Cardiol® Forte was born from an ambitious vision: to create a formula that addresses cardiovascular wellness from every angle. Not just a simple supplement, then, but a comprehensive solution that combines the best of scientific research and nature.
At the heart of the formula, EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids from ultrapurified fish oil combine with monacolins from fermented red rice. But it is in the synergy with the other components that Cardiol® Forte reveals its uniqueness: artichoke extract offers dual support for lipid profile and liver function, while olive polyphenols, rich in hydroxytyrosol, protect LDL cholesterol from oxidation.
The formula is further enhanced by the presence of coenzyme Q10, vitamin E, and folic acid, with piperine optimizing absorption.
Benefits
We have selected each ingredient in Cardiol® Forte not only for its individual efficacy, but for its role in the overall synergy. As in an orchestra, here each ingredient contributes to comprehensive and scientifically advanced cardiovascular protection.
EPA and DHA
The long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA and DHA are key nutrients for heart health. Daily intake of 250 mg of these valuable fatty acids contributes to normal heart function*.
Artichoke Extract
Obtained from the leaves of the artichoke Cynara cardunculus L., this powdered extract is rich in chlorogenic acid and luteolin 7-glucoside, and offers dual benefits: it supports the lipid profile while protecting the liver. Its biophenols and flavonoids work synergistically to optimize lipid metabolism.
Fermented Red Rice
Through a sophisticated process of fermenting rice (Oryza sativa L.) with the fungus Monascus purpureus, we obtain monacolines, natural substances that play a key role in cholesterol metabolism.
Olive polyphenols
Not all polyphenols are equal. Those in the olive tree, particularly hydroxytyrosol and its derivative oleuropein, are true champions of antioxidation. Scientific studies have demonstrated their unique ability: they penetrate cells and protect LDL cholesterol (the "bad cholesterol") from oxidation. Their effectiveness is astounding: just 5 mg per day-exactly what is in each Cardiol® Forte capsule-is enough to achieve significant benefits.
Coenzyme Q10
This powerful oxidative reduction agent directs energy production in the mitochondria, the energy powerhouses of our cells. It converts nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy that powers every cellular function. Scientific research has revealed an interesting finding: its presence is especially valuable when combined with the monacolins in fermented red rice.
The supporting trio:
- Folic acid (vitamin B9): in addition to its role in homocysteine metabolism, it is an ally for cardiovascular health*.
- Vitamin E: a true "scavenger" of free radicals, protects your cells from oxidative stress*.
- Piperine: increases absorption of all nutrients, with a special affinity for coenzyme Q10.

FAQ
-
At what age can you start taking Omegor supplements?+
In principle, there are no age limits for starting or stopping omega-3 fatty acid dietary supplementation. In any case, the capsules and thus the recommended doses are designed for healthy men of about 70 kg but can be adjusted individually according to weight, specific functional needs, and any disease states specific to the subject.

How can the effects produced by omega-3s be measured?+
The main purpose of OMEGOR Omega-3 supplementation is to prevent a dietary deficit of essential fatty acids by going about restoring physiological levels of these essential substances in our cells. Our bodies are very greedy for these vital fatty acids. To evaluate the effects produced by Omega-3 OMEGOR, in addition to interpreting the beneficial signals sent by our body, one can measure the improvement of so-called "cardiac coherence" or even monitor the presence of these fatty acids in the blood. First, one could do a normal fasting plasma lipid test, to be repeated after two to three months of treatment, and calculate the ratio of triglycerides to "good" (HDL) cholesterol, i.e., (TG/HDL): simply take the value of triglycerides and divide it by that of HDL cholesterol. In some studies, it has been observed that a ratio of triglycerides to HDL of less than 2 indicates a lower relative risk of heart disease. It would be useful to evaluate the evolution of this value before and after the supplementation period by consulting with your primary care physician. In addition, there is a new blood test that measures the ratio of arachidonic acid to eicosapentaenoic acid (AA/EPA). It is advisable to perform this test two to three months after the start of treatment. Studies on the Japanese population, which has the highest average life span among industrialized countries, have shown that a value of this ratio between approximately 1 and 3 correlates with excellent functional balance and health status. Recently it has been highlighted by the work of Harris WS and von Schacky C that measurement of the amount of EPA+DHA , as the percentage of total fatty acids present in red blood cell membranes in the blood ("Omega-3 Index") can give important premonitory information of clinical relevance regarding the risk of death from cardiovascular disease.
