Τι είναι τα Ωμέγα-3 και ποιά τα οφέλη
Τα Ωμέγα 3 λιπαρά οξέα είναι θρεπτικές ουσίες
απαραίτητες για τον οργανισμό μας. Πρέπει να τις προμηθευόμαστε από τη διατροφή ή μέσω ειδικών συμπληρωμάτων,
διότι δεν μπορεί ο ίδιος μας οργανισμός να τις παράγει.
Ο ρόλος τους
είναι σπουδαίος γιατί είναι θέμελιος λίθος για την ορμονική ανάπτυξη και την
προστασία των κυττάρων, αλλά το σημαντικότερο είναι ότι προφυλλάσει το
ανοσοποιητικό σύστημα από σημαντικές ασθένειες.
Τα οφέλη των
Ωμέγα-3, είναι τεράστια για εμάς. Σας, τα παραθέτουμε πιο κάτω σε κατηγορίες.
Ενήλικες:
-Ονομάζονται «τροφή του εγκεφάλου», επειδή τα Ωμέγα-3 είναι ένα δομικό στοιχείο απαραίτητο για την ανάπτυξη κυτταρικών μεμβρανών, αλλά και για την κατασκευή ''οδών'' για τα νευρολογικά συστήματα.

-Είναι ένα
βασικό συστατικό για την υγεία του αμφιβληστροειδή, και βοηθά στη διατήρηση της
καλής όρασης.
-Ανακαλύφθηκε
πρόσφατα ότι έχουν προστατευτικές ιδιότητες κατά της νόσου του Alzheimer, καθώς και τα
αποτελέσματά της για τη μείωση των καρδιακών και καρδιαγγειακών ασθενειών,

τριγλυκεριδίων, μείωση της αρτηριακής πίεσης και τη βελτίωση της αρτηριακής
υγείας.
-Αν κάνετε μια διατροφή χαμηλή σε λιπαρά είναι ακόμη πιο σημαντικό να επωφεληθείτε από τα Ωμέγα-3. Όντας το «καλό λίπος», το Ωμέγα-3 είναι καθοριστικής σημασίας για την απορρόφηση των λιποδιαλυτών βιταμινών A, D, E και K, που απαιτούνται για αντίσταση κατά της λοίμωξης, για να έχετε υγιές δέρμα, καλή υγεία στα μάτια σας, στην καρδιά, στην κυκλοφορία, στην πήξη του αίματος και επίσης να έχετε ισχυρά οστά.

What makes Minami Nutrition Omega-3's so different
from other brands?
from other brands?
By now
you are no doubt well aware of the importance of Omega-3 fatty acids for your
general health.
The health food market has been swamped in recent years by an enormous choice of supplements.
Numerous manufacturers have jumped on the bandwagon with evocative narratives and sophisticated marketing schemes in the hope of getting a share of the hype surrounding Omega-3. However, it is important to separate the wheat from the chaff as most of the supplements sold under the ‘umbrella’ of Omega-3 are better left alone.
Research has demonstrated that the majority of the population is well aware that Omega-3 is vital to maintain good health, but few people know how little Omega-3 they consume via their diet, how to differentiate between the various products and what to look for when buying an Omega-3 supplement.

