Omega-3 fatty acids
The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA (eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid) are to be regarded as essential fatty acids, because it has been found that the body cannot create these sufficiently.
EPA and DHA contribute to the normal functioning of the heart. DHA also contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and normal brain function.
OUD-BEIJERLAND – Calanus oil is a new and special form of omega-3 fatty acids and is only recently available as a dietary supplement.
Calanus oil is obtained from Calanus finmarchicus (zooplankton) from the clean waters of the Northern Atlantic. This oil is special because the omega-3 fatty acids are in the form of wax esters and because of its red colour.
Calanus oil has long been used as a food source in Atlantic salmon farming. For the first time, this special oil is now available in the United Kingdom as an active ingredient in a dietary supplement.
