Endometriosis: better Omegor Vitality 1000 or 500?

Dear Claudia, 

In endometriosis, nutrition plays an important role, and dietary'dietary supplementation with omega-3 EPA and DHA is very helpful because of the anti-inflammatory effect of these fatty acids. EPA and DHA, found in fish oil, reduce the inflammatory response by substituting in cell membranes for arachidonic acid, a substance from which inflammatory molecules originate.

Routinely consuming fish and EPA and DHA can thus be a valuable adjunctive treatment of endometriosis, helpful in relieving inflammation and reducing the use of anti-inflammatory drugs that are generally used. 

Products Omegor Vitality 1000 e Omegor Vitality 500 differ from each other only in the amount of fish oil contained in each capsule and therefore by the size of the latter. In Omegor Vitality 1000 each capsule contains 1000 mg of fish oil, while Omegor Vitality 500 half. The format of Omegor Vitality 500 is designed for those who have problems swallowing the larger capsules, but from the standpoint of quality and purity characteristics, there are no differences between the two products.

In cases of endometriosis, the useful dosage of EPA and DHA corresponds to 2-3 capsules per day of Omegor Vitality 1000 or if you prefer 4-6 capsules of Omegor Vitality 500. The ingredients of Omegor Vitality (1000 and 500) are: Fish oil concentrated and purified in Omega-3 EPA and DHA, natural vitamin E in sunflower oil. The wrapper is bovine food gelatin and vegetable glycerol. The product is gluten-free and soy is not present as an ingredient.


Sincerely,
