Omega 3 fatty acids are an essential component of the cell membranes of all cells in the body. The cerebral cortex, retina, testes and sperm are particularly rich in DHA. However, the body cannot effectively synthesize them and thus relies on their intake through the diet.

It is always advisable to take it with food due to better absorption, but it doesn't matter if it is in the morning, at noon or in the evening. If it concerns the period and the total length of supplementation, it is possible to supplement throughout the year without restrictions.

Both groups of omega 3 and omega 6 fats are referred to as long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Their difference lies in the chemical bond and the location of the first double bond. It's not that important. The important thing is that they are metabolically and functionally different and often have important opposing physiological effects, which is why their balance in the diet is important. Some omega 6s are biologically active in very small amounts and, if ingested in large amounts, contribute to allergic and inflammatory disorders, especially in sensitive individuals. A diet rich in omega-6 fatty acids therefore shifts the state of the organism to a state that is pro-inflammatory with other negative effects. When eating fish or fish oil, EPA and DHA (omega 3) from the diet partially replace omega 6 fatty acids in the membranes of probably all cells and thus partially compensate for the negative effect of omega 6. That is why it is so important to maintain the ratio of omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids received. Today, in the Western diet, the ratio of ω-6 to ω-3 fatty acids ranges from approximately 10:1 to 20:1 instead of the ideal range of 4:1 to 2:1.
