Doppelherz® aktiv Pure-3 High Potency Omega-3 Capsules contains omega-3 fatty acids which acts positively on the balance of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. The benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids were discovered among Inuit in Greenland. Even though their diet is unbalanced and fatty, Inuit remain longer healthy while aging. Their predilection food, fish from cold waters, is very rich in Omega-3-fatty acids. The most important representatives of the Omega-3 family are Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Since then, it has been recognized that a regular intake of Omega-3 fatty acids is important for the organism. The Doppelherz® aktiv Pure-3 capsules also contain Folic acid and Vitamins B6 and B12 which collectively contribute to reduce homocysteine levels in blood. This is important to keep healthy blood vessels. These vitamins are also needed for the division and maturation of red blood cells which are responsible for the distribution of oxygen within the organism. Vitamin E participates in cell defense mechanisms against oxidative stress. Omega-3 fatty acids are major actors in health of the heart and of the circulatory system. One capsule contains 1000 mg sea fish, 180 mg EPA and 120 mg DHA, +300 µg folic acid, Vitamin B6, B12 and E.
