It is more than 50 years that Long-Chain Omega-3 Fatty Acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are known and have been studied for their critical role to overall health and well-being at all stages of life.
The benefits of omega-3s for heart, brain and eye health are well-known, however consumers are less aware that EPA and DHA can address a broad spectrum of other wellness concerns well-documented in scientific literature. In this webinar we want to take you through the emerging areas of research, the scientific studies dealing with the additional benefits such as sleep, mood and muscle health.
dsm-firmenich’s leading omega-3 innovation is based on research by NASA to study the use of algae for food and oxygen supply in space. Going directly to microalgae rather than fish oil makes no difference to the clinical benefits, but in switching to life’s® portfolio products, the ecological benefits are huge.
Join us in this journey through the nutrition science, the innovation, the biotechnology of Omega-3 Fatty Acids, the powerful allies to our health.
