The rTG Omega 3 product which many customers inquired about, has finally come out! This product is made with an extraction method that provides a higher absorption rate by extracting only cleaner and purer omega-3 fatty acids.
What does rTG mean in omega-3?
What does rTG mean in omega-3?
The re-esterified triglyceride (rTG) form of omega-3 is not only better tolerated with fewer gastrointestinal side effects, but it is also better absorbed than the EE form of omega-3.
Is rTG fish oil better?
With one of the highest forms of fish oil: rTG (re-esterified triglyceride) is the gold standard in omega-3 – the most potent, absorbable, and fast-acting form of omega-3, superior to ethyl-ester (EE), and 3.5x more bioavailable than standard triglyceride fish oil.
Omega-3 benefits
Omega-3 fatty acids are incredibly important. They have many powerful health benefits for your body.
*This is the general benefit of omega-3 fatty acids, not of any particular product.
May benefit depression and anxiety
Omega-3 fats are an essential component of the brain and are known to have neuroprotextive and anti-inflammatory effects. Omega-3 supplements may help treat and prevent depression and anxiety. EPA seems to be the most effective at reducing symptoms of depression.
May improve eye health
Omega-3 fats play a role in eye health, including maintaining eye moisture and possibly even tear production. DHA, a type of omega-3, is a major structural component of the retina of your eye. When you don’t get enough DHA, vision problems may arise. Interestingly, getting enough omega-3 is also linked to a reduced risk of macular degeneration, one of the leading causes of permanent eye damage and blindness around the world.
Could support brain health during pregnancy and early life
Getting enough omega-3s during pregnancy and early life is crucial for your child’s development. Omega-3 supplementation is linked to improved cognitive development and a lower risk of developmental delay.
May reduce inflammation
Inflammation is a natural response to infections and damage in your body. Therefore, it is vital for your health. However, inflammation sometimes persists for a long time, even without an infection or injury. This is called chronic inflammation. Long-term inflammation can contribute to almost every chronic illness, including heart disease and cancer. Notably, omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the production of molecules and substances linked to inflammation, such as inflammatory eicosanoids and cytokines.
May improve bone and joint health
Osteoporosis and arthritis are two common disorders that affect your skeletal system. Omega-3s may help improve bone strength by boosting the amount of calcium in your bones.
May improve sleep
Good sleep is one of the foundations of optimal health.
Sleep deprivation has been linked to many diseases, including obesity, diabetes, and depression. Omega3 fatty acids especially DHA may improve the length and quality of your sleep.
Could support skin health
If your body lacks omega-3 fats, one of the first places you may notice it is in your skin. For instance, sensitive, dry skin, or even an unusual increase in acne may be a sign of omega-3 deficiency in some people.
Omega3 fats improve the integrity of skin barriers, preventing the loss of moisture and protecting it from irritants that can lead to dryness and irritation. DHA is a structural component of your skin. It is responsible for the health of cell membranes, which make up a large part of your skin.
EPA also benefits your skin in several ways, including:
- promoting skin hydration
- preventing hyperkeratinization of hair follicles, which appears as the little red bumps often seen on upper arms
- protecting against premature aging of your skin
- reducing the risk of acne
Should Kids Take Omega-3 Supplements?
Omega-3 fatty acids are a crucial component of a healthy diet.
These essential fats are especially important for children, as they play a key role in growth and development and are associated with numerous health benefits. However, many parents are unsure whether omega-3 supplements are necessary or even safe for their children.
There are lots of potential benefits for kids, including supporting brain health, better sleep, and improving ADHD and asthma symptoms.
Dosage for children
Daily needs for omega-3s depend on age and gender. If you’re using supplements, it’s best to follow the instructions on the package. Notably, ALA is the only omega-3 fatty acid with specific dosage guidelines. The recommended daily intakes for ALA in children are:
- 0–12 months: 0.5 grams
- 1–3 years: 0.7 grams
- 4–8 years: 0.9 grams
- Girls 9–13 years: 1.0 grams
- Boys 9–13 years: 1.2 grams
- Girls 14–18 years: 1.1 grams
- Boys 14–18 years: 1.6 grams
Fatty fish, nuts, seeds, and plant oils are all excellent sources of omega-3s that you can easily add to your child’s diet to boost their intake. Your child’s omega-3 needs vary by age and gender. Including omega-3-rich foods in their diet can ensure children are meeting their requirements.
