Product features Omega 3 RX - Enerzona

Product features: The Omega 3 RX of the power plant is one of the few omega 3 fatty acid supplements whose quality is certified by the IFOS program. The high content of omega 3 - observed around 750 mg per capsule of 1 gram, of which 600 mg between EPA + DHA - the absence of heavy metals (mercury, lead, copper and arsenic) and toxic substances such as dioxins and furani, together with the presence of natural antioxidants and the low level of fatty acid oxidation, make the Omega 3 RX fall into the best possible category of omega 3 (ULTRA REFINED) based supplements.

Another prerogative of this product is the absence of fish flavor, which generally accompanies most supplements of this kind, and which can objectively be measured through a patented analytical technique known as FAST.

The high cost that characterizes this omega three supplement is therefore totally justified by a very high certified quality.

Omega 3 fatty acids - series of polyunsaturated fatty acids characterized by the presence of double bonds, the first of which is present at the level of the third carbon starting from the terminal one. Although this class of lipids includes different types of molecules, the fatty acids that can be attributed a benefit in terms of biological functionality are essentially three:

  1. Alpha linolenic acid (ALA): fatty acid with 18 carbon atoms with 3 double bonds, present in products of vegetable origin such as walnuts (4 nuts are able to provide about 1.8 grams of ALA) and seeds and linseed oil. Alpha linolenic acid is the substrate of the elongase and desaturase enzymes, whose activity is linked to the endogenous synthesis, albeit minimal, of EPA and DHA.
  2. Eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaonic acid (DHA): characterized respectively by a carbon skeleton of 20 and 22 carbon atoms, and by 5 and 6 double bonds. The main food source of these products is given by fish and algae, from which it is generally extracted.

Although the human body is able to provide for the synthesis of these products, the total quota reached is absolutely not able to satisfy the daily request, therefore it is necessary to resort to food intake. It has been estimated that the consumption of 4 portions of fish per week, perhaps alternating with the intake of nuts or other seeds rich in ALA, may be sufficient to satisfy the nutritional needs of even adult individuals, whose daily needs seem to be wandering around around 2 grams.

Omega 3 and wellness

The omega 3 fatty acids have taken on a very important role in maintaining the human well-being condition. In fact, old experimental evidences attributed to these acids (in particular to the fish consumed in the diet) the reason for the low incidence of cardiovascular events in the Eskimo population. Only after a few years of studies and a lot of research, has the biological role of these molecules involved in the:

  1. Improve blood flow and reduce vascular pressure;
  2. Protect the heart from arrhythmias and conduction disorders;
  3. Reduce the secretion of inflammatory cytokines, and protect the body from excessive inflammatory stress;
  4. Preserve and improve neuronal function;
  5. Protect from certain diseases, including tumors (still in the experimental phase).

In reality all these biological effects are not linked exclusively to the intake of omega 3, but to the rebalancing of a very important relationship (omega6 / omega3), definitely unbalanced in the western diet and responsible for the high incidence of cardiovascular diseases.

Omega 3 and sport

Given the importance to human health, and given the physical and psychological stresses to which an athlete, especially if he is an agonist, is subjected, it was decided to experiment with the use of omega three also in sports dietetics, in order to reduce the damage induced by physical exercise and protect the athlete from possible injuries and associated pathologies. It was thus possible to observe how the correct integration with omega 3, is not only crucial for the protective action, but can also guarantee an improvement of some conditions necessary to sustain athletic performance. More precisely, supplementation with omega 3 was useful in:

  1. Reduce inflammatory damage induced by exercise, and prevent functional and structural deterioration of muscles, tendons and ligaments;
  2. Support cardiac function, reduce vascular resistance and improve the hemodynamic capacity of the athlete;
  3. Improve ventilatory capacities and ensure better general oxygenation;
  4. Speed ​​up reaction times and improve the concentration skills of competitive athletes.

Of course, even for athletes it is important to ensure a correct balance between omega3 and omega6, and the greatest daily requirement in absolute value of omega 3 is precisely justified by a relative increase in omega 6, due to particularly rich feeds of products of animal origin and vegetable oils.

Recommended use by the company - Omega 3 RX - Enerzona

Take 2 to 4 capsules per day, corresponding to about 2.5 grams of long chain omega 3 (EPA + DHA)

Use in sports - Omega 3 RX - Enerzona

As suggested by the manufacturer, 2.5 grams per day are the most used and most effective dosage documented by the scientific literature. Naturally, the definition of a "perfect" dosage should first of all include the calculation of omega 6 and omega 3 introduced through the diet, to then go to optimize the quota through integration, in order to maintain a relationship between these two categories between 2: 1 and 6: 1.

The intake of omega-three should be prolonged for at least 4 weeks and preferred during meals, in order to facilitate bile-mediated intestinal absorption.

Synergies - Omega 3 RX - Enerzona

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.

Side effects Omega 3 RX - Enerzona

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 use Omega 3 RX - Enerzona

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.
