Omega-3 Uncovered: Discover Its Benefits, Advantages, and Sources!

Are you aware of the numerous health benefits of Omega-3? Are you considering adding Omega-3 to your diet but are unsure of its sources? Perhaps you're wondering if fish oil is an effective source of Omega-3. These are common queries we often encounter from our customers. Let Boncha Bio demystify Omega-3 for you in just three minutes! We'll help you comprehend what Omega-3 is, its benefits, and how to obtain it.

 

Understanding Omega-3

Omega-3, a type of unsaturated fatty acid, is abundantly found in fish, shellfish, and algae. Present in a liquid state at room temperature, and it is needed by our bodies at every stage of life to maintain optimal health. Omega-3 supports anti-inflammation, immunity, heart health, brain development, and prenatal and postnatal supplementation. If these health needs resonate with you, we advise seeking professional guidance on starting a supplement regimen.

 

Deciphering the Differences: Omega-3、6、9

Omega-3, 6, and 9 each possess distinct characteristics. So, which one should you supplement? The best approach is to assess your health needs and daily dietary intake. Omega-3 and 6 are unsaturated fatty acids that the body cannot produce independently—they must be obtained through diet. In contrast, the body can synthesize Omega-9. Each of these beneficial nutrients contributes to overall health. Let's delve a bit deeper.

 

Omega-3 

Omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, are primarily sourced from deep-sea fish. EPA aids in smooth circulation, while DHA maintains clear brain circuitry. ALA, primarily sourced from plants, has a lower conversion rate but still plays a vital role.
 

Omega-6 

The key difference between Omega-3 and Omega-6 lies in their sources. Omega-6, typically found in plant oils like corn, soy, and sunflower seed oil, primarily supports heart health. The recommended intake ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 is 1:1.

Omega-9 

Omega-9 is the only Omega that the body can synthesize. It can simultaneously increase good cholesterol while reducing bad cholesterol. Moderate intake can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

 

 

The Benefits of Omega-3 

Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids, including EPA, DHA, and ALA, are key human brain and retina components. They play a crucial role in brain cognition and vision development. Insufficient Omega-3 intake can lead to fatigue, poor memory, vision decline, dry skin, heart issues, emotional fluctuations, depression, and poor blood circulation. During pregnancy, insufficient Omega-3 intake can expose babies to risks in vision and nervous system development!

The benefits of Omega-3, moderate and regular intake can improve the following health conditions:

1. Heart health
2. Eye health
3. Skin health
4. Bone health
5. Arthritis health
6. Maternal health
7. Baby's vision and hand-eye coordination
8. Liver fat
9. Depression
10. Attention and hyperactivity
11. Memory
12. Immunity

Food Sources of Omega-3 

Fatty and deep-sea fishes like salmon, mackerel, and saury are natural food sources rich in DHA and EPA (as shown in the Omega content table). However, with today's working population's hectic lifestyles and reliance on eating out, dietary imbalances are prevalent. As such, nutritional supplements have become a popular source of Omega-3.

Omega-3 for Those Who Don't Like Fish and Vegetarians

How can people who dislike fish get their Omega-3? We recommend supplementing with Omega-3 dietary supplements, such as fish oil. Vegetarians and seafood avoiders can also opt for Omega-3 sources like walnuts, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and more. Algae oil dietary supplements are also a popular intake source among vegetarians.
