Omega-3 and vitamins D3, K2 and E

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids that the body cannot produce on its own and that must come from food or supplements. They include EPA and DHA, found in fatty sea fish and seafood. Vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol, is a fat-soluble vitamin obtained from food and synthesised in the skin; it is stored mainly in adipose tissue and the liver. Vitamin K2, or menaquinone, is also fat-soluble; this product uses menaquinone-7 (MK-7) obtained from the bacterium Bacillus subtilis natto. Vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol) is a fat-soluble nutrient found in vegetable oils, hazelnuts and cereal germs. Because of the high fish oil content, the softgels have a characteristic fishy smell.

How to use?

Take 1 serving, i.e. 1 softgel, a day, preferably after a meal, and drink plenty of water. Before use it is advisable to have a 25-(OH)D blood test and consult a doctor or pharmacist. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied diet; a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are recommended. The product must not be used by children, pregnant or breastfeeding women, nor by people taking anticoagulants containing vitamin K antagonists (e.g. warfarin and acenocoumarol). Do not use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.
