Our salmon oil is cold-pressed and has therefore retained all the nutrients that come naturally from the salmon. It is unique because it contains 8 different Omega fatty acids and the important antioxidant Astaxanthin. A natural content of the known fatty acids that the body does not produce naturally (Omega-3-6-7-9). It also contains Omega 1-4-5 and 11. Extensive research has been done on the effect of these fatty acids and their effects on the brain and lungs.
Salmon oil is a valuable source of omega fatty acids, which are known for their many health benefits. This oil, which is extracted from salmon, contains a number of omega fatty acids which help to maintain good health.
Omega Fatty Acids in Salmon Oil: Salmon oil contains a unique composition of omega fatty acids:
- Omega-3s: Includes EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), known for their heart and brain benefits1.
- Omega-6s: Another type of polyunsaturated fatty acid that plays a role in cell growth and supports skin and hair health.
- Omega-7s: Less often mentioned, but helps to promote healthy skin and mucous membranes.
- Omega-9s: A monounsaturated fatty acid that can help improve the immune system and regulate blood sugar levels.
- DPA: Another omega-3 fatty acid that supports the cardiovascular system1.
Health benefits of salmon oil:
- Heart health: EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function and can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease23.
- Brain function: DHA is important for brain function and development2.
- Sight: DHA helps to maintain normal vision2.
- Pregnancy: Intake of DHA by pregnant and breastfeeding mothers contributes to normal brain development in the fetus and infants who are breastfed2.
Approved health claims from EFSA and FDA: EFSA has approved health claims indicating that EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function, normal brain function and normal vision. They have also recognized the importance of DHA intake for pregnant and nursing mothers2. The FDA has recognized that EPA and DHA can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease3.
Salmon oil is therefore not only a source of omega-3, but also other omega fatty acids that play a role in maintaining a healthy body. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate intake of these nutrients based on individual health needs.