Check and compare
Essential information about a product can
be found on the packaging.
Always check the data on the packaging,
which often states ‘1000 mg fish oil’, but that is meaningless. Usually the
text on the packaging doesn’t show the origin and purity of the fish oil
either.
|
What should you look
out for?
Concentration
This refers to the exact
quantity of the most important Omega-3 fatty acids in a capsule, i.e. the DHA
and EPA concentration. A 1000 mg fish oil capsule may only contain half that
amount, or even less, in DHA and EPA, the rest consisting of, for example,
vegetable oil or Omega-6. It is not because a capsule weighs 1000 mg that it
actually contains 1000 mg of pure Omega-3 fatty acids. Always check the amount
of DHA and EPA per capsule.
Dosage
Depends on the EPA and
DHA concentration. Higher concentrations of EPA or DHA require fewer capsules
per day to meet
your daily requirement. With some brands you require four, six, even up to ten
capsules per day in order to reach the necessary daily dose of EPA or DHA*.
Cost
Don’t be fooled by the
cost of a pack of 30, 60 or 90 capsules. Calculate how many capsules you need
to take each day and how long a package will last. Cheaper products soon become
expensive if you require four or more capsules per day..
Content
Check the ingredients in
each capsule. Many manufacturers use sunflower or groundnut oil, or even
saturated fats or other fillers that might well be unhealthy, in addition to
(small) amounts of EPA and DHA.
Impact on the
environment
Choose fish or algae oil
derived from non-endangered species and a product that has been purified in an
environmentally friendly way. It is advisable to opt for smaller fish species
(mackerel, anchovies). Tuna is an endangered species, which also contains
considerable amounts of mercury and PCBs. The optimum guarantee is an EMAS
certificate (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme, approved by the European
Parliament).
The five Minami
Nutrition guarantees
1. Our products contain up to 90 - 95% pure Omega-3 per capsule so that you
only need one capsule per day.
2. PCBs, dioxins and heavy metals are below the
detection limit. In other words, our products have the highest possible degree
of purity.
3. This level of purity and eco friendly
production approach were awarded the EMAS certificate, the highest European standard.
4. The fish oil purification process does not use
chemical solvents and we do not use saturated fats as ‘fillers’ in our
capsules. We employ only a exclusive supercritical EFP extraction at very low
temperatures.
5. The effectiveness of our products has been
scientifically proven by leading researchers throughout the world. We cooperate
globally with various universities that have selected Minami Nutrition products
as the purest, optimum dose products in their research into the impact of Omega-3
on various health indicators.
Our challenge
If you can find an Omega-3 supplement that meets the 5 Minami guarantees please let us know via omega@minami-nutrition.com and you will receive a FREE MorEPA omega-3 supplement.
What does Science Say about Omega-3 Fatty
Acids
ADULTS
- EPA and DHA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood pressure
with a daily intake of 3 g EPA+DHA
- EPA and DHA contribute the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride concentrations with a daily intake of 2 g EPA+DHA
- EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart with a daily intake of at least 250 mg EPA+DHA
- DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and vision with a daily intake of 250 mg
- EPA and DHA contribute the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride concentrations with a daily intake of 2 g EPA+DHA
- EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart with a daily intake of at least 250 mg EPA+DHA
- DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and vision with a daily intake of 250 mg
PREGNANCY & BREASTFEEDING
- DHA maternal intake supports eye and brain development in the
foetus and breastfed infant if consumed at 200 mg DHA per day on top of the
recommended daily 250 mg EPA+DHA for adults.

- DHA contributes to the normal visual development of infants up to
12 months of age in a daily intake of 100 mg DHA
Minami Nutrition is committed to the advancement of scientific research for Omega-3 nutrition and has participated in 11 human clinical studies.
Scientific studies confirmed the optimal absorption of Minami Nutrition’s high Omega-3 supplements
Why Supercritical CO2 instead of Molecular Distillation ?
Minami nutrition oils are processed with 400% less heat than other
brands.
Molecular Distillation
Minami Nutrition Supercritical CO2 technology (EFP process)
Strong facts
Supercritical CO2 technology is the ideal protection against oxidation
The EFP process always works with CO2. CO2 is heavier than air thus always remains as a layer/blanket on the omega-3 ethyl esters. It is the ideal protection against oxidation! With this characteristic the production method differs strongly from the nitrogen using production methods. Nitrogen is lighter than air, forms no blanket and can only work as an efficient protection against oxidation in a closed container with overpressure. As soon as this container is opened nitrogen will escape (because it is lighter than air) and air will enter – starting the oxidation process.
