Omega-3 Form and Function
Triglycerides vs. Ethyl EstersWhile the amount of EPA and DHA provided in an omega-3 product is important for the efficacy, the type of oil delivered is another significant factor in defining effectiveness. The human body is accustomed to absorbing EPA and DHA in the triglyceride form. Even though triglyceride-based oils are the preferred form for superior absorption, the vast majority of omega-3 products available on the market are in the ethyl ester form. While ethyl esters allow manufacturers to achieve higher concentrations of EPA and DHA, their unusual structure is resistant to the digestive enzymes that enable fat breakdown. Orthomega® V comes exclusively in the higher absorption triglyceride form.
Cardiovascular and Blood Sugar HealthOmega-3 fatty acids have long been known to benefit cardiovascular health. Studies have shown that one gram or more per day of omega-3s had a significant impact on cardiometabolic health, including supporting blood pressure levels already within the normal range, modulating levels of fat in the blood and supporting better blood sugar balance.
Additional Benefits of Omega-3 Fatty AcidsIn addition to their well-known cardiovascular benefits, omega-3 fatty acids play a central role in brain development, mood enhancement, improved cognition, joint comfort and visual acuity.
