Vitakruid Vegan Omega-3 1250 TG Algae Oil

Did you know that the body needs both unsaturated (omega 3) fats and saturated fats? Unsaturated fatty acids are important for inhibiting inflammation in your body, among other things. Fats are building blocks for cell walls, good for your eyesight and brain, transporters for proteins, conversion products of fatty acids act as hormones and fats can be used for energy production. Deficiencies of omega 3 have been found to be more common in many conditions, such as dementia, ADHD and depression. Another function is also to promote the burning of saturated fats. Adequate intake of omega 3 fatty acids is indispensable for good health.

Saturated fats can be produced by the body itself and we only need to consume 10% of the daily requirement of saturated fats. Daily intake of about 2 tablespoons of healthy fats are the basis for a favourable fat intake. Moderate your intake of animal fats (except fatty fish) and at least avoid trans-fatty acids (such as margarine, biscuits and crisps). Oily fish in particular contains many beneficial omega 3 fatty acids. Think of salmon, herring, mackerel or sardines. However, there is also a downside to high fish consumption and that is the heavy metals found in fish. To get good omega 3 fats, you can also eat cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil, avocado, nuts and seeds. If you don't like fish or find it difficult to incorporate healthy fats in your diet, you can take good quality fish oil capsules, which have the unhealthy substances filtered out and the oil is pure. But if you eat vegetarian then you can also take algae oil, which is 100% plant-based! We sell good quality fish oil capsules and vegan omega 3 algae oil.
