Super Omega 3-6

Super Omega 3-6, from Vitobest®, is a product made from fish oil (Omega 3) and borage seed oil (Omega 6) of the highest quality on the market. Extracted using advanced technology (molecularly distilled), which precisely eliminates all the toxins that fish oil may present to obtain a cleaner and purer raw material, the Omega 3 used in this formulation is composed of 35% EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 25% DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), providing the fatty acids that our body needs to maintain the normal functioning of the heart, brain, and vision.

For its part, the borage seeds used constitute an exceptional and natural source of Omega 6, providing 20% gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). There are several studies that talk about the superiority of this species compared to others traditionally used as a source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Among the most outstanding aspects are that its mature seed has 25-40% oil with 20-25% GLA and low content in alpha-linolenic and stearidonic acids^1,2,3.

Product claims:

• An intake of 250 mg of eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids contribute to the normal functioning of the heart.
• An intake of 250 mg of docosahexaenoic acid helps to maintain the normal functioning of the brain.
• An intake of 250 mg docosahexaenoic acid contributes to the maintenance of vision under normal conditions.
