Why do the Omega 3 Kids drops contain ascorbyl palmitate?

Omega 3 fatty acids are naturally very unstable.
To optimally protect the active ingredient, ascorbyl palmitate is used, among other things.
Chemically speaking, this is an ester of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and palmitic acid (natural fatty acid), which makes the vitamin C fat-soluble and can thus perfectly protect the omega 3 fatty acids from oxidation, which ensures that the algae oil remains stable for longer. Ascorbyl palmitate is broken down in the gastrointestinal tract into its original substances, vitamin C and palmitic acid, and digested as usual.
