Adolescence: how to support kids with Omega-3s?

Good morning I have read many positive opinions about your products and for my almost 13 years old daughter I purchased Vitality 1000 to help her in the change of seasons and for school. I hope I made the right choice. She says she feels benefit by calling her head clear'' and indeed she is much less tired and more active. I also read about Omegor Mind and wanted to know if I can possibly after this box, continue the treatment with this. She studies all day and does a lot of sports. I look forward to your advice. Thank you Silvana


Dear Silvana, 


during the adolescent and developmental stages, it is an excellent choice to supplement children's diets with omega-3 fatty acids. In fact, omega-3s are essential nutrients for the proper composition of the membranes of all our cells, and all of us are in fact deficient in them due to today's eating style. 


Omegor Vitality 1000 is a pure and concentrated omega-3 fatty acid dietary supplement that is well suited for "family use," for all members of the household at various stages of life, including adolescence:


  • just one capsule of Vitality 1000 provides thedaily supply of omega-3 EPA and DHA that we need for important biological effects on our bodies to take place;
  • a dosage higher than one capsule may instead be supportive to counteractsilent inflammation or in those who exercise (2-3 cps/day),
  • but also to balance the lipid profile, as 2 g per day of EPA and DHA-equal to 4 capsules-can be helpful in controlling normal blood triglyceride levels.


Regarding the most suitable dietary supplementation for your daughter, to best support her concentration skills and help her cope with school and sports commitments, I recommend the possibility of alternating Omegor Vitality 1000 cyclically with Omegor Mind, as you suggested. Omegor Mind provides comprehensive supplementation for:


  • cognitive functions;
  • energy metabolism;
  • immune system.


In fact, in addition to a sufficient dose of Omega3 EPA and DHA, Omegor Mind also contains: omega-6 GLA from borage oil; a clinically tested Bacopamonnieri extract Bacomind®; optimal levels of all B Vitamins; zinc and vitamin C. 


Bacopa extract used in Omegor Mind showed improvement in various memory-related functions (working memory, logical memory, memory related to personal life, visual and auditory memory). Each cycle of taking the two products is preferred to last at least one month, and breaks of 15 to 30 days can be observed between cycles. 

For Omegor Mind the recommended dosage is 2 capsules per day.


 I remain available for further information. 


Sincerely,
