BonusanPrimOmega-3 MSC Complex

EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are omega-3 fatty acids found in oily fish. In this supplement, they are sourced from fish oil from sustainably caught, MSC-certified Alaska pollock.

GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) is an omega-6 fatty acid that occurs in small amounts in plant oils. In this formula, GLA is added via evening primrose oil and borage oil, two natural sources that are rich in this fatty acid.

MSC stands for Marine Stewardship Council, an independent organization that promotes sustainable fishing. Fish oil with an MSC label comes from fisheries that meet strict requirements in terms of sustainability and origin.

Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats. They occur in different forms, such as saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Omega-3, -6, and -9 are polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fatty acids that can be obtained through food or supplements.

Omega-3 fatty acids (such as EPA and DHA) are mainly found in fish and certain algae. Omega-6 fatty acids (such as linoleic acid and GLA) are mainly present in plant oils such as sunflower oil or evening primrose oil. Omega-9 fatty acids (such as oleic acid) are monounsaturated fatty acids commonly found in olive oil. Each type of fatty acid has a different structure and is found in different food sources. These fatty acids are often combined in supplements to provide a broad spectrum.

Taking fatty acids with a meal aligns well with fat intake from food. This makes it practical and easy to incorporate into your daily routine. Additionally, softgels are generally easier to swallow with or after eating.
