What are Omega-3 Fatty Acids and why are they so important for our Health, Well-being and mental and physical Performance?

Omega-3 fatty acids belong to the group of unsaturated essential fatty acids. Essential means that these fatty acids are vital for your body and must be supplied by food or supplements, since your body can not produce them from other compounds.

In your body omega-3 fatty acids fulfil a variety of important functions. Among other things, they serve as important building blocks of all cell membranes, as well as building blocks for your brain and your nerve cells. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids are important precursors needed for the production of numerous endogenous anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. This means that your body needs sufficient amounts of omega-3 fatty acids to fight inflammation. Other important body processes in which omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role include your body's natural hormone production, the protein synthesis necessary for muscle building, your cell metabolism, the production of immune system cells, and the lubrication of your joints, just to name a few.

In addition, omega-3 fatty acids have a wide variety of benefits for health and well-being, ranging from improved insulin sensitivity to promoting your cardiovascular health and relieving joint pain, as well as enhancing your physical and mental performance.

And as if that was not enough, omega-3 fatty acids can help you to lose body fat during a diet and promote a neat and attractive appearance of your skin and your hair.

If you take a closer look at the list of features and benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, you will find many aspects that are of particular importance for hard and intensively exercising people. Not without reason fish oil capsules and omega-3 products have always been part of the supplement regimen of many successful athletes and bodybuilders.

What are the Consequences of an Omega-3 Deficiency and why is such a Deficiency so prevalent?

It is hard to imagine that in a world dominated by obesity and an over-consumption of fat and sugar, there could be a shortage of a fatty acid, of which our body needs less than one gram per day, but such a deficiency is unfortunately very widespread. This is primarily related to the fact that omega-3 fatty acids occur naturally only in a few foods. These foods include fatty fish, a range of vegetable oils like flax seed oil, meat from grass fed cattle and certain algae. If your diet does not provide adequate amounts of these foods on a regular basis, you are likely to suffer from an omega-3 fatty acid deficiency.

But even these sources of omega-3 fatty acids differ significantly in terms of their biological value for the human body. While omega-3 fatty acids from animal sources such as fatty fish can be utilized by your body very efficiently, omega-3 fatty acids from plant sources must first be converted into the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA your body can use. The conversion rate of plant based omega-3 fatty acids to EPA is less than five percent and the conversion rate to DHA is less than one percent. To make things even worse, the production of the enzymes required for this conversion decreases with age. Because of this you may suffer from an omega-3 fatty acid deficiency even if you consume substantial amounts of plant based omega-3 sources. As a rule of thumb, many nutritional experts are of the opinion that people who do not eat fatty fish such as salmon, sardine, mackerel, etc. at least once a week are likely to consume too few omega-3 fatty acids.

Do you remember all the important functions that omega-3 fatty acids have in your body? A lack of omega-3 fatty acids will affect ALL of these functions and processes, which can have devastating effects on your health and well-being. The consequences of such a deficiency can range from dry, brittle skin to limited physical and mental performance, to serious health problems. There is also another factor that can increase your need for omega-3 fatty acids, and this factor is related to the high consumption of omega-6 fatty acids in our society. Even though Omega-6 fatty acids are essential fatty acids that are found in high amounts in many animal and vegetable fat sources, and your body requires small quantities for many important bodily functions, these fatty acids also possess pro-inflammatory effects that may not only promote and aggravate joint problems, but may also endanger and worsen your cardiovascular health.

For a healthy regulation of the inflammatory reactions in your body, the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids in your diet has proven to be a decisive factor. A healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids is considered even more important than the absolute daily amount of omega-3 fatty acids consumed. The optimal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids is thought to be between 3:1 to 5:1, while in most person’s diet this ratio is more in the range of 20:1 or higher. All of this may not sound very positive, but the good news is that a daily supplementation with our highly concentrated Triglyceride Omega-3 Sports Edition will not only cover your daily omega-3 fatty acid needs, but also promote a healthy omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio.

Why is Triglyceride Omega-3 Sports Edition superior to all herbal Omega-3 Products and virtually all other Fish Oil Products?

In addition to fish oil products, you will also find a wide variety of omega-3 supplements from plant sources, such as the flax seed oil supplements on the market that have been traditionally available for decades. All of these supplements are far inferior to fish oil based supplements such as our Triglyceride Omega-3 Sports Edition due to the already mentioned inadequate conversion of plant based omega-3 fatty acids into the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA needed by your body. Therefore these products are not really suited to supply your body with sufficient amounts of omega-3 fatty acids.

