<p>Compared to other vegetable oils, perilla oil contains a very high level of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). It is therefore an excellent, completely plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids.</p> <p>Omega-3 Perilla Oil Caps from <a style="color:#78509a;" href="https://morgenisnu.nl/merk/gse/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">GSE</span></a> contains cold-pressed organic oil from the plant Perilla frutescens L. This is packed in a completely vegetable capsule. This product is extremely pure, because it simply does not contain more ingredients than perilla oil and vegetable capsule. Perilla oil is an excellent vegan and vegetarian source of unsaturated fatty acids. It is characterized in particular by the high content of alpha-linolenic acid. This is an omega 3 fatty acid that is important in our body for maintaining healthy cholesterol.</p> <h4><span style="color:#78509a;">Omega-3 Perilla Oil Caps as a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids</span></h4> <p>The oil from the seeds of the Perilla plant has a very high percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids: the omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the omega-6 fatty acid linoleic acid and the omega-9 fatty acid oleic acid. Perilla oil also contains these in a very favorable ratio of 4:1:1 respectively.</p> <p>Compared to other vegetable oils, perilla oil is particularly notable for its high content of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). The oil contains over 60% alpha-linolenic acid. The human body uses alpha-linolenic acid as a source for making the fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and decosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These are the omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil and algae oil. The advantage of using alpha-linolenic acid is that it is less susceptible to oxidation. It is also completely vegetable and has no intrusive fishy (after)taste.</p> <h4><span style="color:#78509a;">About the benefits of omega 3</span></h4> <p>Alpha-linolenic acid is an important omega-3 fatty acid. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for the human body. This means that our body cannot produce them itself. We must therefore obtain them through our diet. They are very important substances in our body. For example, omega-3 fatty acids can contribute to regulating blood lipid levels (such as cholesterol and triglycerides). This prevents deposits on the blood vessel wall, which in turn keeps the blood vessels healthy.</p> <p>Also check out our high-quality plant-based <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#78509a;"><a style="color:#78509a;text-decoration:underline;" href="https://morgenisnu.nl/products/vimergy-epa-dha/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vegan EPA/DHA</a></span></span> from Vimergy.
