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 body cannot produce these fatty acids itself, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids must be ingested through food or supplementation. 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, stimulates 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 (e.g., 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; therefore, these fatty acids must 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)

Advice 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 subside, a maintenance dose can be introduced. This is usually half the recommended dosage.
