Omega-3是有益的必需多不饱和脂肪酸，你从来不知道自己需要它。Omega-3脂肪酸并不总是得到应有的赞誉，但这可能是因为它们在很大程度上是预防性的。这意味着它们不会直接修复某些问题，但它们是健康组件，可能有助于防止许多健康状况的发生。它们也是必不可少的，这意味着身体不会自己产生它们。这意味着它只能从食物中获得。
那么欧米茄3到底有什么作用呢？欧米茄3是每个细胞膜（外层）中非常重要的一部分，缺乏它会影响细胞的接收。简而言之，它会影响细胞接收指令以做工作的能力。欧米茄3也是产生许多激素的前体（首先需要）。激素是与细胞的主要通信系统之一。这很重要，因为身体在细胞水平上的许多功能都会受到影响。
由于欧米茄3脂肪酸的基本作用，缺乏欧米茄3会影响包括调节血液凝固，动脉收缩和松弛以及炎症在内的过程。
与激素类似，欧米茄3实际上也与细胞交流。欧米茄3和细胞之间的交流是为了调节遗传功能。欧米茄 3 也被证明有助于预防心脏病和中风，可能有助于控制狼疮、湿疹和类风湿性关节炎，并可能在癌症和其他疾病中发挥保护作用.从理论上讲，这是由于欧米茄3与细胞的联系。
富含欧米茄3的食物是鱼（所有类型），植物油，坚果（尤其是核桃），亚麻籽和亚麻籽油。欧米茄 3 有几种不同的形式，您通常会在鱼类/海鲜中找到二十碳五烯酸 （EPA） 和二十二碳六烯酸 （DHA）。α-亚麻酸（ALA）可以在植物油和亚麻籽中找到。 纯益生菌是EPA和DHA形式的欧米茄3的良好混合物。我们的益生菌配方中EPA：DHA的比例为2：1，因为它已被证明在减少炎症风险因素方面更有效。
Omega-3’s are that beneficial essential polyunsaturated fatty acid that you never knew you needed. Omega-3 fatty acids don’t always get the credit they deserve, but that may be because they are largely preventative. That means they don’t fix something directly, but they are health components that may help prevent many health conditions from occurring. They are also essential, meaning the body does not produce them by itself. That means that it can only be acquired from food.
So what does omega 3 actually do? Omega 3 is a very important part of every cell's membrane(outer layer) and the lack of it can affect the cells' reception. In short, it can affect the cell's ability to receive instructions to do work. Omega 3’s are also the precursor(needed first) to produce many hormones. Hormones are one of the main communication systems with cells. This is important because many functions of the body at the cellular level can be affected.
Because of the fundamental role of omega 3 fatty acids, lacking omega 3 can affect processes including regulating blood clotting, contraction and relaxation of arteries, and inflammation.
Similar to hormones, omega 3 actually communicates with the cells as well. The communication between omega 3 and your cells is to regulate genetic functions. Omega 3 has also been shown to help prevent heart disease and stroke, may help control lupus, eczema, and rheumatoid arthritis, and may play protective roles in cancer and other conditions. It is theorized that this is due to omega 3’s communication with the cells.
Foods that are high in omega 3 are fish(all types), vegetable oils, nuts (especially walnuts), flax seeds and flaxseed oil. Omega 3 comes in a few different forms, Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) you will typically find in fish/seafood. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) you can find in vegetable oils and flaxseeds.
Pure probiotics is a nice blend of EPA and DHA forms of omega 3. Our probiotics are formulated with a 2:1 EPA:DHA ratio as it has been shown to be more effective at reducing inflammatory risk factors.
