Precious nutritional value

The mysterious elixier of life

The "mysterious elixier of life" the Omega-3 fatty acids or the DHA fatty acids belong to the unsaturated fatty acids. Those are essential fatty acids, which means they are not produced by the body itself and therefore must be consumed via nutrition.

The unsaturated fatty acids have shown in various medical examinations to have health promoting factors. Modern science could confirm that eating fish is an essential part of a well-balanced nutrition. The consumptions helps preventing cardiovascular diseases and some kind of cancer.

The long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids only exist in cold water sea fish, wild salmon and plankton. That´s why the salmon is a perfect Omega-3 supplier! The consumed types of fatt varies in saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatt types (Omega or DHA).

The wild salmon from a medical point of view

The polyunsaturated fatty acids Omega-3 oils oder DHA-fatty acids have shown in various medical examinations their health promoting factors via the following mechanisms:

  • The cholesterol lowering effect (LDL-cholesterol, lipoproteins with a low density of triglycerides )
  • They clean nerve tracts and their neuronal junctions (synapses)in the brain and enhance their conductivity- the basis for cognitive abilities and memory  
  • Higher DHA blood levels are significantly correlated with a better mental performance.
  • Omega-3 oils have a range of eicosanoids, that can reduce the risk of a heart attack. Therefore a regular consumtion of fish (one-two times a week) compared to a fish-free diet can be considered to have a real positive impact in preventing cardiovascular diseases.                  
  • Wild salmon is a good supplier of vitamin E, as well as  vitamin C and betacarotin  those belong to the antioxidants which inhibit the development of free radicals and therefore have preventing functions with regard to variuos diseases.
