Properties per ingredient: The polyunsaturated fatty acids can be divided into two major families: the omega-3 family (alpha-linolenic acid group) and the omega-6 family (linoleic acid group). Because the animal body cannot produce these fatty acids itself, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids must be consumed through food or supplementation. These essential fatty acids used to be called vitamin F.

In the twentieth century, the ratio between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the diet has shifted significantly towards omega-6 fatty acids. The increasing use of vegetable oils and fats, which are rich in omega-6 fatty acids, stimulates the formation of arachidonic acid, at the expense of EPA and DHA. Arachidonic acid itself is abundant in the Western diet. It is estimated that the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids in the Western diet is approximately 20-25: 1. Researchers say that a ratio of about 5:1 is more desirable. Evolutionarily speaking, the dog (and its predecessors) has consumed omega-6 and omega-3 at a (probably) 1:1 ratio for millions of years.

The enzyme delta-6-desaturase regulates both the conversion of linoleic acid to DGLA and the conversion of ALA to (ultimately) EPA. An excess of linoleic acid means that ALA can hardly use the enzyme anymore, and therefore hardly any more EPA and DHA are formed. This enzyme is already the slowest step in the chain and the action of this enzyme is also inhibited by many factors in the diet (including trans fatty acids, saturated fats, deficiencies in zinc, magnesium and/or vitamin B6, alcohol) and metabolic factors (hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, certain medications). This means that in our Western society many animals can hardly produce GLA and EPA themselves, and these fatty acids must therefore be supplied through the diet.

Dosage and application:
Unless the doctor or therapist prescribes otherwise.
The optimal dosage 1 x daily: (Build up the dosage slowly).
Dog 1 - 3 capsule(s)
Cat 1 - 2 capsule(s)

Advice for use In an acute situation, the dosage may be increased on the advice of a veterinarian. When Omega-3 oil is administered, loose stools may occur initially. Build up slowly if necessary.

Treatment duration
Omega-3 fatty acids are built into cell membranes. This is a process that takes several days to 2 weeks. The effect is usually visible after 1 to 3 weeks. After the complaints have diminished, you can switch to a maintenance dose. This is usually half of the dosage indicated on the package. When dosing this product, pay close attention to the animal's reaction. A higher dose may be required initially, but this product can safely be given in double doses. When the symptoms diminish or disappear, gradually reduce the dosage to the lowest possible dosage. This product can be given permanently for chronic complaints.

Save
Store in the refrigerator after opening. The effectiveness of polyunsaturated fatty acids can decrease under the influence of light and oxygen. Keep out of reach of children.

Synergy and combinations with other products
This product can be used without objection in combination with other natural health products and regular medicines.

Contraindications
There are no known contraindications for the stated dosage.

Side effects
When using high doses of fish oil (more than 5 grams of EPA + DHA per day) there is a risk of loose stools.

Interactions
Because omega-3 fatty acids have the property of preventing blood clotting, animals that use blood thinners, are deficient in vitamin K or use other medications that inhibit blood clotting (aspirin), internal bleeding may occur when using high doses of omega-3 fatty acids ( more than 5 grams of EPA + DHA). In those cases it is recommended to adjust the dosage. The effect on blood clotting by omega-3 fatty acids is maximum after 6 weeks of treatment.
