CarniOmega - Vital nutrients for the complete body

Omega-3 fatty acids, together with omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, belong to the family of unsaturated fatty acids. These polyunsaturated fatty acids are of crucial importance for the living organism. Omega-6 fatty acids are found, for example, in vegetable oils (maize oil), as well as in meat and animal fat. They not only add shine to the coat, but are also said to have pro-inflammatory properties. Not entirely without reason. The omega-6 fatty acid arachidonic acid is found as a component of the vital phospholipids in the body. It plays an important role in inflammatory processes and the development of pain signals as a precursor of those eicosanoids that intensify these processes. In contrast to omega-6 fatty acids, omega-3 fatty acids inhibit inflammatory processes. And here it is epa, dha and dpa in particular that are important!!

Docosahexaenoic acid, or dha for short, is a polyunsaturated fatty acid. It is one of the omega-3 fatty acids, which also includes eicosapentaenoic acid (epa), as well as docosapentaenoic acid (dpa) and alpha-linolenic acid (ala). Epa/dha/dpa are the omega-3 fatty acids of particularly fatty fish such as sardines, mackerel, anchovies, salmon. The fish absorb the omega-3 fatty acids through their food (microalgae), but can also synthesise them themselves.

Linseed oil (as well as other oils such as chia and perilla oil) are rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ala). Humans and some mammals such as dogs and cats can convert plant alpha-linolenic acid (ala) ingested with food into epa and dha, but this is only possible to a very small extent. In this respect, the intake of epa, dha and dpa from fish oils rich in these fatty acids or the sufficient consumption of fatty fish is an important contribution to health maintenance that cannot be replaced by vegetable oils. The vegetable omega-3 fatty acids (ala) are primarily metabolised for energy production, but they are also built into cell membranes and converted to a small extent to epa and dha, whereby the rate of conversion drops dramatically when there is a high supply of omega-6 fatty acids and also saturated fatty acids, and it is precisely omega-6 fatty acids that are usually found in high concentrations in dog food.

1. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and dha both have a strong anti-inflammatory effect.
2. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) dha is essential for development, growth and structure of the cell membrane and an important component in the central nervous system.
3. DPA (docosapentaenoic acid) dpa has only become the focus of scientific research in recent years and has shown much stronger anti-inflammatory properties than dha and epa.

• - supports the skin's barrier function
• contributes to a healthy cell metabolism
• reduces and controls inflammatory processes effectively helps with eczema and skin diseases
• contributes to healthy and pain-free joints
• strengthens and protects the heart and vascular system, improves blood circulation
• supports the therapy of tumour diseases, cardiovascular diseases, skin diseases, kidney diseases, orthopaedic diseases, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract as well as hyperlipidaemiae
• can be used as an adjunct in the treatment of neurological diseases, asthma and behavioural disorders
• is essential for young growing dogs, sporty active dogs and for your seniors

Due to the very sensitive digestive tract of puppies, polyunsaturated fatty acids should only be fed in large quantities from the 14th week of life. Up to 14 weeks of age, no more than 0.25 ml of omega-3 oil should be given per kg of body weight per day.

Yes, by all means! And this is a very good decision because of the high content of the absolutely natural fatty acids dha and epa, which have a strong anti-inflammatory effect without any side effects!
