Pure Encapsulations® Omega-3 – Highly Concentrated Fish Oil with EPA and DHA for Heart, Brain, and Vision

Further product information

Pure Encapsulations® Omega-3 contains 1000 mg of high-quality, concentrated fish oil with the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

EPA and DHA are polyunsaturated fatty acids that perform important functions in the human body. Both contribute to normal heart function. DHA also supports the maintenance of normal brain function and vision.

The fish oil capsules are suitable for targeted supplementation of omega-3 intake, especially if fatty fish is rarely consumed.

Properties and benefits

• Heart function: EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function.

• Brain function: DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function.

• Vision: DHA supports the maintenance of normal vision.

• Blood pressure: EPA and DHA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood pressure with a sufficiently high daily intake.

Omega-3 fatty acids – Important for the body

Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids.

The most important examples include:

• EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid): A long-chain omega-3 fatty acid that, together with DHA, contributes to normal heart function.

• DHA (docosahexaenoic acid): An important component of cell membranes, especially in the brain and retina.

• ALA (alpha-linolenic acid): An essential plant-based omega-3 fatty acid from which the body can produce limited amounts of EPA and DHA.

Since the conversion of ALA to EPA and especially DHA is only limited, it is advisable to ensure an adequate supply through suitable foods.

EPA and DHA for normal heart function

EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function.

The positive effect is achieved with a daily intake of a total of 250 mg of EPA and DHA.

Furthermore, EPA and DHA can support additional functions in lipid metabolism and blood pressure regulation at higher doses.

A daily intake of 3 g of EPA and DHA is required to maintain normal blood pressure. 2 g of EPA and DHA daily are required to maintain normal blood triglyceride levels.

These high intake amounts should not be pursued without professional advice.

DHA for brain and vision

DHA is an important component of the cell membranes in the brain and the retina of the eye.

It contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision.

The positive effect is achieved with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA.

Omega-3 during pregnancy and breastfeeding

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, an adequate DHA supply is particularly important.

Maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal development of the brain and eyes in the fetus and breastfed infant.

This positive effect is achieved with an additional daily intake of 200 mg of DHA beyond the recommended daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA for adults.

Omega-3 fatty acids in the diet

EPA and DHA occur mainly in oily marine fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, and sardines.

The German Nutrition Society recommends eating fish once or twice a week.

Those who rarely eat fish can use suitable omega-3 dietary supplements if needed.

Highly concentrated fish oil of tested quality

Pure Encapsulations® uses high-quality fish oil that, according to the manufacturer, is tested for possible contamination with heavy metals, dioxins, and furans.

The fish oil bears the "Friend of the Sea" seal, which sets requirements for the responsible sourcing of the marine raw materials used.
