Short description of EPA - DHA - GLA

EPA-DHA-GLA consists of high-quality, high-dose fish and evening primrose oil, which is rich in essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

These high-quality fatty acids are equally important for athletes and health-conscious people and must be consumed with food for a functioning organism.

What can I expect from EPA - DHA - GLA

EPA-DHA-GLA is very useful and valuable for you if you eat little (fatty) fish such as salmon, mackerel or eel. The fatty acids they contain can help maintain normal brain function, vision and heart function.  If you replace saturated fatty acids with polyunsaturated fatty acids in EPA-DHA-GLA, you can help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels.

The overall effects of supplementation with EPA-DHA-GLA on your individual goals (diet, muscle building) depend very much on your training and eating habits and the use of supplementary supplements (protein / protein, BCAAs, diet supplements / stimulants). In addition to the valuable omega fatty acids, you must adapt the amount of all other basic substrates to your individual training or diet goals and, above all, supply them as constantly as possible throughout the day.

Functionality and mode of action of EPA - DHA - GLA

EPA-DHA-GLA consists of high-quality fish oil free of impurities and evening primrose oil. These oils contain the highly concentrated omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) as well as the omega-6 fatty acid gamma linolenic acid (GLA) in bioactive form. These highly functional fatty acids give this supplement its name and cannot be produced endogenously. However, since they are essential for life, they must be ingested in sufficient quantities in the diet for the organism to be able to perform well.

However, modern eating habits and above all the rejection of fish and fish products make it difficult to obtain a sufficient supply of eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid and gamma linolenic acid. In this context, it should also be noted that omega-3 sources are often contaminated (e.g. mercury in high-fat fish) or must first be converted into the more active forms. For example, the omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid abundantly contained in linseed must first be converted into eicosapentaenoic acid.

In sports nutrition, the intake of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid is generally very important. Surprisingly, this also applies to other low-nutrient and/or low-fat diets such as a competitive diet, which is why an adequate supply situation cannot only be relevant due to the health-related aspects mentioned below.

Docosahexaenoic acid has also been shown to contribute to the maintenance of normal brain function* and vision* and, together with eicosapentaenoic acid, contributes to normal heart function**. Overall, EPA-DHA-GLA has such a functionality that all health-conscious people - and above all ambitious athletes - should not do without an adequate supply of these important elements of life.
