What are the special features of our EPA - DHA - GLA?

EPA-DHA-GLA consists of high-quality and high-dose fish and evening primrose oil, which are rich in essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

These high-quality fatty acids are equally important for athletes and health-conscious individuals and must be ingested through food for a functioning organism.

What can I expect from EPA - DHA - GLA

EPA-DHA-GLA is very beneficial and valuable for you if you eat little (oily) fish such as salmon, mackerel, or eel. The fatty acids it contains can contribute to maintaining normal brain function, vision, and heart function. Replacing saturated fatty acids with the polyunsaturated fatty acids in EPA-DHA-GLA can help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels.

The overall effects of EPA-DHA-GLA supplementation on your individual goals (diet, muscle building) depend heavily on your training and eating habits and the use of supplements (protein, BCAAs, diet supplements/stimulants). In addition to the valuable omega fatty acids, you must adjust the amount of all other basic substrates to your individual training or diet goals and, above all, maintain a consistent intake throughout the day.

Functionality and mode of action of EPA - DHA - GLA

EPA-DHA-GLA consists of high-quality, impurity-free fish oil and evening primrose oil. These oils contain highly concentrated omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), as well as the omega-6 fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) in bioactive form. These highly functional fatty acids give this supplement its name and cannot be produced endogenously. However, since they are essential for life, they must be ingested in sufficient quantities through food for the body to function properly.

However, modern eating habits, and especially the rejection of fish and fish products, make it difficult to obtain an adequate supply of eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, and gamma-linolenic acid. In this context, it should also be noted that omega-3 sources are often contaminated (e.g., mercury in fatty fish) or must first be converted into the more active forms. For example, the omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid, which is abundant in flaxseed, must first be converted into eicosapentaenoic acid.

In sports nutrition, the intake of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid is generally of great importance. Surprisingly, this also applies to otherwise nutrient- and/or fat-poor diets, such as competition diets, which is why adequate intake may be relevant not only for the health-related aspects mentioned below.

Docosahexaenoic acid has also been shown to contribute to the maintenance of normal brain function* and vision*, and, together with eicosapentaenoic acid, contributes to normal heart function**. Overall, EPA-DHA-GLA has such functionality that all health-conscious individuals—and especially ambitious athletes—should not forego an adequate supply of these important building blocks of life.
