Product features Omega 3 Isatori

Product features: this omega 3 supplement offers 1 gram capsules titrated to 75%. More precisely, by carefully reading the label, it is noted as 750 mg per capsule, only 600 mg in total are EPA and DHA, still being among the highest dosage commercial supplements. Important is the presence of tocopherols, natural antioxidants able to protect these fatty acids from lipoperoxidation. Although the company supports the very high quality of this supplement, obtained by multiple molecular distillation, IFOS certification is missing.

Omega 3 fatty acids - fatty acids characterized by the presence of more double bonds, the first of which is present on the third carbon starting from the carbon in omega.

Defined as essential, they are taken through fish and through products of vegetable origin, such as nuts, flax seeds and respective oils. Although the dietary quota is the most substantial, the human organism enjoys the biosynthetic path necessary for the synthesis of these compounds, which in any case does not allow reaching levels that satisfy the daily requirement. More precisely, the alpha linolenic acid, fatty acid with 18 carbon atoms and 3 double bonds, is subjected to the enzymatic action of the delta 6 desaturase and of the elongase first, and of the delta 5 desaturase then, which transform it into acid eicosapentaenoico (C: 20: 5), and in docosahexaenoic acid (C 22: 6), substances with marked biological activity. It is precisely on these last two products, very present in fish, that most of the scientific research is concentrated, trying to fully characterize its functionality. According to what emerges from these studies, it seems that the advantages in terms of protection of the cardiovascular risk of the Eskimo population derive precisely from a diet rich in fish, therefore in EPA and DHA. In addition to the cardioprotective effect, recent experimental evidence has also suggested a series of alternative effects, however important for human health:

1. Anifinammatorio effect: evidenced by the significant reduction of inflammatory markers, and by the protective action against associated pathologies; this mechanism could partly be determined by a modulation of the intracellular signal, and partly by the shift of the equilibrium towards the synthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxanes with anti-inflammatory activity;
2. Anti-arrhythmogenic effect: probably associated with the structural role of these substances, which are part of the organization of myocardiocytic membranes;
3. Antidiabetic effect (type I diabetes): to be considered with due care, and probably closely related to the protective effect on inflammatory damage in the pancreas;
4. Protective effect against psychiatric disorders such as depression, probably guaranteed by the protective action against the central nervous system.

Recent evidence has also identified a new therapeutic and commercial application for alpha linolenic acid, determined by the inhibitory action against the enzyme alpha 5 reductase (responsible for testosterone metabolism and its androgenic effects), which can be transformed into a protective action and preventive useful in the treatment of prostatic hypertrophy and androgenetic alopecia.

Omega 3 and sportsman's well-being

As emerges from the reading of the previous paragraph, omega 3 fatty acids play a particularly important role for human health. Of course, many of these effects are perfectly suited to the needs of the sportsman, and are able to minimize some of the most common exercise-induced damage, many times responsible for a significant drop in the performance and performance of the athlete. In particular:

1. The anti-inflammatory action could be useful on the one hand in muscle protection from damage induced by intense physical exercise, on the other hand in the protection of ligament and tendon structures;
2. The antiarrhythmogenic and vasodilatory action has proved to be useful in increasing the cardiac ego and in sustaining the oxygenation capacities of the organism during even intense efforts;
3. The action on the respiratory system would be able to support the athlete's ventilatory capacities.

Of course, it is important to consider how these effects derive from a supplementation protocol that is adequate to the athlete's needs and that is carried out with the intent to optimize the ratio between omega 6 and omega 3, whose imbalance would determine the onset of various disorders.

Suggested use by the company - Omega 3 Isatori

Take 2-4 capsules a day before a meal

Use in sports - Omega 3 Isatori

The ingestion of 4 capsules per day would guarantee the intake of about 2.4 grams between EPA and DHA, a dosage that is perfectly within the range proposed by the various studies, although in some of these we use daily amounts even higher than 6 grams. The intake should be preferred to main meals, thanks to the "bile-mediated" absorption (necessary given the lipid nature). The integration plan should last for at least 4 weeks, as proposed by the studies. In reality the correct integration should take into account the dietary contribution not only of omega 3, but also of omega 6, since - so that supplementation can be effective - it is necessary to rebalance the relationship between these two forms.

Synergies - Omega 3 Isatori

Several studies show a greater efficacy of action associating to the omega 3 antioxidant substances able to assist the protective action on the stability of the plasma membranes.

Furthermore, for supplementation to guarantee the effects described, it is also necessary that the diet follows the general principles of a healthy diet and is accompanied by controlled exercise.

Omega 3 Isatori side effects

Excessive intake of omega 3 can be associated with immediate phenomena such as nausea, vomiting, gastric and erythema burning, and systemic effects of a different nature.

In the literature, cases of bleeding (due to the anticoagulant action of the omega 3) are described; therefore it is necessary to pay attention to possible interactions with aspirin or other anticoagulants, and in the case of haemophilic pathology or alterations of the glycemic profile in patients suffering from non insulin dependent diabetic pathology.

It should be reiterated that the dose between 2 and 5 grams per day seems to be quite safe, and without the aforementioned side effects.

Precautions for using Omega 3 Isatori

The product is contraindicated in cases of renal or hepatic disease, cardiovascular disease and / or hypertension, allergies and autoimmune diseases, during pregnancy, during breastfeeding, under 12 years and for adolescents not yet trained.

In the event of prolonged use (over 6/8 weeks), medical advice is required.
