Our DHA molecule
All our products are based on our DHA molecule, Tridocosahexaenoin-AOX®, the result of more than 10 years of research with the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Barcelona.
Its characteristics are:
- DHA triglyceride concentrated at 70%, from fish oil, the most physiological form of DHA.
- Enzymatic Synthesis, we do not heat or subject the oil to extreme pH, preserving its bioactivity.
- High proportion of DHA in the SN-2 position of the triglyceride, which facilitates its incorporation as a phospholipid into the cell membrane, guaranteeing maximum bioavailability.
- Exhaustive control of environmental contaminants, well below the maximum limits allowed by European legislation and GOED (Global Organization for EPA and DHA), guaranteeing contaminant-free DHA. Analytical Certificates are available upon request.
- Our DHA holds the international "Friend of the Sea" seal, which guarantees that it has been obtained from fish oil from controlled fishing, known as "Sustainable Oil".
Omega-3
We obtain DHA triglycerides derived from fish oil
Essential fatty acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6) are vital for health because our body cannot produce them, and we must obtain them externally through diet. For the optimal functioning of many tissues in our body, such as the brain (which is composed of approximately 60% lipids and has a very high energy consumption rate), we need essential fatty acids. Of these, the most crucial are Omega-3s.
Various basic, clinical, and epidemiological studies have reported significant advantages in the intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in fields as diverse as cardiology, neurology, oncology, chronic inflammatory pathologies, ophthalmology, pediatrics, gynecology, dermatology, and more.
Both EPA and its derivative DHA can be synthesized by our body from alpha-linolenic acid, but the conversion efficiency is so low that an additional nutritional intake of preformed acids is required to meet our needs.
However, DHA is the vital Omega-3 fatty acid for our body. It is much more effective to supply preformed DHA directly through the diet than to administer its precursors ALA and EPA, as our body synthesizes DHA from them very inefficiently.
The most important Omega-3 fatty acids are found in:
- Alpha-linolenic (ALA): Walnuts, canola oil, and green leafy vegetables.
- Eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic (DHA): Oily fish—such as tuna, salmon, and sardines—or shellfish and algae.
