Nordic Naturals Complete Omega D3 is a dietary supplement containing an unconcentrated, naturally balanced blend of omega-3 (EPA and DHA), omega-6 (GLA) and omega-9 (oleic acid) fatty acids, which are derived from pure, fresh oil from cold-water fish (sardine, anchovy) and cold-pressed borage oil. The capsules are distinguished by a delicious lemon flavor, which masks the specific "fishy" aftertaste. In addition, the formula has been enriched with vitamin D3, which helps in the properabsorption ofcalcium and phosphorus, and also helps in the proper functioning ofthe immune system.
The product is an ideal combination of omega-3, -6 and -9 acids, which work together in synergy:
omega-3 fatty acids can be synthesized from alpha-linolenic acid and linoleic acid using the enzymes desaturase and elongase. Unfortunately, the efficiency of these enzymes is quite low and further decreases with age. Therefore, in order to obtain adequate levels of omega-3 essential fatty acids, they must be supplied with food. Their dietary source can be cold-water fish, such as mackerel, herring, sardines or salmon, as well as flax seeds, walnuts or Chia seeds.
Belonging to this group of compounds and also contained in the supplement Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are substances with beneficial effects supported by many studies.
The omega-6 fatty acids are represented by the following contained in the supplement gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). It is considered conditionally essential, but as with omega-3 fatty acids, the body does not produce adequate amounts of it. GLA is extremely important for the skin - it helps keep it properly nourished and protects it from external factors. Products rich in GLA include black currant, evening primrose oil, hemp oil and borage oil, which was used in the supplement.
Omega-9 fatty acids or essential fatty acids, represented by oleic acid (OA). It is naturally produced by the body and has strong anti-inflammatory properties. OA can contribute to maintaining normal cholesterol and blood pressure levels. In food, it is found in large amounts in canola oil, peanut oil or almond oil. Borage oil also contains it.
Anti-inflammatory effects
Omega-3 fatty acids are able to suppress ongoing inflammation in the body, which in the long term can be a factor in the development of many diseases. Reduced levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, IL-10, homocysteine or tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) have been proven repeatedly in studies. In addition, the effect of omega-3 fatty acids is supported by gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which, like omega-3, promotes an increase in anti-inflammatory eicosanoids.
Cardioprotection
Omega-3 fatty acids contribute to the maintenance of normal cardiovascular performance. Increased effectiveness in the area of improving health parameters is provided by synergy with oleic acid, which also contributes to maintaining a healthy heart.
Proper brain development
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a component of the phospholipids that make up cell membranes and accounts for about 60% of all fatty acids in it. It is essential for proper brain development and nerve cell function. Oleic acid, also contained in the supplement, participates in the formation of the myelin sheath. It is a form of protection for nerve fibers.
Well-being
Omega-3 fatty acids promote emotional balance, including in stressful situations. The addition of GLA and oleic acid helps reduce hyperactivity and improve focus in people with AHDH disorders. A positive effect of EPA and DHA acids on reducing symptoms of depression has also been noted.
Improving metabolic parameters
Oleic acid and omega-3 fatty acids can help combat abdominal obesity, which is often a marker of metabolic disorders. These substances furthermore promote normal glucose tolerance. Too much sugar is toxic to the body and can lead to kidney damage, nerve damage and increase the risk of CUK.
Radiant skin
Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation associated with overexposure to UV rays and protect skin from burns. GLA helps keep the skin hydrated and prevent it from drying out, resulting in radiant, smoother and firmer skin. GLA acid from borage oil has been shown to help fight eczema, a skin condition associated with inflammation occurring on the top layer of the skin.
In summary, Nordic Naturals Complete Omega is a high-quality omega-3 acid, enriched with gamma linolenic acid and oleic acid, enriched with vitamin D3. Through synergism of action, these acids effectively support the cardiovascular system, help fight inflammation and promote healthy, firm skin. In addition, the supplement supports the maintenance of well-being and supports normal glucose metabolism.
