Natural fish oil with a High Omega-3 content
Omega-3 Fish Oil 1000mg by EssentialSeries is a food supplement in softgels made from clean, high-quality fish oil, with a guaranteed content of omega-3 fatty acids, highly valued for their nutritional properties, especially in the Western diet where their intake is quite deficient compared to the ideal.
How many times have you eaten oily fish in the last week? And seaweed? These two are the main sources of omega-3 fatty acids in the diet, and realistically? In the West, unlike in regions such as Japan where fish consumption is widespread, their intake is not sufficient. Omega-3 food supplements are an excellent way to supplement the diet of people who do not consume large amounts of omega-3-rich foods.
HSN Omega-3 Fish Oil is a food supplement that meets all the necessary specifications of quality, maximum purity, and guaranteed fatty acid content; to be a reference product in the international market.
Authentic quality Omega-3
The quality of the omega-3 fatty acids is important as the oily fish from which the omega-3-rich oil is obtained is very susceptible to contamination, degradation, or inadequate properties, and to ensure this, the companies that sell it must control everything necessary.
At hsn we participate in the whole process, and enjoy a unique development in quality and safety!
Guaranteed content. HSN Omega-3 is measured in mass, not volume
The omega-3 fatty acids are a part of the fish oil contained in the softgels, this is always the case in all products on the market, that is, there is no such thing as a '100% Omega-3' product because it is not possible.
The amount of omega-3 present in fish oil must be measured after processing, which guarantees a certain content, usually, 18% / 12%, which is the most common.
There is a problem with this, and that is that it is confusing:
If I tell you that 18% of the product is EPA, and the softgel has 1000mg of fish oil? How much EPA does it contain? 180mg, right? It should be, but it depends.
Usually, companies state fatty acid percentages based on the volume of the softgel, although this is valid, in our view, it is a complete fraud for the consumer, as it is easily misleading.
When you measure the 18% volumetric content of the softgel, there is not 180mg of EPA, but around 160mg, i.e., it is actually 16% EPA by mass. You think you are consuming more than it actually has and you are paying for it!
At HSN we measure the omega-3s in our products by mass, which is why our 1000mg fish oil omega-3s are authentic 18% EPA / 12% DHA, by mass, meaning each 1000mg softgel provides 180mg EPA and 120mg DHA.
We are completely transparent and offer the best quality on the market at an unbeatable price.
A small, clean, molecularly distilled fish oil
The fish oil that is encapsulated in the softgel has a natural origin, and this is always the case too, but of course... Not all fish oil is the same, that is, it is not the same to obtain fish oil from a sardine as from salmon.
Small fish, such as sardines and anchovies, are ideal sources of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation oils.
This is because other common species such as salmon have a much larger skin surface area and therefore tend to pick up more of the pollutants and metals, such as mercury, to which they are exposed in the sea. Small fish are not subjected to this and therefore, naturally, the purity of their oil is much higher.
In addition, the fish oil from which HSN's omega-3 is made has been molecularly distilled, a special purification process for omega-3s that removes any traces of heavy metals and natural contaminants from the marine environment that may be present in the fish oil from which the food supplement is developed.
Full supply of essential fatty acids, 0% peroxidation due to quality control and antioxidants
The fish, once caught, are steamed to obtain their oil. This is the way we follow at HSN and is the ideal way to ensure that the omega-3 fatty acids are not peroxidised, as the steam does not significantly raise the temperature of the fish fat from which the oil is obtained and therefore does not degrade it.
Likewise, the whole process of treatment and conservation of the oil, as well as the manufacturing of the softgel and its subsequent storage is aimed at guaranteeing the absence of oxidation of the oil and its essential fatty acids.
Not to mention that a significant amount of vitamin E has been added to HSN's product, an antioxidant powerhouse that helps protect cells from oxidative damage. It is this property that also protects the fatty acids in the fish oil softgels from oxygen, light, and oxidation, ensuring their enhanced integrity.
High Unit Dose: 1000mg Fish Oil (180mg EPA / 120mg DHA) per softgel
We have already mentioned the importance of measuring the omega-3s in mass and not in the volume of the softgel, but not only that is important, we must also take into account that the gross amount of encapsulated fish oil per unit is also important.
For example, if the softgels are small and contain 500mg of fish oil (which is often the case), even if the EPA content is a genuine 18%, they will only provide 90mg each, and you will end up using many more softgels daily.
HSN softgels provide 1000mg of real fish oil per unit, a high concentration ideal for convenient food supplementation.
Free of dioxins and derived compounds. Free of anisidine, furans, and PCBs
The purity of the fish oil is established based on its content of contaminants such as dioxins, furans, and PCBs.
Omega-3 fish oil by HSN is free of these and other contaminants naturally present in marine fish from environmental exposure.
It also does not contain anisidine which is a measure of the deterioration of fish oil, and therefore a marker of quality loss.
Free from colourings, flavourings, and preservatives. Natural fish oil and gelatine softgel product
Omega-3 softgels by HSN are free from colourings, preservatives, and flavour masking agents.
They are pure omega-3-rich fish oil softgels with vitamin E. The most natural!
They do not contain unnecessary additives and do not need anything to camouflage their organoleptic properties, because thanks to the quality control of the glazing agent: They are tasteless, odourless, and more comfortable to use.
Fish oil from cold water origin. Better quality and less exposure to contaminants
The cold waters of the Atlantic are the locations where the seawater is purest and cleanest, and therefore where the animals living there are exposed to the least pollution.
The small fish from which the omega-3 oil in our food supplements is made are caught in these carefully selected locations to ensure that the original raw material (the fish) used to make the oil is already of the highest quality.
The properties of Omega-3 will surprise you. discover the importance of these essential fatty acids in your health
Omega-3 Fish Oil 1000mg by HSN is a food supplement with a high Omega-3 content.
The main constituents of this family of fatty acids are:
- Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
- Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).
- Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
- Docosahexaenoic acid helps maintain normal brain function. 1
- Docosahexaenoic acid contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.2
EPA + DHA
- Eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids contribute to normal heart function.3
As you can see, the importance of omega-3 fatty acids is very high, especially for the care of the most sensitive organs of the human body such as the brain, heart and eyes.
Make sure you ensure an adequate intake of omegas with our high-quality food supplement!!
Tips and tricks so that omega-3 does not repeat itself. our softgels have no smell or taste!
A common problem for omega-3 consumers is that these types of food supplements, because they have a high concentration of fish oil, can 'repeat', making your mouth taste fishy after hours of use.
This is common in people who use omega-3s on an empty stomach, and HSN advises against this mode of use, as it is less effective in the first place, and contributes to this undesirable effect of omega-3s.
The best recommendation to avoid these effects is to take the softgels with a meal, preferably a light one, without dairy or leguminous foods that can generate gas and contribute to repeat eating.
