NUA'S OMEGA-3 NUADHA RANGE NUAEPA RANGE OTHER INFORMATION

HIGHLY PURE OMEGA-3 OILS

In NUA, the original fish oil is ‘cleaned’ from virtually all non-omega-3 fats, as they are of no interest to humans (ie. cholesterol, saturated fats etc.). By doing so, we obtain an oil which is very rich in EPA and DHA.

NuaEPA®1200 (min. 93% omega-3 per softgel)

NuaDHA®1000 (min. 90% omega-3 per softgel)

NUA was the first brand to separate DHA and EPA in different softgels

Contrary to what many people believe, it is not necessary to always take DHA and EPA together in the same softgel or at specific ratios. Each fatty acid has its unique properties and, depending on the needs, one can take just EPA, just DHA or both.

Therefore, we have separated DHA and EPA from the concentrated oil, and two different products have been obtained: NuaDHA® (only DHA) and NuaEPA® (only EPA).

By separating DHA and EPA in different softgels, we can provide ‘tailor made’ solutions to meet the specific needs of each individual.

NuaDHA® and NuaEPA® offer the highest concentration of DHA and EPA per Softgel ( 1 softgel NuaDHA® 1000 = 3,5,10,15, 20 or more softgels of other omega-3 products).

PURITY + CONCENTRATION = EFFECTIVE DOSE

Based on most recent research, the maximum potential of DHA and EPA is expressed at doses of 1,000 mg or more a day (ie. 2,000 mg-3,000 mg). With NuaDHA® and NuaEPA® it is possible to achieve effective omega-3 doses with just 1 or 2 softgels/day.

PREGNANCY

DHA is an essential nutrient to support the development of the foetus brain and visual system. NuaDHA®400 (1/day during 6 months and 2/day last quarter of pregnancy) is a format that can be taken in addition to the prenatal supplement recommended by the doctor, which will probably have some DHA (generally a low dose); alternatively, NuaDHA®1000 could be taken instead (1/day throughout pregnancy). Mother’s recovery after childbirth: often the mother’s DHA levels are greatly reduced after pregnancy and this can contribute to postpartum depression. Therefore, taking NuaDHA®1000 (1/day for 3 months) will help recover the mother’s DHA and reduce the chances of having postpartum depression. Breastfeeding: the mother passes on to the baby through the milk, the DHA that she may be taking, so it is important that the mother takes enough DHA (1 NuaDHA®1000/day), and thus continue supporting the brain and visual development of the baby. Artificial breastfeeding: DHA is essential after birth to consolidate a good brain development, which is why DHA can also be added to the bottle (e.g. 1-2 NuaDHA®1000/week; cut the tip of the Softgel and mix the oil with bottle, pure or similar).

CHILDREN

Nutritional dose in young children (> 6 months and older): it is important to maintain a nutritional dose of DHA during childhood, since the brain finalises its growth by the age of 6 years (1-2 NuaDHA®1000/week). An optimal cognitive development will contribute to a better quality of attention/concentration at school age, hence the importance of providing nutrients such as DHA, capable of guaranteeing normal brain development. Children over 3 years old can take the chewable lemon format if they do not know how to swallow (3-5 NuaDHA®500/week) or alternatively, take (NuaDHA®400 (3-5/week) or (NuaDHA®1000 (2/week). Children with learning and/or behaviour problems (6yrs-10yrs): in these cases, it is essential to reinforce the diet with DHA to reinforce cognitive function ((1 NuaDHA®1000 or (2 NuaDHA®500).

BRAIN

Adolescents & adults: DHA is a support nutrient equally necessary in adolescents and adults, since in our diet, it is only present in oily fish and deficiency states can occur very easily. In these cases, we would recommend NuaDHA®400 (1/day) or NuaDHA®1000 (3/week). Support concentration & attention in adolescents(>11 yrs.)& adults: if you wish to reinforce cognitive and learning processes, it is preferable to take NuaDHA®1000 (2/day and after 2 months, alternate 2-1-2-1…). Adults with neurodegenerative disorders: DHA offers great support in disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, etc. (2 NuaDHA®1000/day). Brain trauma: after a blow, accident, concussion… EPA together with DHA will help a faster recovery (2 NuaDHA®1000/day & 2 NuaEPA®1200/day in different meals).

