The body does not synthesize OMEGA-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. They are found in marine and vegetable oils. These fatty acids are indispensable to the human body and need to be taken from food in order to prevent deficiency.

The most important omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

EPA – eicosapentaenoic acid

The main role of this fatty acid is to form the molecules called eicosanoids, which have a large number of physiological functions. Eicosanoids derived from Omega 3 reduce inflammation, so an EPA-rich diet can reduce inflammation in the body. Another benefit of eicosapentaenoic acid is that it reduces depression and menopausal symptoms.

DHA – docosahexaenoic acid

Docosahexaenoic acid is an important component of the skin and the retina. It is also vital for brain development in children and for the functioning of the brain in adults. In addition, DHA has beneficial effects in arthritis, hypertension, type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer.

Large amounts of DHA are found in the brain and the retina. It comprises over 40% of the fatty acids in the brain. In the retina, it comprises 60-80% of the fatty acids in the structure of retinal photoreceptors. Therefore, a constant intake is vital for the good functioning of the brain and retina. EPA has major benefits for the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system and plays a major role in inflammatory processes.

OMEGA – 3 fatty acids:

• support the efficient functioning of the cardiovascular system, brain, heart and eyes;
• contribute to reducing the risk of myocardial infarction;
• relieve the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.

Neovita OMEGA-3  is a source of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids), which helppreserve the normal function of the heart, brain, eyes and of other vital organs and systems.

RECOMMENDED USE

Neovita OMEGA-3 is administered:

• to supplement the omega-3 fatty acids deficiency;
• to preserve the normal function of the heart, brain and eyes;
• to balance lipid metabolism (in dyslipidaemias and hyperlipidaemias);
• to reduce the risk of developing atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases (ischemic heart disease, hypertension, etc.);
• for the secondary prevention of myocardial infarction (as part of a combined therapy);
• in diabetes;
• in disorders of cerebral circulation and after suffering from a stroke;
• in blood hypercoagulability, thrombosis, varicose veins;
• in low immunity or immunodeficiency, chronic fatigue syndrome;
• in reduced attention and memory disorders;
• to improve the condition of the skin, hair and nails.

DOSAGE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION

To be taken orally, with meals or 30-40 minutes after meals, witha sufficient amount of water (about 200 ml).

Children over 9 years: 1 capsule per day.

Adults: 1 capsule 1-3 times per day:

• to preserve the normal function of the heart, brain and eyes or after myocardial infarction: 1 capsule per day;
• in hypertriglyceridemia: 1 capsule 2-3 times per day;
• to preserve normal blood pressure levels: 1 capsule 3 times per day.

Duration of administration:up to 3 months. If necessary, the administration is repeated after an interruption of at least 2-3 months or after consulting a physician.
