Vegetable oils - rich in unsaturated fatty acids

Linseed oil, safflower oil and other vegetable oils rich in alpha-linolenic acid contribute to the formation of various long-chain omega-3 fatty acids such as eicosatetraenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid and docosapentaenoic acid in the metabolism. Plant oils such as linseed oil, safflower oil and other ALA-rich varieties (e.g. hemp, rapeseed and chia oil) are important sources of the plant-based omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which the body converts in small quantities into the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, biologically more active omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to improve blood lipid levels and counteract an unbalanced diet, although the conversion is limited and fish oil is often a more direct source of EPA/DHA....

Landpack Professional cold chain delivery – hemp insulated bag plus sustainable cooling pad  EAN: 4251354404730

Professional cold chain delivery – hemp insulated bag plus sustainable cooling pad

Professional refrigerated delivery in eco-friendly packaging Temperature-sensitive items such as lactic acid bacteria or omega-3 oils should, when outside temperatures are high, only be shipped in refrigerated packaging to ensure your products arrive undamaged. In addition to our affordable ‘Light’ version, which consists ofcamping ice packs that keep the goods slightly cooler for 12–18 hours, we also offer this refrigerated version, which keeps the products cold for considerably longer We source these from Podomedi, though not as a regular product; instead, we place our own orders there from time to time with chilled delivery and set the ice packs aside for our customers . As a result, we only ever have a limited stock. For this reason, and also because we make no profit on this product – on the contrary, we sell them for slightly less than our purchase price – you can add a maximum of 1 cooling pack to an order at a time. In our experience, in orders requiring refrigerated delivery, which take 2–3 days to reach us from Podomedi Netherlands, there was still frozen ice present in the cooling packs; in other words, these cool packs reliably keep your goods cool for at least 2 to just over 3 days – in other words, for the entire standard DHL delivery period! The cooling pack consists of a hemp thermal bag, which is fully compostable, and a reusable cooling pad. The hemp bag can be disposed of in organic waste or reused many times. The cooling pads are sustainable and filled with pure water, free from chemicals. They can be easily refrozen and reused. To protect the goods from excessive heat, during the summer or when temperatures exceed 25 degrees, we only dispatch heat-sensitive products from Monday to Wednesday. Heat-sensitive products include: All omega-3 oils, whether in capsules or bottles Probiotics such as capsules containing lactic acid bacteria or other digestive-aid microbes All types of enzymes In the event of extremely high temperatures of 30 degrees or above, we recommend postponing your purchase until temperatures have dropped again. Of course, our customers are free to decide for themselves. However, we do not accept returns on the grounds of “heat damage” if the weather conditions were known from the outset at the time of purchase AND the parcel was delivered within the standard delivery time, i.e. it was not delayed for an unreasonably long time due to a DHL error, for example, AND a cooling pack was deliberately not selected at the time of purchase. Naturally, we also take this into account. We know which products are provided by the manufacturer with sufficient heat protection to withstand 1–2 days in warm conditions, e.g. through the addition of vitamin E, and which are more sensitive, and we contact customers before dispatch if necessary to ensure safe delivery.

NEMT 1 ice pack (200 ml each), frozen to -18 degrees for dispatch  EAN: 4251354404730

1 ice pack (200 ml each), frozen to -18 degrees for dispatch

For greater safety in summer All temperature-sensitive products from the manufacturers in our range of food supplements, animal feed, etc. are designed to withstand a brief rise in ambient temperature without any problems. Probiotics generally prefer cool conditions. To compensate for losses during shipping and storage from the outset, a significantly larger quantity is filled into the capsules than is stated on the tin. The aim is to ensure that, even at the end of the best-before date, the capsules still contain as many viable bacteria as stated. Fish oils, algae oil and krill oil are protected against oxidation by the addition of vitamin E. According to our manufacturers, a slight rise in temperature for 1–2 days during transport does not affect them, but afterwards they should be stored in a cool place again or, depending on the product, in the fridge. To protect the goods from excessive heat, in summer or when temperatures exceed 25 degrees, we only dispatch such products from Monday to Thursday. In the event of extremely high temperatures of 30 degrees or above, we recommend postponing your purchase until temperatures have dropped again. Of course, our customers are free to decide for themselves. However, we do not accept returns of products on the grounds of ‘heat damage’ if the weather conditions were known at the time of purchase. A safe alternative: refrigerated delivery! When purchasing heat-sensitive products (probiotics, enzymes, oils), we recommend booking refrigerated delivery, which can easily be arranged via the checkout function; this is listed on our site as a standard product. We will then include ice packs – as many as you purchase – and take extra care to insulate the goods. The more you purchase, the safer and cooler the transport will be. The insulation and the -18 degrees temperature of the ice packs are sufficient to keep the goods significantly cooler for 12–24 hours. Even if it may no longer be cold when it reaches the customer, the heat exposure during transport will have been well below the maximum limit specified by the manufacturers. And our customers also get added value in return: These are standard ice packs, which are hardly any cheaper to buy in shops. This means they can simply be reused in the home afterwards. The ice packs are suitable for a temperature range of -18° Celsius to +40° Celsius, so they can also be used, for example, as a heat pack to apply to tense muscles or similar. Safety note: The ice packs are sealed and are not intended to be opened, with the contents replaced, or for the liquid to be consumed!

Function of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA)

The essential omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is crucial for brain function, cardiovascular health and conversion to EPA/DHA, while gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), as an omega-6 fatty acid, produces anti-inflammatory prostaglandins (series 1) that support skin conditions (such as atopic dermatitis), hormone balance (in PMS) and immune regulation. Although they are both essential for survival and control inflammation and cell function, they do so via different metabolic pathways and with their own benefits.

Oils rich in ALA and GLA

  • Linseed oil: It is one of the best sources with around 50-60% ALA.
  • Evening primrose oil contains mainly gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) with a proportion of around 8-10%, while alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is hardly present. It also contains around 70-74 % linoleic acid. GLA plays an important role in skin health and hormonal regulation as it cannot always be efficiently synthesised from linoleic acid.
  • Borage oil is the richest natural source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential omega-6 fatty acid, with a content of around 18% to 26%, which is significantly higher than the GLA content in evening primrose oil (approx. 7-10%).
  • Sea buckthorn pulp oil contains valuable fatty acids such as gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) as well as carotenoids, vitamins (A, E) and antioxidants that regenerate the skin
  • Hemp oil is an important source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an anti-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acid that supports immune regulation. It is often used for skin problems and arthritis. Hemp oil also has an ideal omega-3 to omega-6 ratio (approx. 3:1) and contains vitamin E, which increases its nutritional value.
