    Aim AlMega – 120 Gelatin Caps

    N$662.00

    AIMega provides heart-healthy, plantbased omega-3 and -6 fatty acids that are essential for the function and structure of cells in all body systems. The most important thing to understand about omega-3 and -6 is that if you are not getting them from your dietary intake, then you are depriving yourself of healthy fats that are absolutely essential for keeping your entire body healthy down to the cellular level. The human body lacks the enzymatic ability to synthesize omega-3 and -6. Taking AIMega daily is a convenient way to maintain a dietary intake of both nutrients.

    Crede Natural Oils Flax Seed Oil 1L

    N$198.90

    Flaxseed oil is one of the richest natural sources of omega-3 essential fatty acids. It also contains lignans, small fibrous particles in the flaxseed shell that have disease-fighting properties. Flaxseed oil is used as a daily nutritional supplement because it is rich in the omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which your body partly converts into EPA and DHA (the two chief omega-3 fatty acids found in marine oils).

    Flaxseed oil has a far higher omega-3 content than other common seed oils: one tablespoon of Credé Flaxseed Oil contains roughly 7,800mg of ALA.

    ALA is an omega-3 essential fatty acid. This means the body needs to get ALA from dietary sources in order to function properly, and cannot make up ALA using other nutrients. Unfortunately, the modern diet contains a lot less ALA than our ancestors’ used to. The “Western” diet contains far fewer nuts, seeds and dark green, leafy vegetables than in earlier times, and omega-3s are easily damaged during heating and other forms of food processing. Because it can be difficult to get sufficient dietary omega-3s, many nutritionists recommend using omega-3 supplements, such as flaxseed oil.
