Omega-3 capsules – (70% triglycerides)

High-quality omega-3 fish oil in capsule form

Are you looking for a high-quality omega-3 supplement to support your active lifestyle? Edubily’s omega-3 capsules provide you with highly concentrated omega-3 oil containing 70% triglycerides, perfectly balanced in a 2:1 ratio (EPA:DHA). Thanks to the bioavailable triglyceride form, your body can optimally absorb and utilize these valuable fatty acids. The oil comes in small capsules that are easy to swallow.

Why is omega-3 so important for your health?

It has been known for many years that omega-3 fatty acids are essential for the body and must therefore be obtained through diet.

The following health claims are authorized for omega-3 fatty acids: 

• DHA helps maintain normal brain function
• DHA helps maintain normal vision
• DHA and EPA help maintain normal blood pressure
• EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function
• DHA and EPA help maintain normal triglyceride levels in the blood

The question of the optimal daily intake of these fatty acids remains a subject of intense scientific debate. One thing is certain, however: with an average intake of about 50–200 mg per day, intake in our part of the world is insufficient. Worldwide, many people’s intake is even below 100 mg of DHA per day. Research findings—including those from Prof. William Harris, one of the leading experts in the field and co-developer of the Omega-3 Index—suggest that 1–2 g daily could be a reasonable target.

The Role of DHA and EPA – the Regulatory Messengers of Omega-3

Since the human body cannot produce these essential fatty acids on its own, they must be obtained through diet. It was originally concluded from animal studies that the plant-based omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid is sufficient. However, the situation is different—and significantly more complex—in humans:

In order for omega-3 fatty acids to perform their important functions in the body, alpha-linolenic acid must first be elongated by the enzyme elongase and then have additional double bonds added by desaturase. Only then are the bioactive forms DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) produced. Since this conversion process is inefficient in the human body, only a small proportion of alpha-linolenic acid is converted into DHA and EPA. An omega-3 intake from plant sources (apart from some algae) is therefore insufficient.

DHA and EPA, which are already bioactive, are found almost exclusively in marine organisms and certain microalgae. However, since seafood is not widely consumed in Western cultures, taking omega-3 supplements makes sense.

Ensuring that the body receives sufficient amounts of DHA and EPA should not be overlooked, as these fatty acids serve as precursors for docosanoids and eicosanoids—essential signaling molecules that regulate numerous physiological processes—and thus play a central role in the body. These regulatory messenger substances act, among other things, as antagonists to pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids such as arachidonic acid and help influence inflammatory processes.

Frequently asked questions and answers from Edubily

Why have prices gone up?

The fishing season was affected by the El Niño climate phenomenon, which severely limited the availability of omega-3 raw materials. This led to higher crude oil prices and supply shortages.

What is the difference between triglycerides and ethyl esters?

In our capsules, we use exclusively the naturally occurring triglyceride form (TG for short). In this form, the fatty acids EPA and DHA consist of three fatty acid molecules bound to a glycerol molecule. As a result, their bioavailability is higher than that of ethyl esters, and they are more easily absorbed by the body.

What is DHA?

DHA is one of the three omega-3 fatty acids. It plays a key role in brain function (cognitive performance, concentration, and memory).

What is EPA?

EPA is also one of the three omega-3 fatty acids. It is particularly important for normal heart function.

What is the capsule shell made of?

The capsule shell is made of bovine gelatin.

Is this omega-3 supplement vegetarian/vegan?

No, it is derived from fish oil, and the capsule shell contains gelatin.

Is the product lactose- and gluten-free?

Yes, the capsules are lactose- and gluten-free.

Who are the omega-3 capsules suitable for?

They are ideal for anyone who eats little or no fish or has an increased need for omega-3.

Can pregnant and breastfeeding women take the capsules?

Yes, especially if your intake of omega-3 is insufficient. If you have any concerns, you should consult your doctor or midwife.

How can you tell if you have an omega-3 deficiency?
