Why Omegor Vitality as an omega-3 supplement?

Good morning, I am writing to ask if I can take Omegor Vitality instead of Esapent or Olevia. Of these I take 2 capsules a day, how many should I take of your Omegor Vitality1000?

Dear Andrea, 

Olevia and Esapent 1000 contain ethyl esters of polyunsaturated fatty acids 1000 mg with an EPA and DHA content of not less than 85% and in a ratio of 0.9:1.5 to each other. That is, a content of not less than 850 mg EPA+DHA per capsule. Omegor Vitality 1000 contains triglycerides of polyunsaturated fatty acids 900 mg and 80% EPA and DHA in a ratio of 2:1 to each other. That is, a content of not less than 800 mg of EPA+DHA per capsule. Of relevant importance is the different form of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, in Omegor Vitality they are in the form of triglycerides which allows optimal absorption at the level of the intestinal mucosa while minimizing any fishy smell. In fact, the triglyceride form allows for greater digestibility, greater bioavailability, no unpleasant returning effects. Several studies have shown better bioavailability and metabolism of fatty acids in triglyceride (TG) form than in ethyl ester (EE) form. To confirm this theory, a group of researchers led by J. Schuchardt of Leibniz Universitat in Hannover, Germany, conducted a study in patients with dyslipidemia. The results showed superior physiological effects in taking omega-3 EPA and DHA in the TG form compared with the EE form. You can find more information at this link.

Another research conducted by Schuchardt and colleagues published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2010, showed that the concentration of omega-3 EPA and DHAdetectablein humanblood after taking omega-3 supplements, increases by 70% precisely if the actives are taken in the form of Triglyceride. You can find more information at this link.

In addition, the triglyceride form is more easily absorbed and better utilized by thebody as shown by Jorn Dyerberg and colleagues in studies conducted at the University of Copenhagen and Aalborg Hospital (Denmark). You can find more information at this link. 

Insight into Omegor Vitality 1000: a supplement based on omega-3 EPA and DHA and vitamin E. It obtains on each batch the 5-star IFOS(International Fish Oil Standards) certification, a prestigious award that certifies on each marketed batch the concentration of EPA and DHA active ingredients, purity and freshness of Omega-3 fish oil supplements. The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA help to maintain:

• normal heart function with daily intake of 250 mg (1 capsule of Omegor Vitality 1000)
• normal blood triglyceride levels with daily intake of 2000 mg (3 capsules of Omegor Vitality 1000)
• normal blood pressure with daily intake of 3000 mg (4 capsules of Omegor Vitality 1000)

While the omega-3 fatty acid DHA helps to maintain:

• visual capacity and good brain function with daily intake of 250 mg (1 capsule of Omegor Vitality 1000).

Natural vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) helps protect cells from oxidative stress and preserves the characteristics of fish oil. In light of the above, I recommend 3 capsules per day of Omegor Vitality 1000 in close proximity to a main meal. This way you will get the (best) physiological benefit you need.
