SIMKA EFA - LIQUID

SIMKA Alpha Omega-3 is formulated with 99% Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). DHA is the most important polyunsaturated fatty acid and is vital for:

• BRAIN FUNCTION

• NERVOUS SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT

• REDUCING RISK FOR HEART DISEASE

• IMPROVING MEMORY

• BOOSTING IMMUNITY

• SUPPORTING SKIN HEALTH AND FUNCTION

WHAT IS MICRO ALGAE OIL?

The micro algae oil is produced from a strain of Schizochytrium sp., which synthesises the Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, naturally. The origin of EPA/DHA in aquatic ecosystems is derived from algae. Via our water extraction process, it is cultured free of environmental exposures in pure water, in quality controlled indoor tanks. Our golden oil is cultured without exposure to marine organisms or environments, and is grown pure without any contaminants.

WHY DO WE NEED OMEGA-3 DHA?

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid Omega-3, and a building block of cell membranes in human nerves, brain tissue, eyes, and skin. DHA offers the most direct source of Omega-3 as it comprises over 90% of the Omega-3 fatty acids in your brain and up to 25% of its total lipid content. While it can be synthesised from alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based Omega-3 fatty acid, this process is very inefficient.

DO WE REQUIRE AN EQUAL RATIO OF EPA & DHA?

High EPA is unnecessary due to the fact that DHA can be converted to EPA by the body when it is required. According to research, EPA levels rise with DHA dosing, though notably, DHA levels never rise with EPA dosing. DHA is particularly prevalent in the brain and can be retro-converted to EPA, serving as a generator of EPA.

DOES SIMKA ALPHA OMEGA-3 SUPPORT BRAIN AND HEART HEALTH?
With SIMKA Alpha Omega-3 you can feel confident you are getting the right Omega’s to support memory, focus, attention,

blood pressure, triglyceride and HDL levels.*

Cognitive Benefits:

· DHA only (not EPA or ALA) is associated with a reduced risk to the onset of Alzheimer’s/Dementia and cognitive decline*

· No other fatty acid can substitute for DHA for this benefit* · DHA supports normal cognitive function throughout life* · DHA is necessary in nerve cells for optimal structure

and function*

Cardiovascular Benefits:

· Decrease triglyceride levels*
· Decrease growth rate of plaque in the arteries* · Lower blood pressure*
· Increase HDL levels (the “good” cholesterol)*
· Decrease risk of sudden cardiac death*
· Decrease heart rate*

IS SIMKA ALPHA OMEGA-3 SAFE TO TAKE DURING PREGNANCY?

Yes, it’s safe during pregnancy, in fact, it is essential! During pregnancy, it is vital for the healthy development of the brain, heart and eyes of your baby.

CAN VEGANS OR VEGETARIANS TAKE SIMKA ALPHA-OMEGA 3?

As a true alternative to fish oil Omega-3, DHA is becoming more appreciated by vegans, vegetarians and people who don’t like fish oil, and those who are allergic to fish. The DHA-rich oil used in SIMKA Alpha Omega-3 is grown from a non- genetically modified microalgae and is a safe, edible strain occurring in the food chain of fish, only cultured and harvested sustainably for the pure golden oil.
