Fish Oil and Precision Nutrition Supplements

In modern society, fish oil, as a precision nutritional supplement, has attracted more and more attention. Precision nutrition refers to the rapid return to health through reasonable nutritional supplementation in a sub-healthy state.

Why is fish oil necessary?

From a nutritional point of view, Omega-3 fatty acids are essential high-quality fatty acids for the human body. They play an important role in cardiovascular health, brain function, vision development, etc. However, the human body cannot synthesize Omega-3 on its own, so it needs to be obtained through food or supplements.

The numbers game for high-purity fish oil

Definition of Purity

In chemistry, purity refers to the proportion of a particular component in a substance. This can be understood as the absence of impurities. For example, a 99% pure compound means that 99 grams of the desired target compound out of every 100 grams of sample is the remaining 1 gram of impurities. Chemical purity can be determined by analytical techniques such as chromatography, spectroscopy, and titration.

How to calculate purity

The purity calculation formula of Omega-3 is: Omega-3 / deep sea concentrate × 100% . This is different from the commonly misunderstood calculation method (such as (DHA + EPA) / Omega-3 × 100%).

Low-purity fish oil vs. high-purity fish oil

Many people mistakenly believe that taking three low-purity fish oil capsules can achieve the effect of one high-purity fish oil capsule, but this is not the case. The impurities in low-purity fish oil require extra work by the liver and kidneys to excrete, which increases the metabolic burden. Therefore, it is not recommended to use fish oil with a purity of less than 50%.

What kind of fish oil does what?

• Daily health care: 60%-80% purity is sufficient.
• Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protection: It is recommended to use fish oil with a purity of more than 80%.
• Nutritional supplement: In sub-health conditions, choose fish oil with a purity of more than 95% to supplement key nutrients and avoid metabolic burden.

According to the "Chinese Blood Lipid Consensus" and "Fat Research", only high-purity fish oil has clinical effects. WHC has excellent purity in this regard.

Does the source of fish oil matter?

WHC fish oil uses raw materials from fisheries in Peru and Chile, which are safe and nutritious due to the movement of ocean currents. The fish oil in these small fish is purer. In addition, Norway and the North Sea fisheries are also famous for their high-quality catches.

Differences in extraction processes

There are significant differences in the technical steps between the traditional process and the supercritical extraction process. Supercritical extraction can better maintain the purity and active ingredients of fish oil.

Advantages of KD Factory

The KD factory is the second largest Omega-3 factory in the world. It has patents for supercritical extraction technology and pharmaceutical qualifications, ensuring the high quality of its products.
