Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids are a special category of polyunsaturated fatty acids. They form an integral part of bodily cell membranes and are an important precursor of eicosanoids, in turn regulating many important bodily functions, such as brain and heart function.
The EFSA has approved the following statements:
DHA and EPA contribute to:
- normal heart function
- the maintenance of normal brain function
- the maintenance of normal vision
Vitamin D & Vitamin K2
Vitamin D and vitamin K2 are cofactors in the regulation of calcium metabolism. If a vitamin K2 deficiency exists while taking vitamin D3, there is a risk of excessive calcium storage in vessels and organs (risk of calcification, arteriosclerosis, kidney stones, etc.). Our vitamin D3 and K2 MK-7 combines the two nutrients in a ratio that ensures an optimal interaction.
Currently, almost all authorities do not consider vitamin K2 separately, but all K vitamins together. Accordingly, the statements released for vitamin K1 currently apply to vitamin K2.
Vitamin D contributes to:
- normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus
- normal calcium levels in the blood
- the maintenance of bones
- the maintenance of normal muscle function
- the maintenance of healthy teeth
- normal function of the immune system
- cell division
Vitamin K contributes to:
- normal blood clotting
- the maintenance of healthy bones.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a complex of eight different compounds, containing four tocopherols and four tocotrienols, each with the prefix alpha, beta, gamma or delta and with their own specific properties. All components of vitamin E work synergistically.
The EFSA has approved the following statements:
- Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
