Omega-3 are essential polyunsaturated fatty acids for the body. They help fight inflammation and joint issues and form a key structural component of our brain and nervous system.
They are mainly found in fish oils. These fats are vital because the body cannot produce all of them on its own. However, from linoleic acid, the body can synthesize other omega-3 fatty acids needed for optimal function.
Many studies have been conducted on their effectiveness, with some still ongoing.
To ensure sufficient omega-3 intake, it’s best to avoid vegetable oils high in omega-6, such as corn, sunflower, and soybean oil. Oils like canola, walnut, flaxseed, and olive are more suitable.
It’s also beneficial to consume at least two meals per week containing fish, as well as eggs, chia seeds, nuts, or algae, which also provide omega fatty acids. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids compete for the same enzymes for absorption. While omega-6 fatty acids are important for various bodily functions, excessive intake can have negative effects, including promoting inflammation.
Ideally, omega-3 intake should come from food, but eating fish twice a week may be challenging and ecologically unsound. Fish can also contain harmful heavy metals. Supplements, however, are regulated and free from these concerns, providing a safe and reliable source of omega-3.
QNT Care’s Omega-3 supplement offers 1,200 mg of omega-3 per capsule with 2.75 g of vitamin E, ensuring a sufficient daily intake to fully benefit from omega-3s. The Omega-3 (100 mg) version contains slightly less EPA and DHA but includes 6 mg of vitamin E.
Particularly important for active individuals, omega-3s also help reduce inflammation in muscles and joints caused by training. They promote optimal muscle recovery and support overall muscle growth, while contributing to general health.
The oils used in QNT’s Omega-3 are cold-extracted from wild-caught Scandinavian fish. They are then carefully purified and encapsulated in Belgium using a modern antioxidant process. Everything is done to preserve the raw power of nature contained in these precious fish oils. Start your Omega-3 regimen today to enhance both strength and health!