But also fish oil products containing the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA needed by your body can differ in quality. Most fish oil products available on the market contain just 25% omega-3 fatty acids, while some higher quality products may contain up to 50% omega-3 fatty acids. But Triglyceride Omega-3 Sports Edition surpasses all these products with ease because of its incredible omega-3 fatty acid content of 75%, providing you with the most concentrated source of EPA and DHA available on the market!

This has the advantage that you will have to swallow significantly less capsules and that you can consume significantly less extra fat in order to meet your omega-3 needs. In addition to this, the risk of an unpleasant fishy taste regurgitation, which some people complain about after taking ordinary fish oil capsules, also decreases significantly as you will consume much less fish oil per serving.

Which properties of Triglyceride Omega-3 Sports Edition are of particular interest to athletes?

Due to the important roles omega-3 fatty acids play in countless important body processes that have direct and indirect influences on your physical performance, a sufficient omega-3 intake is an absolute must for every athlete who wants to achieve an optimal and maximum level of performance. Without sufficient amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, your body will not function optimally, which will inevitably affect your athletic performance.

But omega-3 fatty acids also have a number of other very interesting properties for athletes. These include, among others, strong anti-inflammatory properties. Because of this omega-3 fatty acids can promote and accelerate your post-workout recovery, reduce muscle pain and muscle soreness, relieve joint pain and promote alleviation in case of painful joint inflammation. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids are needed for a healthy lubrication of your joints and can thereby counteract joint problems caused by excessive wear.

For intensively training athletes it may also be interesting to note that omega-3 fatty acids can promote the preferential use of body fat for fuel, which will spare your glycogen reserves, allowing you to perform longer with maximum intensity (3, 4). This may be particularly beneficial while on a calorie reduced diet during which your glycogen reserves will often already be partially depleted right at the beginning of your workout.

How can Triglyceride Omega-3 Sports Edition support your Health and Wellbeing?

The scientifically proven positive effects of omega-3 fatty acids for health, well-being and physical and mental performance are so diverse that you could fill an entire book with them. For this reason, we can only give you a brief overview of the most important ones here.

Omega-3 fatty acids can promote the maintenance of a healthy cardiovascular system through a variety of different mechanisms, including beneficial effects on your cholesterol and blood lipid levels, a reduction of high blood pressure, an improved blood flow, and a reduced risk of thrombosis. In addition, the anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the risk of developing atherosclerosis, which is considered to be a primary risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. With this in mind, it is not surprising that numerous studies have shown that a omega-3 fatty acid supplementation can reduce the risk of heart attack by 30 to 70% (1, 2).

The aforementioned anti-inflammatory properties can not only alleviate joint discomfort but, according to numerous scientific studies, also have a positive effect on conditions such as asthma or inflammatory bowel disease.

In addition, omega-3 fatty acids can promote a healthy brain function and, according to recent findings, may even protect against degenerative brain diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

There is even evidence that omega-3 fatty acids may help to slow down the body's aging process and physical decline with age. Part of the negative effects of the aging process are based on the fact that the so-called telomeres, which protect the DNA from damage, get shorter and shorter with age, which means that the cells become more susceptible to damage and mutations. However, recent scientific studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids can effectively counteract this shortening of telomeres.

How can Triglyceride Omega-3 Sports Edition support and speed up your Fat Loss?

In addition to their beneficial effects on health, well-being, and physical & mental performance, omega-3 fatty acids may also aid and accelerate your fat loss. Numerous scientific studies have come to the conclusion that omega-3 fatty acids may increase your fat loss by 2 to 4 pounds within 4 weeks. There are a number of possible reasons for these amazing effects. Scientific research has shown that the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA can increase the use of body fat for fuel (3, 4). Not only may this speed up your fat loss - it may also allow you to work harder and more intense during your workouts by sparing your glycogen reserves during your diet, which will help you to burn more calories. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids can enhance your body’s insulin sensitivity, resulting in more stable blood sugar levels and less fluctuations of your blood glucose levels, which are one of the main reasons for food cravings. And with cravings being the worst enemy of any diet, Triglyceride Omega-3 Sports Edition can help you achieve your fat loss goals faster.
