Reviews

Marine Plus Fish Oil Supplements comprise a unique fish oil formula with 65% Omega-3 in the form of free fatty acids for direct absorption in the digestive system. Omega-3 with its content of EPA and DHA is known to contribute to normal functioning of the heart, plus maintenance of normal vision and brain function.

Bio-Marine Plus contains Folic Acid and vitamin B12 – a vitamin combination that contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism and psychological functions. Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid also contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Why are PUFAs vital for your health?

Essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are vital to the normal functioning of the body. Oil sourced from fish contains Omega-3 whereas vegetable oils typically contain Omega-6. Both PUFA types have different metabolic roles in the body.

Fish oils contain approximately 50 different fatty acids and are the main source of the Omega-3 oils eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Both EPA and DHA are forms of Omega-3 that are readily utilized by the body and are associated with a range of health benefits.

Responsible Sourcing

Fish obtain Omega-3 polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) from eating plankton, and the habitat in which the fish grow influences their fatty acid composition. The colder the water they live in, the higher their Omega-3 PUFA content. We use coldwater fish such as salmon and mackerel which provide the highest levels of Omega-3 PUFAs.

What are Omega 3 fatty acids?

Omega 3 fatty acids are a group of essential, polyunsaturated fatty acids that are primarily found in fish, namely oily fish like herring, salmon, and mackerel.

The two most important omega-3 fatty acids are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA and DHA have several positive health benefits. For instance, a 200 mg per day intake of DHA contributes to the normal development of the brain, eyes, and vision of infants and younger children. In adults, 250 mg of DHA each day contributes to maintaining normal brain and heart function. In addition, it supports a normal heart function. The mentioned levels correspond with 2 (200mg) and 3 (250mg) Bio-Fish Oil capsules daily.

Omega-3 fatty acids are important building blocks in all cells and ensure that cell membranes are sufficiently flexible and have the right fluid content, both of which are important for the correct functioning of cells.

What do nutrient units mean?

Relative to the food we eat, the size of individual nutrients are actually incredibly small. As a result, we need to use units other than grammes (g) to describe them. Here’s what the common units for nutrients are:

Grammes (G)- often used to describe nutritional powders. Most teaspoons of powder weigh approximately 5g.

Milligrams (Mg)- 1000mg is equal to 1g

Micrograms (Mcg or μg)- 1000μg is equal to 1mg

International Units (IU)- Slightly more complex than milligrams (mg) and micrograms (μg), International Units measure differently from nutrient to nutrient. The most common nutrients that are likely to be measured in IU are vitamins D, E and A.

Vitamin D: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.025 μg of D2 or D3
Vitamin A: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.3 mcg retinol
Beta-carotene (provitamin A): 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.6 μg of beta carotene
Vitamin E: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.67 mg d-alpha-tocopherol
