Essential Omega-3 IFOS™ 240 softgel YAMAMOTO

Essential Omega3 IFOS™ is the Yamamoto® Nutrition supplement based on fish oil rich in Omega 3 titrated at 36% EPA and 24% DHA and IFOS™ certified, designed to provide the body with top-quality fatty acids derived from fish oil. Fish oil is rich in essential fatty acids of the Omega-3 series, such as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), essential nutrients to support the heart, joint, brain and eye health .

Omega-3s are polyunsaturated fatty acids , and are defined essential because the body is unable to produce them and therefore we must necessarily take them through our diet (from sources such as fish, seafood, nuts, seeds and supplements).

Omega-3: the benefits

Regular intake of purified fish oil, a source of EPA and DHA, offers several health benefits :

• DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function (the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily dose of 250 mg of DHA) – 2 softgels per day;

• DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal visual function (the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily dose of 250 mg of DHA) – 2 softgels per day;

• EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function (the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily dose of 250 mg of EPA and 250 mg of DHA) – 2 softgels per day;

• EPA and DHA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels (the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily dose of 2 g of EPA and DHA) – 4 softgels per day;

• EPA and DHA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood pressure (the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily dose of 3 g of EPA and DHA) – 5 softgels per day.

Recent studies have shown that a diet rich in Omega-3 is also useful in Counteract the onset of cardiovascular disease . These healthy fats contribute to heart health by reducing certain risk factors, such as high triglyceride levels and blood pressure.

Additionally, taking fish oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) can provide joint support , as these reduce inflammation and joint pain, improving overall joint health, and can also support the skin health , because EPA and DHA can help prevent acne, inflammation, and premature aging.

But what is fish oil? And where is it obtained?

Fish oil is an oil rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids obtained from fatty fish such as sardines, mackerel, and salmon.
Its production process requires two essential steps: extracting the oil from the starting material and purifying it. In addition to omega-3 fatty acids, it contains a variable amount of compounds, such as hydrocarbons, long-chain alcohols, waxes, and esters, which can affect the properties of the fish oil. Purification eliminates all unwanted substances, but must ensure that the desired components are not damaged. The final product is a concentrated source of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, providing high doses of EPA and DHA.

The Role of Omega-3 for Athletes

Even those who regularly exercise are beneficial for supplementing with healthy omega-3 fats: they have a powerful antioxidant effect, counteracting the formation of free radicals, which form in our bodies as a result of cellular metabolism. Furthermore, athletic performance, reaction time, and cognitive abilities, as well as lung function, can benefit from omega-3 intake. Recovery is also influenced by omega-3 intake: one study suggests that omega-3 fatty acids may also be helpful for athletes in recovering better and more quickly from injury.

What does IFOS™ certification mean?

The most famous Quality certification is the one represented by the brand IFOS™** (International Fish Oil Standards). IFOS™ is essentially a testing protocol released by an independent body (Nutrasource Diagnostics Inc.) based at the University of Guelph in Canada, which has the most expensive and advanced technology needed to test the quality of Omega 3s.

Based on the results of the analyses, IFOS™ assigns a quality score to Omega 3 and publishes the results of the tests conducted in its laboratories in its database (consumer reports).
Today there are hundreds of Omega 3 supplements available on the market, but Very few manage to obtain IFOS™ certification . An IFOS™ certified product is therefore a guarantee of absolute quality, at the top of its category.

Obtaining the certification IFOS™ guarantees the highest purity and quality on the market . Launched in 2004, IFOS™ is Nutrasource's most well-known certification, a symbol of transparency and quality throughout the dietary supplement industry. IFOS™ offers companies a way to test (and certify) their products to the highest standards of quality, safety, and purity in the world, and then displays the complete test results online for all consumers to see.

The IFOS™ database is accessible to anyone at any time, so it's always possible to check whether the brand of the supplement we're interested in is present or not, as well as whether the production batch of the Omega 3 package we're about to purchase is directly present.
If the batch is present in the IFOS™ website database, we can be sure we've purchased a pure, uncontaminated supplement, without any risk to our health. All IFOS™ certified products can be viewed here:
