"Omega-3 - Brain and heart optimizer" is a dietary supplement that should be in the repertoire of every health-conscious athlete and non-athlete alike. It contains pure fish oil, one of the highest quality sources of Omega-3 fatty acids.

Why Omega-3 supplementation is recommended:

Omega-3 fats are essential, meaning they are vital for life. The human body cannot produce them, so they must be obtained through diet. The problem is that few foods contain sufficient amounts of omega-3 fats. They can be found in some vegetable oils, nuts, algae, and fatty saltwater fish. Most plant-based omega-3 sources primarily contain a variant of the omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). However, this is more difficult for the human body to utilize because it must first be converted into the biologically active forms eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA and DHA are found mainly in fish such as salmon and herring. Since these fish are not consumed in sufficient quantities by most Central Europeans, and the quality of the fatty acid profile deteriorates due to storage, transportation, and preparation methods, it is almost impossible to obtain the recommended amounts of omega-3 fats without supplementation.

Omega-3 and their health benefits:

The health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids can be enormous. Among other things, they can promote brain and heart health, as well as eyesight, and support hormone production. They can reduce inflammatory processes in the body and thus, for example, alleviate joint pain. They can also have a positive effect on hair growth and skin appearance.

Furthermore, omega-3 fatty acids can have a positive effect on fat metabolism. They increase the amount of body fat used for energy, which can improve athletic performance by conserving intramuscular glycogen stores and support fat loss during a diet. Omega-3s can also have a positive effect on cholesterol levels.
