OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS

These organic compounds are an important part of a healthy diet for people of all ages, but their intake is especially important for adolescents. While in adults omega-3 fatty acids contribute to the maintenance of body functions and physiology, in children they are a key factor in the proper development of many organs and systems, and their deficiency can cause some irreversible consequences.

The main omega-3 fatty acids are three - DHA, EPA and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is found in plant foods and has no active function in the body. The body uses it to produce the other two, but in extremely limited quantities, so they must be obtained through food. The richest sources of these substances are fish oil, krill oil.

WHAT ARE THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF OMEGA-3 ACIDS IN CHILDREN?

Support brain development and function – The brain grows at its fastest rate from birth to the end of a child's second year, but continues to develop even after puberty ends. Over 60% of it consists of fat, with docosahexaenoic making up about 15%. It is necessary for the development of sensory, perceptual, cognitive and motor functions in the child's growth process. Scientists believe that DHA is responsible for activities such as planning, problem solving, and focusing attention.

Help improve skills in primary school - An experiment carried out by Oxford University researchers with children in the bottom 20% of achievement in a local primary school showed significant progress in reading after taking an omega-3 supplement for three months compared to a control group. In another study carried out in Bradford, 81% of young pupils taking fish oil made significant progress in writing and arithmetic.

Reduce the risk of developing allergies - Thanks to their powerful anti-inflammatory properties, omega-3 fatty acids help prevent and treat conditions such as asthma, upper respiratory tract infections, rhinitis and eczema in children under 12 years of age.

Help improve insulin resistance in overweight children - Omega-3 fatty acids have been found to help significantly lower blood glucose and insulin levels in obese children and adolescents. In addition, their intake helps to reduce triglycerides - the main components of body fat.
Various scientific studies and clinical trials have shown that omega-3 fatty acids also help maintain bone health and boost immunity, leading to a reduction in susceptibility to common childhood illnesses such as respiratory infections and diarrhea, improving the quality of sleep, to improve symptoms of depression and attention deficit hyperkinetic disorder.

GAMMA-LINOLENIC ACID
This omega-6 fatty acid is also necessary for human health and also cannot be produced by the body, but must be obtained from food. Together with DHA and EPA, it plays an important role in brain function and the normal development of children. Gamma-linolenic acid supports skin and hair growth, supports bone health and helps regulate metabolism.

One of the most important properties of GLA is that, unlike other omega-6 fatty acids, it counteracts inflammatory processes. Scientific studies show that it can even help protect DNA from damage. The body processes dietary GLA into a biologically active substance called DGLA, which has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. The process is accelerated by the presence of certain vitamins and minerals.
