Omega 3s are important for the proper structure of the membranes surrounding all cells and organs in the body. Their lack causes permeability of the membranes, which then allow foreign compounds to penetrate into the alarm clocks, which can cause allergies, asthma, eczema and skin problems - dry skin, hair problems, delicate and frayed nails… Omega 3s are essential for the transport and metabolism of blood fats. They can reduce their high levels and thus reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. The highest concentration of Omega 3 occurs in the brain and retina of the eye. If the fetus or young child does not have enough of these acids, they may experience irreversible damage to their eyesight or ability to learn.
Effects of Omega 3
- together with amino acid oxides they help transfer oxygen across cell membranes. As a result, the muscles regenerate faster and lactic acid is broken down faster
- At higher doses (45-60 ml per day), metabolism is accelerated to such an extent that excess fat is burned and oxygen transfer in the body is increased
- Improves blood circulation
- Helps increase insulin levels
The prostaglandins that the body makes from Omega 3 regulate processes in the body such as restoring normal platelet "stickiness", maintaining normal blood pressure by regulating arterial muscle, inflammatory processes such as arthritis and psoriasis, sodium excretion, which regulates water retention in the body, immune system.
