Daily health comes from the blessings of the sea!
DHA and EPA found in sardines and tuna, and squalene that supports the strong vitality of deep-sea sharks, in an easy-to-swallow soft capsule!
DHA & EPA
Fish live in cold seas, so their fat remains liquid even at temperatures as low as -45°C.
α-linolenic acid contained in the phytoplankton that they feed on accumulates in the fish's bodies and changes into DHA and EPA.
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is found mainly in tuna and bonito, while EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) is found in large amounts in blue-backed fish such as sardines and pacific saury.
Chemically, it is classified as a type of essential fatty acid called "α-linolenic acid-based highly unsaturated fatty acid."
It is known that Japanese children have higher IQs than Western children, and one of the reasons for this is said to be that Japanese children eat more fish that contain more DHA than Western children.
Omega-3 fatty acids such as DHA and EPA cannot be synthesized in the body, so they are ingredients that should be actively ingested.
Squalene
Deep-sea sharks live in the deep sea at depths of 500 to 1,000 meters, and have survived for hundreds of millions of years in the harsh natural conditions of the deep sea, where there is little oxygen and no light, and continue to reproduce even today.
Deep-sea sharks are rare creatures that completely create their own ``substitute for light and oxygen'' in the form of squalene.
The source of their vigorous vitality is said to be their huge liver, squalene.
Deep-sea sharks' livers store amazing energy, and they have extraordinary durability that can withstand strong water pressure.
In deep-sea sharks, 1/4 of the body is made up of internal organs, over 80% of which is the liver, and 85% of that liver is squalene.
Depending on the species, there are deep-sea sharks whose liver oil is about 80-50% squalene.
After deep-sea sharks, humans are the animals that contain the most squalene.
It is found in particular in subcutaneous fat and skin.
