Tri-3D Omega: Support for Heart, Brain, and Bone Health with Vitamin D-3 and Omega-3 Fatty Acids

 

 

Tri-3D Omega by Now Foods is a high-quality dietary supplement that combines the benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids with Vitamin D-3. This product has been formulated to provide optimal nutritional support for heart, brain, and bone health. Tri-3D Omega contains natural ingredients, including a fish oil concentrate and Vitamin D-3 (cholecalciferol) obtained from lanolin.
 

Vitamin D-3 is essential for maintaining bone and immune system health, as it is involved in calcium absorption and maintaining adequate levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. In Tri-3D Omega, Vitamin D-3 is present in a dosage of 25 mcg (1,000 IU), which represents 125% of the recommended daily value, thus providing a significant contribution to the daily need for vitamin D.
 

In addition, the natural fish oil concentrate present in Tri-3D Omega contains 1 g (1,000 mg) of Omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids are known for their cardiovascular and brain health benefits. Omega-3 includes polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). In this product, EPA is present in a quantity of 330 mg, and DHA in 220 mg.
 

The triglyceride form of Omega-3 fish oil differs from "normal" or more common forms of Omega-3, such as ethyl ester or phospholipid forms, in the way the fatty acids are structured and how they are absorbed in the body.
 

1. Chemical Structure:

   • Triglyceride Form: This type of Omega-3 fish oil is structured in a form similar to fats found naturally in foods. In this format, each triglyceride molecule contains a glycerol backbone attached to three fatty acids. This is the form in which most fats are stored and utilized in the human body.
   • Other Forms: Other forms of Omega-3, such as ethyl esters, are created by attaching an Omega-3 fatty acid to an ethanol molecule. This form is less similar to the natural fats in the human body.

2. Absorption and Effectiveness:

   • Triglyceride Form: Omega-3 oils in triglyceride form are believed to be more efficiently absorbed by the body. This is because the triglyceride form is more recognizable and easily processed by the human digestive system.
   • Other Forms: Esterified forms of Omega-3 may require additional conversion processes in the body for efficient absorption, which can result in lower absorption rates compared to the triglyceride form.

3. Purity and Processing:

   • Some Omega-3 fish oils are purified or concentrated to increase the EPA and DHA content. The purification process can transform the oil from its natural triglyceride form into ethyl esters, which are then converted back into triglycerides in some higher-quality products.

4. Stability:

   • Triglyceride-form Omega-3 oils can also be more stable, meaning they are less prone to oxidation and rancidity, thus retaining their effectiveness and benefits for a longer period of time.

 

Tri-3D Omega Benefits

 

• Reduces Triglyceride and LDL Cholesterol Levels:

Omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA, are effective in reducing blood triglyceride levels, which are a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. They can reduce the production of triglycerides in the liver and increase their breakdown.

Omega-3 can also have a moderate effect in lowering LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels, which is another risk factor for heart diseases. Although this effect is not as strong as its effect on triglycerides, it is still beneficial.

 

• Reduces the Risk of Fatal Cardiac Arrhythmias:

Omega-3 fatty acids can help stabilize the membranes of cardiac cells, which can reduce the risk of arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats). Arrhythmias can be fatal, and studies suggest that adequate intake of Omega-3 can reduce this risk, contributing to a more regular and healthy heart rhythm.

 

• Normalizes Slightly Elevated Blood Pressure:

Supplementing with Omega-3 fatty acids can lead to a slight reduction in blood pressure, especially in individuals with mild hypertension. This is possible due to their relaxing effect on blood vessels and improvement in arterial elasticity.

 

• Prevents Atherosclerosis and Vascular Events:

Omega-3 can help prevent the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in arteries, thereby reducing the risk of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerotic plaques can lead to the narrowing and stiffening of arteries, increasing the risk of stroke and heart attack.

Additionally, Omega-3 fatty acids can help maintain the health of the endothelium (the inner lining of blood vessels), which is crucial in preventing plaque and clot formation.

 

• Antiplatelet and Anticoagulant Effects:

Omega-3 fatty acids can reduce platelet aggregation (the tendency of platelets to stick together), which can prevent the formation of blood clots that can block arteries.

They also have an anticoagulant effect, meaning they can prevent or slow down the formation of blood clots. This is beneficial in preventing venous thrombosis and other conditions associated with clot formation.




 

Adjuvant in Various Conditions

 

1. For Heart and Cardiovascular Health:

   • Coenzyme Q10: CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant and plays a vital role in energy production and heart protection. Combining it with Tri-3D Omega can help improve heart function and reduce the risk of heart disease.
   • Magnesium: Magnesium contributes to regulating blood pressure and muscle function, including the heart muscle, making it an essential mineral for cardiovascular health.

2. For Bone Health:

   • CalciumandVitamin K2: These supplements, along with Vitamin D-3 from Tri-3D Omega, can help maintain bone health by improving calcium absorption and preventing artery calcification.
   • Collagen: Collagen helps maintain bone and joint health. Combining it with Omega-3 and Vitamin D-3 can support bone and joint health.

3. For Brain Health and Cognitive Function:

   • Acetyl L-Carnitine: This compound can help improve cognitive function and memory. When combined with Omega-3, it can support neuronal health and optimal brain function.
   • Phosphatidylserine: A compound that supports the cellular membranes of neurons and can improve cognitive function.

4. For Eye Health:

   • LuteinandZeaxanthin: These antioxidants are crucial for protecting the eyes from damage caused by UV light and oxidative stress. Combining them with Omega-3 can provide additional protection for eye health.
