Product description:
- A highly concentrated dose of pure marine omega-3 - EPA and DHA - from fish oil in the triglyceride form.
- Supports the normal function of the heart, the brain and vision.
- Soft gels built with fish gelatin from tilapia instead of the usual bovine or porcine gelatin.
The brain, the eyes and the heart all draw on the same two fats, and the body cannot build either of them for itself. With that in mind, Nordic Naturals created Ultimate Omega-3 1280 mg 60 Fish Gels - Lemon Taste! Those two are EPA and DHA, marine polyunsaturated fatty acids that have to arrive with food. The plant omega-3 in flaxseed or walnuts is often taken for the same thing, but it is only a precursor: the body would first have to rebuild it into EPA and DHA, and it does so reluctantly enough that in practice what counts is what arrives ready-made from the sea. Inside is the brand's flagship, highly concentrated oil, drawn from 100% wild-caught fish: anchovies, sardines, mackerel and herring, small and short-lived species from low in the marine food chain - a life that short leaves no time to store in the tissues what large, long-lived fish accumulate. The fat is in the triglyceride form - the same one it has inside the fish - rather than the ethyl esters that only arise in processing. The body recognises that form and absorbs it without further conversion. The shell here is built from fish gelatin obtained from tilapia rather than from beef or pork, so the capsule stays within reach of people for whom that is a condition.
EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart, and DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision. Each of them gets there by a different route. DHA is a building material: it is built permanently into the walls of the cells of the brain and the retina. A wall built with it stays soft and mobile, and that is the condition for the proteins embedded in it to work and pass a signal without delay - which is why the brain and the eye hold more DHA than any other tissue in the body. EPA behaves the other way round: it rarely settles in tissue, but circulates with the blood and becomes the raw material cells use to make their own messenger molecules - the ones they talk to each other with and steer their daily work by. Exactly the same wall surrounds the cells of the heart muscle, so the heart draws on the material and on the signal alike - which is why the two acids are always named together.
