-3 fatty acids. These furan fatty acids are found exclusively in algae that thrive in the cold, deep and salty coastal waters of New Zealand. Green-lipped mussels, which are native to the 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.
