Omega 3 fatty acid

Omega-3 fatty acids belong to the group of polyunsaturated fatty acids, of which EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) are best known. Omega-3 has many properties that help maintain our health, and are an essential bioactive ingredient for children.

Omega 3 is mainly an anti-inflammatory agent.

EPA has a strong anti-inflammatory effect and not enough DHA in the diet may reduce the ability to handle sensory input. It only takes a small decrement in brain DHA to produce losses in brain function. (1)

In humans, weak sensorimotor gating is a hallmark of many nervous-system disorders such as schizophrenia or ADHD. Given mounting evidence of the role omega-3s play in the nervous system, there is intense interest in their therapeutic potential, perhaps as a supplement to medicines. For example, people with schizophrenia have lower levels of essential fatty acids, possibly from a genetic variation that results in poor metabolism of these nutrients.

The finding connects low omega-3s to the information-processing problems found in people with schizophrenia; bipolar, obsessive-compulsive, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorders; Huntington’s disease; and other afflictions of the nervous system.

Omega 3 fatty acid

Omega 3 fatty acid belongs to the group of polyunsaturated fatty acids, of which EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), and alpha linolenic acid (ALA) are best known. Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid.

Consumption of much marine fish is no longer recommended today due to the pollution of the seas. The most practical solution for consuming EPA, DHA, and GLA is by using high-quality fish oil, borage oil, or evening primrose oil in encapsulated form.

Main physiological effects of histamine intolerance and intestinal problems:

In terms of histamine intolerance, its main effect is its ability to reduce stress and reduce inflammation.

It also helps prevent the development of insulin resistance and has a positive effect on weight loss by helping to break down fat cells.

Physiological effects of Omega 3:

  • Due to their anti-inflammatory effect, it can reduce the risk of many diseases, such as vascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and some cancers. But fatty acids can also help treat diabetes, high blood pressure, and skin conditions.
  • Proper intake is essential for athletes due to the maintenance of the cardiovascular system, but it can also improve respiratory function and prevent asthma.
  • It helps the development of the fetus and reduces the incidence of preterm birth. It has a role in developing good visual acuity and mental development in infants.
  • Lower blood cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of atherosclerosis and heart attack.
  • It plays a role in the transport of fats, and the formation of anti-inflammatory prostaglandins, and their beneficial effects on the immune system are also known. And are involved in the structure of the nervous system and cell membranes.
  • Recent research has shown that children consuming omega-3 fatty acids regularly have improved their task-solving and problem-solving skills to understand tasks faster and improve school performance. Achieving optimal intake by children up to 14 is extremely important, as children’s brains develop to the greatest extent by the time they reach this age.
  • Omega 3 prevents the development of kidney stones

  •  relieves migraine symptoms.
  •  has the potential to relieve the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis.
  •  is commonly used in the development of Parkinson’s disease.
  •  is used for schizophrenia.
  •  may be suitable for recovery from spinal cord injuries.
  •  alleviates the toxic effects of mental stress.
Respiratory system
  • may be useful in the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARSD).
