Health Benefits of Fatty Acids

Omega 3 fatty acids play an important part in the functioning of every living cell in the body. Specifically they may help the body in several ways including: improving the circulatory system, aiding concentration, maintaining a balanced mood and keeping joints in good condition.

The EPA in Vegepa is derived from fish oil - the highest yielding source of long-chain omega-3 fats. This fatty acid forms a vital part of the diet as it enables the body to produce many substances that are necessary for health and well-being. EPA also plays a vital role in the structure, development and functioning of the brain. It can benefit sufferers of an array of mental and physical illnesses as well as lowering the risk of many potential health problems.

The EPO in Vegepa fish oil is derived from the cold-pressing of evening primrose seeds. When EPO is unprocessed and unrefined it is a rich source of botanical triterpenes - hormone-like substances which play an important role in immune function. EPO is renowned for oiling the joints and nourishing the skin, hair and nails. A rich source of the omega-6 GLA, the importance of EPO in relation to the structure of cell membrances and, consequently, effective cell signalling, cannot be over-emphasised.

The manufacturing process for Vegepa is of the highest standard. Using a molecular distillation process the EPA is extracted from fish oil - and hence ultra-purified - removing all unwanted substances and impurities including DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Whilst this omega-3 fatty acid is vital for health, EPA is converted naturally by the body into DHA so it is unnecessary to take DHA in supplement form. Furthermore, some studies have demonstrated that DHA in supplement form inhibits the beneficial effects of EPA. The highly purified oil is left "ultra-pure" and in a form that is most bioavailable to the body. To find out more about this please click here.

It is recommended that Vegepa omega 3 fish oil should be taken on a daily basis. To find out more please click here.
