What is SUSTAMED badger fat made of, and what does that mean in practice? — Badger Fat Food Supplement, 100 ml-SUSTAMED

SUSTAMED Mägrarasv consists of 100% rendered badger fat with no other ingredients. Its nutritional value comes from several components.

• Unsaturated fatty acids — monounsaturated and polyunsaturated, including omega-3 and omega-6. The body cannot synthesise enough of these fats on its own and gets them from food. They are part of cell membranes and are involved in metabolic processes.
• Vitamin E — a fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress. In liquid fat it is preserved in its natural form.

In practice, this means the product is a concentrated source of lipids of animal origin. People choose it as an addition to their diet at times of higher calorie and fat needs — for example, in the cold season or during intense physical activity. That said, the product is a supplement to a balanced diet, not a replacement for it.
