Omega DHA Gummy Vitamin is a unique combination of Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9 fatty acids from Chia oil and DHA, an Omega-3 from algae. Omega DHA Gummy Vitamin also contains Vitamin C. Blood concentrations of fatty acids reflect both dietary intake and biological processes. Humans can synthesize longer Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids from the essential fatty acids found in the Omega DHA Gummy.
Omega DHA Gummy specifically supports heart, brain, eye and joint health by lowering cytokine levels, being the building blocks for repair of brain, cell and organelle membranes and supplying DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid), a major component of the retina needed for its repair. DHA accounts for 40% of the polyunsaturated fatty acids in the brain and 60% in the retina. Vitamin C in the Omega DHA Gummy helps block cholesterol oxidation and is the most prevalent water-soluble antioxidant in the blood serum, in the tissues of the eye and in the brain and joints.
The Omega DHA Gummy delivers the Omega-3, alpha linolenic acid and the Omega-6, linoleic acid, which are essential fatty acids that MUST be obtained from the diet. They are a crucial part of human cell membranes. Omega-3 fatty acids help support healthy cholesterol levels, by preventing cholesterol oxidation that leads to fatty artery streaks and restores healthier dietary ratios of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids that lowers the amounts of fat storage in the liver by stimulating beta oxidation of fatty acids.
In terms of joint health, Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids lower cytokines, inhibit catabolic processes and stimulate the anabolic process in the cartilage in the joint. Both Omega-3 and Omega-6’s in the Omega DHA Gummy supply these critically-needed fatty acids.
The DHA in the Omega DHA Gummy is essential for brain development, repair and key brain functions, including memory recall, mental processing and short and long-term memory. DHA helps lower the key biomarkers, including NFkappaB, COX-2, TNF-alpha, and IL-1beta in brain cells, in joints and in the tissues of the eye.
The Omega-6 fatty acid health benefits of the Omega DHA Gummy helps maintain normal total cholesterol levels and including HDL-cholesterol levels. The Chia Seed Oil in the Omega DHA Gummy has a well-balanced 3:1 ratio between its Omega-3 (alpha-linolenic) and Omega 6 (linoleic) fatty acids.
The Omega-9 fatty acid health benefits in the Omega DHA Gummy health includes helping to suppress cytokine levels. Omega-9 is an important component of the Mediterranean diet and is the most prevalent (60%) fatty acid in olive oil. Furthermore, Omega-9 fatty acid increases the liver’s ability to burn its stored fat.
EXTENDED BENEFITS
DHA in the Brain, the Retina and the Joints
The Omega DHA Gummy provides DHA for protection against high levels of biomarkers detrimental to the brain.*2,14 DHA is the major fatty acid in the brain and a structural component of brain cell membranes. Changes in DHA content in membranes lead to changes in the activity of receptors and other proteins associated with brain function. DHA is present in 30-40% of the phospholipids in the gray matter of the cerebral cortex and in the photoreceptor cells in the retina. An age-related decline in DHA
occurs and this negatively affects neurotransmission and vision. DHA is necessary for the proper formation of phospholipids which are an essential component of the cell membranes of the brain, joint components and heart cells.*
Omega-3, 6 and 9 fatty acid levels decline with age in the brain, in the joint synovial fluids and in the cells of the heart. Eliminating DHA from the diet dramatically lowers brain concentrations and produces a range of behavioral abnormalities.*
