Nawo Foods Omega 3-6-9 is a dietary supplement containing a set of unsaturated fatty acids omega 3-6-9 in precisely selected doses, providing the best benefits for your organism. The preparation positively influences the whole organism and demonstrates multi-level effect – it helps to maintain homeostasis, protects from brain-vessel disorders, lowers the risk of cancer development and also takes care of maintaining proper skin functions.

The supplement ensures optimal concentration of fatty acids in the organism, contains valuable, natural seed oils: flax, oenothera, linseed, black currant and pumpkin seed oil. All the oils used in the preparation underwent the process of cold pressing, thanks to which they preserved their quality, nutritious value and constitute a perfect source of omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids.

Omega 3 and 6 belong to unsaturated essential fatty acids (EFAs). They are polyunsaturated acids. Unfortunately, these substances are not synthesized by the human organism, therefore, in order to maintain proper processes of many key transformations in the organism, we need to take care of providing them from outside.

Omega-9 is a monounsaturated fatty acid, which is also classified to EFAs, but constitutes an exception – there is a possibility of synthesizing it in the organism, but with age or as a result of liver disorders this possibility is reduced and therefore it is also important to remember about its proper supply.

Omega-3 fatty acids include α-linoleic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), while omega-6 fatty acids are linoleic acid (LA) and arachidonic acid (AA). The representative of omega-9 fatty acids is oleic acid.

Consequences of EFAs deficits
Numerous research proved that insufficient amount of EFAs in the organism is related to the risk of the occurrence of many physiological dysfunctions. The deficit of unsaturated fatty acids may be the cause of, i.a. increased susceptibility to infections, arterial hypertension, deterioration of the efficiency of the circulatory system, skin changes and also the decrease of mental functions and neurodegenerative disorders.

For EFAs deficits mostly responsible are inappropriate eating habits (low intake of oily sea fish and vegetable oils) and also disorders on the enzymatic level, which may be caused by such factors as: age, alcohol, nicotine, stress, vitamin and mineral ingredients deficits, excessive exposition to UV radiation and frequent infections.

Positive influence on skin
Essential unsaturated fatty acids play an important role in maintaining proper skin condition and support its regeneration. They are responsible for, among others, lipid balance of epidermis, sebum secretion and intercellular cement structure. These substances strengthen defense barrier of skin and counteract excessive water loss.

Their deficit leads to disorders of epidermis keratinization, which manifest themselves in dry skin and excessive exfoliation of epidermis. Moreover, it negatively affects the state of hair and skin – increases their brittleness. Currently, EFAs deficit is considered to be one of the main causes of psoriasis and also it may appear in the process of other dermatoses (e.g. atopic dermatitis, acne).

Improvement of cognitive functions
Unsaturated fatty acids play an incredibly important function in counteracting the ailments of the nervous system, among others because of the fact that they are the components of mucous membranes and improve brain blood supply. It has been observed that these substances positively influence the functioning of the central nervous system, decrease depression symptoms, increase well-being and cognitive efficiency. Scientific research confirmed that fatty acids and especially omega-3 fatty acids may slow down the intensity of symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Cardiovascular system protection
Unsaturated fatty acids are incredibly vital in cardiovascular system diseases prophylaxis. These substances have the ability to decrease blood pressure among people with hypertension, stabilize cholesterol level, decrease the level of triglycerides, improve heart work and also have antithrombotic effect. Research showed that these substances lower the risk of arrhythmia and strokes in the brain, reduce the risk of developing ischemic heart disease and contribute to reducing mortality due to heart attacks.

Anticancer properties
EFAs from the omega-3 raw inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and demonstrate protective effect among others in breast cancer or colon cancer. These substances inhibit the process of carcinogenesis and lead to apoptosis of cancer cells. Moreover, it has been observed that they may counteract developing metastases and also reduce the number of after-surgery infectious complications.
