  www.minami-nutrition.com/

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, μείωση της αρρυθμίας, μείωση των θρόμβων αίματος και τα επίπεδα των 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.

Οφέλη κατά την διάρκεια της εγκυμοσύνης:
-Ωμέγα-3 είναι τόσο ζωτικής σημασίας για την υγιή σωματική και ψυχική ανάπτυξη των βρεφών. Ο οργανισμός τους, ούτως η άλλως αναπτύσσεται μέρα με τη μέρα.

-Ενώ σχεδιάζετε να κάνετε μωρό ή είστε έγκυες ή θηλάζετε, οι έρευνες έχουν δείξει ότι όταν η μητέρα λαμβάνει τις συνιστώμενες ποσότητες ωμέγα-3, τα μωρά αναπτύσσονται ταχύτερα από ό, τι εκείνα των οποίων οι μητέρες που δεν κάνουν.

Οφέλη για τα παιδιά:
-Αύξηση της πρόσληψης των ω-3 μπορούν να επωφεληθούν τα άτομα με δυσλεξία, δυσπραξία και ΔΕΠΥ( Διαταραχή Ελλειμματικής Προσοχής και Υπερκινητικότητας).

Η πηγή από την οποία προσλαμβάνουμε τα ωμέγα 3 λιπαρά οξέα είναι η διατροφή, κυρίως από τα λιπαρά ψάρια όπως ο σολομός, οι σαρδέλες, ο κολιός, ο μπακαλιάρος. Υπάρχουν επίσης στη σόγια, στο λιναρόσπορο και τα έλαια τους και σε ξηρούς καρπούς όπως τα καρύδια. Τα ωμέγα 3 λιπαρά οξέα διατίθενται επιπλέον σε διατροφικά συμπληρώματα.

What makes Minami Nutrition Omega-3's so different
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

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.

INFANTS

- 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.
