Omega – 3 (w-3) and Omega – 6 (w-6) are long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), membrane components of various cells providing structural integrity. These macromolecules help streamline signalling pathways, immune and anti-inflammatory responses and regulate blood and heart vitals, to list a few.
The most widely researched w-3’s are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), whereas the most widely established w-6 is linoleic acid (LA). Both these groups of PUFAs follow a very systematic, interdependent pathway in maintaining the general well being and homoeostasis in the body.
Marine algae
Marine algae oil is derived from Schizochytrium sp., a rich source with high levels of EPA and DHA. Both of these have multiple health benefits including:
Cold pressed linseed oil is a combined source of ALA (w-3) and LA (w-6). Both, ALA and LA are essential fatty acids and are transformed into EPA/DHA and arachidonic acid (AA), respectively. They have multiple biological functions and act as obligatory precursors for molecules in various metabolic pathways.
Antioxidant
Rice bran oil is rich in Gamma Oryzanol, a potent naturally occurring antioxidant in the form of tocopherols and tocotrienols. By preventing skin lipid oxidation and collagen degradation, it helps maintain skin tone and elasticity.
Vitamin A: A fat-soluble powerful antioxidant, it also supports healthy vision, skin, reproductive and immune functions in pets.
Vitamin D3: Sometimes called as sunshine vitamin, Vitamin D3 becomes an important supplement for household pets with limited sunlight exposure. A fat-soluble vitamin, it also promotes bone mineralisation by augmenting the absorption of calcium and phosphorous in order to maintain optimum bone density.
Vitamin E: The most important function of vitamin E is its action as a cellular antioxidant.
