Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids
also contained in Charismon®
Scientists said: in no other substance in the world you get as many Omegas(Omega fatty acids) as in CHARISMON.
Fat is important in our daily nutrition. It’s most important task is to deliver energy together with proteins and carbohydrates.
They are also carrier for fat-soluble vitamins, constructive and protective substances. The fatty acids (FA), an important part of fats, will be integrated into the cell walls and determine their functionality and elasticity.
Moreover, certain signal substances are formed from fatty acids, the socalled eicosanoids, which first and foremost influence the blood-circular-system.
The Omega fatty acids belong to the unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids).
The last letter of the Greek alphabet serves as classification term, Omega (= w), counted from the end of the methyls of the fatty acid. The first not completely saturated fatty acid molecule is in a fixed position.
Omega fatty acids have these first double-binding at the 3rd, 6th or 9th carbon atom (C-Atom).
Each fatty acid provides a special spectrum of effects, resulting from the position of the 1st double-binding, the length of the fatty acid chain and the number of double-bindings.
The fatty acids are ambivalent, i.e. at one of their end, the one with the carboxle-group (-COOH), they are hydrophile (they like water),
and at the opposite end with the methyl-group (-CH) they are lipophile (they like fat).
The length of the fatty chain determines the solubility:
the shorter – the more soluble.
Omega fatty acids are vital, essential, and must be provided by nutrition.
The Omega-3 fatty acid cannot be transformed into Omega-6 fatty acid in the human body and also vice versa!
The unsaturated Omega-3 and –6 fatty acids are also essential for the cellular membranes of the human skin and mucous membranes. Both, elasticity and functionability depend on them in the electric impulse transmission field.
Charismon® contains both
C18:2 linoleic acid, Omega 6 FA(Fatty Acid)
as well as
C18:3 linolenic, Omega 3 FA
The most important task of the essential fatty acids is the synthesis of prostaglandines.
Direct or indirect effects of Omega-3 fatty acids:
- enhance the blood circulation
- decrease the blood pressure
- improvement of the blood-circular-system by reduction of high triglycerides, the high cholesterol; prevention of arteriosclerosis
- improvement of the adaptibility of the erythrocytes (red blood corpuscles) and therefore a better blood circulation
- stimulate the formation of nitrogen monoxide, a substance widening the veins
- Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids transform into hormonelike compounds, the prostaglandines PGE 3 and PGE 2
- keep the blood liquid
Eicosanoids (made from Omega-6 fatty acids):
- reduce the conglomeration of the thrombocytes and avoid the formation of blood clots (thrombosis of the veins)
- they reduce inflammation, e.g. in case of gout, rheumatic arthritis, rheumatism, psoriasis, neurodermitis
- they also bring relief in case of inflammatory deseases of the intestines (colitis ulcerosa, morbus crohn)
Eicosanoids are involved in:
- the regulation of the lipolyses
- the dissolution of inflammations
- the regulation of the ion transport through the cell membranes
- therefore with a strong influence on the cell ability to transmit electric impulses
- the modulation of the synaptic potentials
- the starting of the blood clotting process
- the regulation of the sleep/wake cycle
- the regulation of several reproduction processes
- the regulation of the cholesterine synthesis
- increase of the immune defense
- fine tuning of the mood
- influence on memory and feelings
- loss of eye sight due to old age
- activity of the brain
- brain activity and eye sight capacity of small children
- growth
Omega-3 fatty acids to be found in:
(most important representative is linolenic acid)
- egg-oil
- flaxseed-oil
- Soybean-Oil
- Linilen-Oil
- walnut-oil
- new rape-oil
Omega-6 fatty acids to be found in:
(most important representative is linoleic acid)
- egg-oil
- flaxseed-oil
- soybean-oil
- sunflower-oil
- wheatgerm-oil
- corn-oil
- margarine, butter
Low Omega-3 fatty acid levels lead to a deficiency of serotonines.
This can cause depressive disorders.
Consumption of Omega-3 fatty acid can improve the mood and reduce aggressive feelings!
(Study Harvard Clinic, McLean Hospital)
A study with prisoners shows: Violence was reduced up to 40 % by higher consumption of Omega-3 fatty acids!
