The power of fish!

We humans are not able to produce the vital omega-3 fatty acids by ourselves and are therefore dependent on an external supply.

Theoretically, this means that we have to include fatty fish in our diet on daily basis since the average European who does not regularly enjoy the typical Mediterranean cuisine enjoys far less fish products in his food menu.

But why should we have special attention to these special fatty acids?

When we have undefined inflammation in the body, eye problems, fatigue or mood swings, do we think of a deficiency of these fats? Especially in times of stress, pain, advancing age or certain diseases and unhealthy diet or poor nutrition, supplementation is highly recommended.

Many manufacturers only produce the unnatural ethyl ester (EE) from the fish oils, as this is significantly cheaper. It consists of only one fatty acid, which is bound to an ethanol molecule and does not occur in this form in nature. Our body is hardly able to absorb this form of fat!

In contrast, Triglycerides (“TG”) consist of three fatty acid chains, as they also occur in nature. This naturally results in a high bioavailability. According to a study, this bioavailability is up to 70% higher than that of the simple “EE” form. Another study also showed that the “TG” form is subject to significantly lower oxidation processes than the “EE” forms.

Since there are these crucial qualitative differences in the processing of fish oils, we at Vitaalia offer one of the best available forms of Omega 3.
