Properties per ingredient: Polyunsaturated fatty acids can be divided into two large families: the omega-3 family (alpha-linolenic acid group) and the omega-6 family (linoleic acid group). Because the animal's body cannot produce these fatty acids itself, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids must be ingested through food or supplements. These essential fatty acids were formerly also called vitamin F.
During the twentieth century, the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids in the diet shifted significantly toward omega-6 fatty acids. The increasing use of vegetable oils and fats, which are rich in omega-6 fatty acids, promotes 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 argue that a ratio of around 5:1 is more desirable. Evolutionarily speaking, dogs (and their ancestors) have consumed omega-6 to omega-3 in 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. Excess linoleic acid results in ALA barely being able to utilize the enzyme, and therefore hardly any EPA and DHA are formed. This enzyme is already the slowest step in the chain, and its function is further inhibited by many dietary factors (including trans fatty acids, saturated fats, zinc, magnesium, and/or vitamin B6 deficiencies, alcohol) and metabolic factors (hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, certain medications). Consequently, in our Western society, many animals are barely able to produce GLA and EPA themselves, and these fatty acids must therefore be supplied through food.
Dosage and application:
Unless the doctor or therapist prescribes otherwise.
The optimal dosage once a day: (Build up dosage slowly).
Dog 1 - 3 capsule(s)
Cat 1 - 2 capsule(s)
Recommendations for use: In acute situations, the dosage may be increased on the advice of a veterinarian. When administering Omega-3 oil, loose stools may occur initially. Build up gradually if necessary.
Treatment duration
Omega-3 fatty acids are incorporated into cell membranes. This process takes several days to two weeks. The effect is usually visible after one to three weeks. Once symptoms have subsided, a maintenance dose can be introduced. This is usually half the dosage indicated on the packaging. When dosing this product, carefully monitor your animal's reaction. A higher dosage may be necessary initially; this product can be safely administered at double the recommended dose. Gradually reduce the dosage to the lowest possible dose once symptoms subside or have disappeared. This product can be continued for chronic conditions.
Save
Store in the refrigerator after opening. Exposure to light and oxygen may reduce the effectiveness of the polyunsaturated fatty acids. Keep out of reach of children.
Synergy and combinations with other products
This product can be used without any problems in combination with other natural health products and conventional medicines.
Contraindications
There are no known contraindications at the indicated 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 inhibit blood clotting, animals taking blood thinners, vitamin K deficiency, or other medications that inhibit blood clotting (e.g., aspirin) may experience internal bleeding when given high doses of omega-3 fatty acids (more than 5 grams of EPA + DHA). In these cases, it is recommended to adjust the dosage. The effect on blood clotting due to omega-3 fatty acids is maximal after 6 weeks of treatment.
