마더네스트 프리미엄 슈퍼 오메가-3 (300캡슐)

Overview

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that play a fundamental role in maintaining overall health. Our Premium Super Omega-3 High Concentration Fish Oil delivers a potent dose of EPA and DHA in every capsule—nutrients scientifically recognised for their contribution to cardiovascular, brain, eye, and skin health. With a purified, high-strength formula, this supplement offers advanced support for those seeking a quality omega-3 source.

How Was It Discovered?

The benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids were first observed in the 1970s in Greenland Inuit populations, whose high intake of marine fats correlated with excellent heart health. This sparked decades of clinical research into EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), the two key omega-3s derived from marine sources. These compounds were found to support multiple physiological functions, particularly those involving cardiovascular and inflammatory systems. 

What Is Its Role in the Human Body?

EPA and DHA are critical building blocks of cell membranes.

• EPA supports cardiovascular health and inflammatory regulation
• DHA is a primary structural component of the brain, retina, and skin
  Together, they help modulate inflammatory responses, maintain blood lipid levels, support circulation, and promote nervous system function.

What Foods Is It Naturally Found In?

EPA and DHA are naturally found in:

• Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, sardines, and anchovies
• Shellfish
• Fish oil supplements
• While some plant-based foods (e.g. flaxseed, chia) contain ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), the body converts only a small percentage to EPA/DHA.

How Is It Beneficial?

Clinical evidence has shown that Omega-3s can:

• Support Heart Health: According to the American Heart Association, Omega-3s help maintain healthy triglyceride levels, normal blood pressure, and vascular function.
• Support Brain Health: DHA is essential for maintaining the structure and function of brain cells, with potential benefits for memory and mood.
  Reduce Inflammation: EPA has anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce joint discomfort and stiffness associated with mild osteoarthritis.
• Enhance Eye & Skin Health: DHA supports the integrity of retinal cells and may help combat dry eyes. Both EPA and DHA contribute to maintaining skin hydration and elasticity.

What Does the Research Say About the Supplement’s Efficacy?

• A meta-analysis published in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that Omega-3 supplementation was associated with reduced cardiovascular risk, especially with high doses of EPA/DHA.
• The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) highlights ongoing research into Omega-3's role in cognitive function and joint health, supporting their use as part of a balanced health regime.
• The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) supports health claims for DHA and EPA in maintaining heart, eye, and brain health when consumed at appropriate levels.

Warnings, Safety, Side Effects & Interactions

• If symptoms persist, talk to your health professional.
• Omega-3s are generally well tolerated. Some individuals may experience mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as fishy aftertaste or upset stomach.
• Use caution if you are taking blood-thinning medications (e.g., warfarin) – consult your doctor before use.
• Always follow the recommended dosage unless otherwise advised by your health professional.
