Are you looking for a way to improve brain function? Or do you want to take care of the proper functioning of your heart or eyes? Omega-3 fatty acids can help you take care of your body comprehensively. Reach for fish oil and see for yourself the benefits you can feel and notice.

Fish oil is a source of omega-3 fatty acids and refers to two types of fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). They are mainly found in fish, and in smaller quantities in other animal products or phytoplankton. They are important for the optimal functioning of individual systems. Omega-3 plays a structural role in the body – it is a component of phospholipids, which form the structures of cell membranes. DHA is found, among others, in the retina and brain. These acids also indirectly affect functions in the cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine and immune systems ^[1].

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) contributes to the maintenance of optimal brain function and also has an impact on normal vision. It is thought that omega-3 fatty acids may protect against neurodegeneration in the elderly and reduce the risk of cognitive decline ^{[1, 2]}. Low intake of these acids may contribute to mood and psychotic disorders, among others ^[9]. Studies have shown that they are a valuable support for the visual organ in people working at a computer. They have a positive effect on the condition of the eyes, helping to reduce dryness ^[3]. It has also been shown that omega-3 intake helps the heart and circulatory system to work properly ^[4]. These acids contribute to lowering triglyceride levels, which may have a role in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease ^[5]. 

Omega-3s are essential fatty acids and must therefore be provided with the diet. They are divided into ALA, i.e. α-linolenic acid (found e.g. in flaxseed oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil and olive oil), and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), whose sources are fatty fish (e.g. salmon, mackerel, tuna, herring and sardines). EPA and DHA are bioactive forms – in order for the body to utilise ALA, it must be converted to EPA and DHA. However, this conversion is limited ^{[1, 10]}. 

Food supplements containing fish oil can be helpful in taking care of the body’s optimal performance.

The Osavi product is a specially formulated omega-3 fatty acid concentrate derived from the oil of pelagic fish (anchovies) from sustainable fisheries in the Pacific Ocean. The supplement is produced and tested according to the GOED (World EPA and DHA Omega-3 Organisation) monograph, and the oil used in its production is certified Friend of the Sea. There are 1,000 mg of purified fish oil per capsule and 2,000 mg of oil in the recommended daily serving (2 capsules), including min. 700 mg of omega-3 fatty acids.The product has a high content of EPA (min. 360 mg) and DHA (min. 240 mg). Omega-3 fish oil 1000 mg is a supplement in soft capsule form providing the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA.

Why would someone benefit from supplementing with Omega-3 fish oil 1000 mg?
– Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and vision. 
– Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) contribute to the normal function of the heart.

New Environmentally Friendly and Responsible Packaging
Caring for the environment and quality, we are gradually introducing new packaging. Instead of the previously used BioPET, we are now using bottles made of rPET (50% recycled plastic) and standard PET – both are fully recyclable.
During the transition period, you may receive the product in different packaging variants, but we always ensure their high quality and safety.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us care for our planet together!
