There are some nutrients that are particularly important for supplementation due to insufficient intake through normal diet or other factors. Leading the way are the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, as well as vitamins D3 and K2.
To help you meet your daily requirement for the micronutrients vitamin D3, K2, and the polyunsaturated omega-3 fats EPA and DHA, we at MORE NUTRITION provide these nutrients in high-quality form and harmonised dosage with our product ESSENTIALS O3-D3-K2.
ESSENTIALS O3-D3-K2 at a glance:
- High-quality raw materials
- Omega-3 in natural triglyceride form for optimal absorption
- Micro-encapsulated all-trans vitamin K2-MK7
- Ideal for daily intake
- Free from preservatives
Ingredients & Effects: What do the ESSENTIALS Omega-3 capsules do?
Even with a conscious and balanced diet, it is not always possible to optimally cover the need for important nutrients. The supply of these – such as vitamin D3 – also depends on external circumstances, or one would have to consume certain foods in very large quantities to meet the requirements. In the case of omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, that would mean a lot of fatty cold-water fish, preferably from wild catch.
For this reason, we developed ESSENTIALS as the first product from MORE NUTRITION. A product that simply and safely provides you with the important vitamins D3 and K2, as well as the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA. Of course, this supplement does not replace a balanced and essential diet for the body, which should be tailored to your needs.
But why are the ESSENTIALS so important?
Not just omega-3 capsules: Also vitamin D3
Vitamin D is one of the fat-soluble vitamins. Unlike water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed together with fats, which means that the uptake of vitamins can be enhanced by the simultaneous intake of fat through food.
Vitamin D3 occupies a particularly special position among the many vitamins, as it is covered by the body's own production under optimal conditions. This body's own production is only possible through UVB light exposure. This means that your body can only produce vitamin D3 itself with the help of the sun's UVB radiation. In our latitudes, however, the UVB radiation is only sufficient from spring to the end of summer to produce enough vitamin D. With sufficient sunlight, bare skin, and a lack of sunscreen, vitamin D is then synthesised under the skin. While vitamin D can also be obtained through diet, it only occurs in small amounts in foods.
The fact that in our latitudes and due to modern lifestyle, UVB light exposure is not sufficient and thus the body's own production is inadequate for many is evident from the results of the National Consumption Study II (NVS II). According to NVS II, over 90% of women and over 80% of men did not even reach the minimum intake recommended by the German Nutrition Society.1 The DGE recommends a daily intake of at least 20 µg/day for adults in the absence of body synthesis.2 An overdose should also be avoided. The maximum daily amount of vitamin D has been set at 100 µg/day.3
If insufficient vitamin D is synthesised, this vitamin should be taken additionally to counteract a vitamin deficiency. Since the vitamin contributes to several important functions in our body, our product contains 25 µg of vitamin D3 per 2 capsules, allowing you to easily and sufficiently meet your needs.
Vitamin D is particularly important for a healthy skeleton, together with vitamin K, as both contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. Vitamin D also contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function and normal teeth. Furthermore, it plays a role in cell division and contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus.
Vitamin K2
The most well-known vitamin K compounds are vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) and K2 (menaquinone). Like vitamin D, vitamin K is also fat-soluble. While vitamin K1 is found in many plant foods like cabbage or leafy greens, vitamin K2 is produced bacterially and is mainly found in animal foods like meat or dairy products.
The vitamin is absorbed in the intestine and then transported via the blood to the liver, where it can perform its main task. Vitamin K predominantly contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones and should therefore be supplemented when dietary intake is insufficient.
According to the DGE, the daily requirement for adults varies by age and sex and is between 50 µg and 80 µg.5 There is no data available for setting an official upper limit for vitamin K2. Studies have shown no evidence of harmful effects associated with additional intake of vitamin K in the form of phylloquinone of up to 10 mg/day according to the EFSA.6 The Expert Group on Vitamins and Minerals (EVM) has established a guideline for a safe total daily intake for additional intake from supplements for adults of 1,000 µg.7
In our ESSENTIALS, we rely on micro-encapsulated all-trans vitamin K2-MK7. This is a very stable form of vitamin K2, which also has very high bioavailability. Vitamin K2 is degraded unprotected in certain formulations with other substances or under certain environmental conditions. The very bioavailable form of K2-MK7 is particularly susceptible to this. Therefore, only micro-encapsulated vitamin K2-MK7 is suitable for us, so you are truly supplied with the amount stated on the label. The compound used can be well utilised by your body. In the recommended dosage of 2 capsules, there is an amount of 50 μg of vitamin K2.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Fatty acids serve as energy carriers for our body and play an important role in our metabolism. The polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids are essential for us and must be obtained through food, as our organism cannot synthesise them itself.
The most important omega-3 fatty acids are:
- Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)
- Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
- Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
The two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA can, contrary to popular belief, only be formed by our body in very small amounts from plant-based ALA, which is found in flaxseed oil, for example.8 Therefore, additional intake of EPA and DHA for adequate supply is recommended even by the largest cardiology societies in Europe and the USA, the European Society of Cardiology and the American Heart Association.
Since the omega-3 fatty acids are components of our cell membranes, they also influence their properties. Furthermore, the fatty acids are precursors to some hormones and other substances in the body. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision. The effect occurs with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA. Additionally, DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function, which also occurs with an intake of 250 mg DHA. EPA and DHA both contribute to normal heart function. The effect regarding heart function occurs with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA/DHA.
To ensure that the omega-3 fatty acids can exert their full effect, one serving of ESSENTIALS contains 1000 mg EPA and 500 mg DHA. We also use fish oil in its natural triglyceride form, as this has a higher bioavailability and thus allows for better absorption in the body compared to the ethyl ester form.
