Current research about Omega-3

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) is a complex name given to a group of acids that are not produced in the human body, but are indispensable for its normal operation. The elasticity of the skin, the purity of blood vessels and the efficiency of the brain depend on them. We can get omega-3s with food. Mini-top products according to their highest content: fatty fish, flaxseed oil, chia seeds, walnuts. However, the body often needs an increased intake of PUFA. Let’s consider in which cases this is necessary.

Taking Omega-3 complex is recommended for people who:

• are at risk for the development of cardiovascular diseases;
• have elevated cholesterol levels;
• often get SARS;
• complain of restless sleep;
• tend to emotional instability;
• need to increase mental and physical endurance;
• plan to get rid of excess weight;
• want to improve the condition of the skin.

Low PUFA levels can occur for various reasons. These include chronic stress, an unbalanced diet and bad habits. If you notice several characteristic symptoms at once, do not panic. An additional intake of Omega-3 dietary supplements (Fatty Acid) from HOME of ESTER will help to quickly replenish the reserves of fatty acids in the body.

Dietary supplement. It is not a medicinal product. Consult your doctor before use.

Indications for the use of Omega-3

It is necessary to take PUFA in accordance with the official instructions. The standard dosage is 3 capsules 2 times a day, with meals. The additive should be drunk with plenty of water. The duration of admission is 1 month; if necessary, the course can be repeated.

Omega-3 capsules from HOME of ESTER are small in size and have a soft, seamless gelatin shell. This makes their reception as comfortable as possible. The composition includes Norwegian fish oil, characterized by a high content of fatty acids.

Numerous studies of Omega-3 show that this substance is critically important for maintaining health at any age. Here are the most significant scientific papers on this topic.

Dietary supplement Omega-3 (Fatty Acid) from HOME of ESTER: instructions for use

Slowing down aging


The aging process is directly related to the length of telomeres — the "tail" sections of chromosomes containing DNA. Shortened telomeres are associated with accelerated aging of body cells, as well as the occurrence of age-related diseases. And the number in the passport does not play a special role here — for some, the body may be worn out already at 35−40 years old, while many retain their biological youth even in old age.

A recent study conducted in the United States examined the effect of Omega-3 on biomarkers of cellular aging. For this purpose, participants who lead a low-activity lifestyle and are overweight were specially selected — these factors contribute to premature aging. Additionally, they were subjected to short-term stress, simulating a job interview (it is known that stress also negatively affects telomere length). The results were as follows: people who received supplements in the form of fatty acids were 24% better protected from telomere shortening compared to the placebo group. This suggests that Omega-3 promotes longevity at the cellular level.

Benefits for the heart and blood vessels


A sufficient level of PUFA is an important condition for maintaining the health of the cardiovascular system. Scientific research on Omega-3s shows that they lower the probability of:

• Stroke;
• Coronary heart disease;
• Acute myocardial infarction;
• Congestive heart failure;
• Sudden cardiac death.

PUFA has an anti-inflammatory effect, reduces arterial stiffness and prevents cholesterol from settling on the walls of blood vessels. By acting on the vagus nerve, they reduce blood pressure and heart rate.

In its turn, low acid levels are associated with an increased risk of vascular inflammation and the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.

Promoting brain health


According to data obtained at the San Antonio Medical Center, an Omega-3-enriched diet preserves cognitive functions of the brain. This effect is observed in both the elderly and young people. The study involved 2,183 volunteers with an average age of 46 years. It was found that greater consumption of PUFA is associated with:

• A more voluminous hippocampus, a part of the brain responsible for translating information into long-term memory;
• Better abstract thinking;
• Developed logical thinking;
• Fewer diseases of small vessels.

Subjects with low fatty acid intake demonstrated the worst results in the experiment.
