Want to support your body on many levels? Super Strong Omega-3 capsules will take care of your brain, heart, eyesight and proper immunity, but that's not all! The omega-3 fatty acids contained significantly support the functions of many systems and organs so that you can enjoy good health every day. 

Pelagic fish oil is an excellent source of omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids, which include eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The human body is unable to produce them, so we should supply them with our diet. Good sources of EPA and DHA include products such as salmon, trout, cod, herring, mackerel and sardines, but if you do not consume fish twice a week, it is worth considering providing the acids in the form of fish oil. 

DHA acid is part of the structure of the brain, the phospholipids of nerve cell membranes and the retina of the eye. The phospholipids of cell membranes that contain DHA help to maintain proper nerve transmission, which is important, among other things, for maintaining good mood, physical condition or mobilising the body in stressful situations ^[1]. EPA and DHA acids contribute to the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system through positive effects on triglyceride levels, blood pressure, platelet aggregation and endothelial function ^[2]. In addition, they counteract the effects of oxidative stress such as cellular and tissue damage ^[3]. A good example of this effect is the effect of DHA acid on vision, which, as it turns out, not only counteracts damage to the eyes, but also plays an important role in normal, clear vision ^[4]. Insufficient intake of omega-3 fatty acids has been linked to a higher susceptibility to develop allergies ^[5].  Metabolites of EPA and DHA acids (resolvins, protectins) are involved in reducing inflammation by inhibiting the excessive immune response and influencing the reduction of damage to cellular structures ^[6]. Thus, EPA and DHA play an important role in maintaining normal immune function throughout life. In fact, these acids are important for our body from the prenatal period onwards. They support the normal course of pregnancy, the maturation  of the fetal nervous system and the development of cognitive, behavioural, speech and visual functions ^[6]. EPA and DHA acids have a beneficial effect on the intestinal microbiome, which can benefit digestive function, maintenance of normal body weight, immunity and even skin condition ^[7]. It is worth noting that omega-3 fatty acids support neuronal function and cell membrane integrity in the brain, which is important for maintaining psychological health and brain function. If their intake is insufficient, this may contribute to the development of neurodegenerative disorders, especially during ageing, and may also result in mood deterioration ^[8]. Recent reports emphasise the importance of omega-3 fatty acid intake for fertility preservation. Fertility support supplementation may benefit women who are overweight and obese, as well as women trying to get pregnant naturally by increasing the likelihood of conception ^[9,10]. Omega-3 fatty acids can also support male fertility by improving sperm quality and sperm motility ^[11,12].

Super Strong Omega-3 is a dietary supplement in the form of a soft capsule containing a specially formulated concentrate of omega-3 fatty acids obtained from the oil of sustainably caught pelagic fish.

The oil is produced using molecular distillation and formulated in accordance with the GOED (World Organisation EPA and DHA Omega-3) monograph. It contains a high concentration of essential fatty acids (EPA and DHA). One capsule per day provides 1,000 mg of fish oil, including as much as 500 mg of EPA and 250 mg of DHA. This high content of omega-3 fatty acids allows you to take comprehensive care of your body.
