SOFTMEGA and SOFTMEGA FORTE contains Omega 3 Marine Triglycerides Softgel Capsules. Omega-3s are one type of essential fatty acid and include eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Omega-3 fatty acids play a critical role in metabolism and cellular function and they are available as daily supplements. Omega-3 fatty acids are triglycerides that get broken down into smaller fatty acid units. They act to reduce plasma triglyceride levels and are thought to possess potent anti-arrythmic effects. Polyunsaturated fatty acids including EPA and DHA mediate important cellular function such as inhibition of platelet function, prolongation of bleeding time, anti-inflammatory effects and reduction of plasma fibrinogen.

COMPOSITION:
Omega 3 Marine Triglycerides Softgel Capsules
SOFTMEGA – EPA 180 mg, DHA 120 mg
SOFTMEGA FORTE – EPA 360 mg, DHA 240 mg
MODE OF ACTION:
Omega-3 fatty acids mediate anti-inflammatory effects and increased levels of EPA or DHA has shown to decrease the levels of PGE2 and 4 series-LT. Eicosapentaenoic acids compete with constitutive levels of arachidonic acid in cell membranes for the same desaturation enzymes and produce 3-series prostaglandins and thromboxanes, and 5-series leukotrienes which have low pro-inflammatory potential. EPA and DHA also give rise to resolvins and related lipid signalling molecules such as protectins via cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways, which have anti-inflammatory effects. They inhibit transendothelial migration of neutrophils and inhibit TNF and IL-1β production.