VISION

DHA in visual health:: DHA is essential for the proper functioning of visual cells (photoreceptors). It is not surprising since 50% of the fatty content of the macula (central region of the retina) responsible for the sharpness of our sight, is DHA. Therefore, an appropriate supply of DHA will positively contribute to maintaining a normal vision. On the other hand, in addition to the retina, DHA is an important nutrient for the ocular surface, where other types of disorders can also occur (dry eye, ulcers, herpes…). In case of alterations in either the front or back area of the eye, the recommended dose would be 2 NuaDHA®1000/day for 2 months followed by a maintenance dose (alternate by days 2 and 1 softgels).

DHA & SPORTS

Many sports, require concentration, mental speed, and visual acuity (e.g. E-gammers, chess, pistol/bow shooting, etc.), and therefore, given the importance of DHA for the brain and visual system, it constitutes an essential nutrient for the optimal performance of these sports. NuaDHA®1000 (90 softgels) (take 2/day) has obtained the NSF CERTIFIED FOR SPORT certification, which certifies the absence of 274 prohibited doping substances.

DHA & CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH

Numerous studies support the importance of omega-3s as support for cardiovascular health (e.g. REDUCE-IT, JELIS, DART, GISSI studies…). In this sense, both EPA and DHA promote cardiovascular health, although each fatty acid does so by following different mechanisms of action. DHA helps maintain normal blood triglyceride levels, normal blood pressure and, together with EPA, contributes to normal heart function (NuaDHA®1000).

CARDIOVASCULAR SUPPORT

EPA, together with DHA, contributes to the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels, as well as the normal functioning of the heart (+ 2g/day). Specifically, EPA has received significant media attention following the results of important studies that have highlighted its relevance in supporting cardiovascular health (e.g. JELIS and REDUCE-IT studies). Also, EPA stabilizes atheroma plaques and even reduces their size, besides having antioxidant properties. In addition, EPA can moderately reduce LDL cholesterol.
A daily dose of 1 NuaEPA® 1200/day, will offer an ideal cardiovascular support to any adult. Up to 2 NuaEPA® 1200/day can be taken for a stronger support. It is important to pay attention to cardiovascular health in women, especially after menopause, due to the loss of the cardiovascular protection that occurs with the decrease in estrogens. For this reason, EPA is an important support nutrient in this phase of their life.
IMPORTANT NOTE: people who are under anticoagulant therapy, should be cautious with the use high doses of EPA (e.g. 2.5-3 g of EPA/day).

JOINT & MUSCULAR SUPPORT

The muscle and joint tear and wear associated with time results in musculoskeletal alterations that affect the quality of life of many adults (e.g. arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, etc.). In such situations, diet plays a fundamental role, since the abuse of certain omega-6 fats present in dairy products, meats, processed foods, sausages, etc. (such as arachidonic acid) often generates an imbalance that favours the generation of a microinflammatory environment in the body. This situation, is an obstacle for a proper recovery and EPA can successfully counteract this imbalance in our diet (1-2 NuaEPA®1200/day).

EPA & SPORTS

During sports practice and intense physical activity, the high stress to which the muscles and joints are subjected results in ‘microinflammations’ or silent inflammations. As previously indicated, EPA is a nutrient capable of providing a nutritional balance of fats in our diet, capable of counteracting this inflammatory background and thus provide greater well-being to athletes (2 NuaEPA®1200/day). NuaEPA®1200 (90 softgels) has obtained the NSF CERTIFIED FOR SPORT certification, which certifies the absence of 274 prohibited doping substances.

Other information

NUA’s oils have a maximum bioavailability (‘triglyceride’ form)

The oils used by many omega-3 brands, have an alcohol base called ethyl-ester (EE). On the contrary, NUA’s omega-3 oils are based on a format known as ‘triglyceride’ (TG). The TG format is approx.30-40% more bioavailable than the EE version, as our body struggles to recognize and ‘digest’ the latter. This explains why omega-3 products based on the EE format are cheaper (and also less effective).

All NUA’s omega-3 products are under a `triglyceride’ format, one of the most bioavailable sources of marine omega-3.

NUA’s oils have no fish protein

As a result of the high purity of NUA’s oils, there is no fish
protein. This means that people allergic to fish can take NUA’s oils with no
adverse reactions.

NUA´s oils extraction method: mild & environmentally friendly

The extraction and purification process used in NUA’s omega-3 oils:

Does not generate thermal stress to the oil, because there is no aggressive distillation and therefore, unwanted isomers are not generated.
Protects the oil against the attack of microorganisms.
Works under very mild pressure and temperature conditions, without damaging the oil at any time.
Prevents isomerization and oxidation of the oil.
Is environmentally friendly, as no toxic waste is generated.
