Omega 3 fatty acids, triglycerides or esters?

The difference between triglycerides and omega esters is their chemical structure and bioavailability, which affects the way the body absorbs and uses them.
The choice of the appropriate form of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation (TG or EE) depends on individual needs, price and availability of raw materials. Triglycerides are a natural form, better absorbed and with high bioavailability, but more expensive and less available on the market. Ethyl esters are a processed form (more available and popular on the market), eagerly used due to the possibility of obtaining a high concentration of omega-3 acids.

Triglycerides (TG)

Triglycerides are compounds in which three fatty acid molecules (e.g. omega-3) are attached to one glycerol molecule. They occur naturally in most fats and oils of plant and animal origin (e.g. fish). Triglycerides are well recognized by digestive enzymes (lipases), which is why their absorption by the body is very effective. After digestion, fatty acids are released from glycerol, allowing them to be used as an energy source or building material. 

Aliness Fish Omega-3 Forte Triglycerides  is a source of omega-3 fatty acids in an accessible form soft capsules. The main ingredient of the product is high-quality fish oil, which is characterized by a high concentration of acids Omega-3: EPA (quash eicosapentaenoy) and DHA (quash docosahexaenoy) in the form of triglycerides.

Each capsule Fish Omega-3 Forte Triglycerides provides as much as 750 mg of essential omega-3 acids, including 500 mg EPA and 250 mg DHA.

What are omega-3 fatty acids?

OMEGA-3 acids is a common name for a group of compounds belonging to essential unsaturated fatty acids (EFA). 

OMEGA-3 acids are…

ESSENTIAL – because unlike saturated fatty acids, the body is not
able to produce them itself, and they are needed at many levels of its functioning. Therefore, they must be provided in appropriate amounts in food.

UNSATURATED – which means that in the molecules of these acids there is at least one double bond between carbon atoms in the carbon chain. The suffix '3' means that the last such double bond is located at the third carbon atom from the end of the chain. 

The three main OMEGA-3 acids that play the most important role in healthy eating are:

OMEGA-3 or OMEGA-6?
Providing both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids is very important for the proper functioning of the body, however, due to the fact that in the human body the metabolism of fatty acids from the n-3 (omega 3) and n-6 ​​(omega 6) family depends on from the same enzymes, it is important to maintain their appropriate ratio in the diet.  Excessive predominance of linoleic acid (the precursor of the n-6 family) in the diet inhibits the synthesis of EPA and DHA (n-3 family) and deepens their secondary deficiency. The optimal ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 is 1:4-5. 

In the daily diet of the average European, the proportion differs significantly from the correct one and is 1:15-20, therefore, in many cases, supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids is recommended.

Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) have a beneficial effect on health, and their supplementation is recommended for people at all stages of life:

• DHA and EPA contribute to the proper functioning of the heart*
• DHA helps maintain proper vision**
• DHA contributes to maintaining normal brain functions**

* the beneficial effect occurs when consuming 250 mg of EPA and DHA per day.

** beneficial effect occurs when consuming 250 mg of DHA per day.
