Aim AlMega – 120 Gelatin Caps
N$623.00AlMega
AIMega® is a cardiovascular health, dietary supplement that combines organic seed oils and medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) for essential fatty acids that are generally lacking in our diets.
AIMega provides a balanced 2:1 ratio of omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids (EFAs) from organic seed oils. AIM uses cold-pressed virgin oils only because leaving them in their natural form by not exposing the oils to heat retains all of the nutritional value of the seeds.
Every cell, tissue, gland and organ in your body is dependent upon the presence of EFAs. As one of the main structural components of every cell membrane, EFAs are necessary for cell repair, growth and activity.
Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are good fats that we need for healthy living. They are key structural, metabolic and regulatory components of every cell in the body. It is impossible to maintain health without EFAs. They keep our cell membranes flexible and permeable so that nutrients can enter the cell and waste can be eliminated, thereby improving and regulating cellular function.

Crede Natural Oils Organic Flax Seed Oil 1L
N$198.90Flaxseed 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.
