EPA — Eicosapentaenoic Acid
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) is an essential Omega-3 fatty acid primarily found in fatty fish and certain algae. Since your body cannot produce this fatty acid on its own, it must be obtained through diet or supplements. When consumed daily, EPA supports normal heart function and helps maintain healthy blood triglyceride levels.
Herstella Omega-3 contains 327.86 mg of EPA per serving—a dosage that aligns with EFSA-recognized benefits for heart health. Together with DHA, EPA forms the foundation of a comprehensive Omega-3 profile.
DHA — Docosahexaenoic Acid
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is the most abundant Omega-3 fatty acid in the brain and eyes. It supports the maintenance of normal brain function and healthy vision. Especially during periods of high mental demand, DHA is of vital importance. Additionally, it plays a structural role in the formation of nerve cells.
With 218.57 mg of DHA per serving, Herstella Omega-3 supports both brain function and vision—two distinct health benefits approved by the EFSA.
Triglyceride Form Fish Oil
Fish oil is naturally found in the triglyceride form. This means that three fatty acids are bound to a single glycerol molecule—exactly as they are in fresh fish. While many lower-cost supplements use ethyl esters, a processed form that is less efficiently absorbed by the body.
Herstella Naturals consciously chooses the natural triglyceride form. Research shows that this form is absorbed up to 70% better than ethyl esters. This allows the body to utilize Omega-3 fatty acids more efficiently, even at lower dosages.
Vitamin K2 (as MK-7)
Vitamin K2 in the MK-7 form is the most absorbable and longest-acting variant of Vitamin K2. It helps activate essential proteins such as osteocalcin (for bones) and MGP (for blood vessels). These proteins ensure that calcium ends up in the right place: in the bones and not in the blood vessels.
K2 works closely with Vitamin D3. While D3 ensures better absorption of calcium, K2 helps to distribute this calcium properly throughout the body. Without sufficient K2, a high intake of D3 may be less effective.
Vitamin D3
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the natural form of vitamin D that your body produces through sunlight. It is also the most effective form for increasing your vitamin D levels. D3 supports the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, contributing to strong bones and teeth, optimal muscle function, and a normally functioning immune system.
Since Omega-3 fatty acids are fat-soluble, they are best absorbed when taken with fats. By combining Vitamin D3 with fish oil in a single capsule, absorption is naturally optimized. This synergy provides both exceptional convenience and maximum effectiveness.
