Liposomal Omega-3, 60 capsules

Product detailed description

Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids are essential for our body, that is, necessary. They play a significant role in maintaining the health of the brain, heart, and joints, and they also fulfill a wide range of other tasks that contribute to the proper functioning of many organ systems. 

However, our body cannot produce them on its own and the only way to obtain them is through diet. However, usability can be problematic if we obtain them only from plant sources, or the risk of contamination if omega-3 fatty acids come from fish and small marine animals.

The solution is vegan Liposomal Omega-3 from NaturLabs from seaweed grown sustainably without interfering with the marine ecosystem. They do not contain heavy metals and their production does not contribute to damage to the ocean ecosystem, as can be the case with fish-based omega-3 supplements.

This dietary supplement is enriched with a unique patented liposomal structure of natural phospholipids, which ensures the highest possible bioavailability in the human body and protection against oxidation.

GET TO KNOW OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS

Omega-3s are so-called essential fatty acids, which means that our body cannot produce them on its own. There are many types of omega-3 fatty acids. The best known of these are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), with the latter two having the most significant biological effect. These two fatty acids are the best-known metabolic derivatives of ALA.

Our nervous system, brain, cardiovascular system, hormonal system, and even joints need enough EPA and DHA to function properly.

Why are omega-3 fatty acids important:

• EPA/DHA contribute to normal heart function
• DHA contributes to maintaining normal brain function
• DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision

FROM WHAT SOURCES CAN OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS BE OBTAINED?

Animal-derived fatty acids

Omega-3 fatty acids of animal origin are found mainly in fish and shellfish. However, these are consumed only minimally in our region, and therefore the intake of essential fatty acids is not covered as it should be. These omega-3 fatty acids are most often consumed in the form of supplements made primarily from fish oil.

The disadvantage of fish supplements, but also fish itself, is the potential risk of contamination with toxic substances. Today, fish oil can accumulate, for example, dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), pesticides and heavy metals due to polluted seawater. 

Unfortunately, in today's world, marine fish are the cheapest option for obtaining essential fatty acids. Scientists say that if the decline of marine species due to overfishing and climate change continues at the current rate, all commercial fish and seafood species could collapse by 2048. [1]

Fatty acids from plant sources

Although a typical plant-based diet contains omega-3 fatty acids, it does not provide sufficient intake of the necessary EPA and DHA. Although we can obtain ALA from plant-based foods such as walnuts, chia seeds, flaxseeds and others, the conversion of ALA into EPA and DHA in the human body is low. It is estimated to be around 10% in men and around 20% in women. For this reason , it is very important to consume the final metabolites of ALA – EPA and DHA – from sources that can provide them.

Seaweed is the solution

An ideal plant-based and ecological source for humans is high-quality algae, which contain the necessary amount of DHA and EPA. 

Liposomal Omega-3 from NaturLabs is safe for human health while having minimal environmental impacts. The product does not contain any industrial contaminants, mercury or other heavy metals and is a more environmentally friendly alternative to fish or krill oil supplements.

WHAT MAKES NATURLABS LIPOSOMAL OMEGA-3 UNIQUE? 

1. They do not oxidize

Liposomal structure LipocellTech protects this product against oxidation. Both during storage and during passage through the digestive system. By encasing the entire active ingredient, the phospholipid vesicle essentially preserves it. This technology works as a natural antioxidant. Unlike conventional omega-3 supplements, our liposomal ones do not need added antioxidants to last during storage.

2. High bioavailability

Thanks to the patented LipocellTech technology, Liposomal Omega-3 from NaturLabs has exceptionally high bioavailability. By protecting omega-3 fatty acids from oxidation, the Liposomal form provides them with the same protection in the digestive tract. Here, after ingestion, this active ingredient is protected against degradation during the digestion process and is more readily absorbed into the blood plasma - and thus directly to its destination, i.e. into the target cells.

3. 100% vegan and sustainable

The source of omega-3 fatty acids in this dietary supplement is fermented algae from a closed system. This ensures that its production does not have a negative impact on the marine ecosystem and This supplement does not contain contaminants from the ocean.

MORE REASONS TO TAKE OMEGA-3 IN LIPOSOMAL FORM

Omega-3s are lipophilic compounds, meaning they dissolve in fats. When administered alone, omega-3s are very poorly absorbed and the body only receives a small amount of active substances. The solution to this problem is the liposomal form.

Omega-3 in liposomal form is "encapsulated" into liposomes, which greatly increases their bioavailability and biological activity.

Liposomes are molecules whose outer shell is made up of healthy fats (natural phospholipids) that encapsulate the contained functional substances. During absorption from the intestine, this fatty coating provides a protective cover for the active ingredient. The liposomal vesicle is naturally absorbed through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream, carrying with it the intact omega-3 molecule hidden within, which is then easily absorbed from the blood directly into the cells. 

Compared to conventional dietary supplements, the liposomal form eliminates the risk of degradation of the active ingredient due to the digestion process. The liposomal shell protects the active ingredient during passage through the digestive tract.

In general, the liposomal form increases the absorbability of the active ingredient by up to twenty times and enables cellular absorption of more than 90%. In addition, the liposomal form of vitamins brings your body a number of benefits proven by numerous clinical studies. 

Benefits of liposomal omega-3

• Better transport of the active substance to its destination - through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream and from there easy absorption directly into the cells 
• Perfect bioavailability – the usability of dietary supplements for the organism
• The liposomal layer protects the active ingredient against damage in the digestive tract 
• No aftertaste, long shelf life and purity (no additives) – all thanks to the loose form

UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY AT THE MOLECULAR LEVEL

Liposomal forms have been successfully used in medicine for many years to increase the absorption of active substances into the body. 

Liposomal vitamins from NaturLabs use 100% natural LipoCellTech technology, which ensures their perfect absorbability. So you can finally feel the real effect of supplementation.

Specifically, it works by encasing the active ingredient molecule with a phospholipid layer during processing. It is very similar to our cells, so the cells accept it more easily and the contents easily penetrate inside. On the one hand, the phospholipid layer protects the active substance as it passes through the digestive tract to prevent its premature degradation. At the same time, it also enables smooth transport of the active substance directly into the cells.

Such a liposomal structure is inherent to the body, and after the active substance is delivered to the cell, the phospholipids themselves become nutrition for the cell envelope, where they help regenerate cells and tissues.

WHY PREFER BULK LIPOSOMAL FOOD SUPPLEMENTS IN CAPSULES?

Liposomal dietary supplements are produced in bulk and liquid form. What are the advantages of powder-filled capsules over the more popular liquid form?

• Powder capsules are easily portable, suitable for travel and convenient to use.
• The loose form of our dietary supplements is just pure powder without additives. Of course, it does not contain any fillers, preservatives or inactive ingredients.
• Unlike liquid forms, whose unappetizing taste is often masked by flavorings, the powder in a natural capsule has a completely neutral taste.
• Powder packaged in a capsule lasts much longer. Unlike liquid supplements, which must be consumed quickly after opening, the powder form has a longer shelf life and is more stable.
• The dietary supplement is 100% vegan, GMO free.