-
Can Omega-3s be helpful for multiple sclerosis?+
Results of studies that specifically measured the effect of Omega-3s on multiple sclerosis have shown that Omega-3s improve the symptoms of patients with the condition. This is generally true for all auto-immune diseases, contributing to a better balance of the immune system. While there are no particular side effects to be feared in using Omega-3s for multiple sclerosis, it should be emphasized that the results could be moderate but still potentially significant such as reducing the necessary doses of anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive drugs after a few months of treatment; all clearly under the supervision of the treating physician.
-
What are the effects of Omega-3 on cholesterol and triglycerides?+
At high dosages, EPA and DHA have a powerful and well-demonstrated triglyceride-lowering effect. Supplementation with EPA/DHA of 1 to 3 grams per day provides a quantifiable reduction in blood serum triglycerides. There is a dose-response relationship, that is, the greater the amount of EPA/DHA taken, the greater the triglyceride-reducing effect. In some studies, it has been observed that an amount of 1 gram of EPA+DHA taken regularly produces a decrease in triglycerides of about 20 percent in some subjects. A reduction on the order of 25-30% was obtained with a larger dose (>4 grams). EPA and DHA at the same time change other lipid parameters (LDL, VLDL, HDL). In particular, intake of about 3 grams produces an increase in HDL values (the "good" cholesterol) and a reduction, but more modestly, in total "bad" cholesterol values (VLDL + LDL).
-
Can one become addicted to omega-3 supplements?+
EPA and DHA supplements are not drugs or artificial molecules, but rather dietary supplements that renew the body's essential fatty acid reserves in cases of dietary deficiency and/or increased need for these nutrients. Abrupt discontinuation of treatment has no adverse effect except the risk of letting physiological reserves gradually decline again in the absence of a diet sufficiently rich in Omega-3.
-
Do omega-3s play a preventive role?+
First, it is important to differentiate the concept of primary prevention from that of secondary prevention. The latter refers to those patients who have already had an initial cardiovascular "alert." Most clinical trials carried out employing Omega-3 fatty acids have considered precisely this type of patient. In this regard, Omega-3s have been widely shown to reduce the risk of even sudden cardiovascular mortality (GISSI Prevention). Further studies, carried out in healthy patients without previous episodes of cardiac phenomena (primary prevention studies), have demonstrated a beneficial influence of Omega-3s with regard to normal cardiovascular function.
-
Is taking omegor omega-3 supplements fattening?+
The short answer is no. In fact, each 1-gram capsule of OMEGOR Vitality has just over 10 calories. Three 1-gram capsules of OMEGOR Vitality therefore contain about 32 calories and that is the equivalent of half an apple. Several studies on rats suggest that Omega-3s actually reduce the formation and size of fat cells (adipocytes). Moreover, Omega-3s are mainly used as constituents of cell membranes, not for energy purposes. For these reasons, taking OMEGOR Vitality is not fattening; in fact, the opposite is true.
-
What may be the side effects of omega-3?+
The most common side effect of Omega-3 supplements is the possible fishy aftertaste; however, this can easily be eliminated by using small tricks such as taking the capsules just before a meal and/or possibly splitting the doses. As an example, if you take three capsules a day, it is advisable to take one immediately before each main meal. In some people Omega-3s can speed up intestinal transit. During the first week of treatment it is rare but possible for stools to be soft and diarrheal episodes to occur; in this case simply reduce doses for one or two weeks as appropriate and then try the initial dose again to test for increased tolerability. In other, rarer cases, Omega-3s may facilitate the appearance of bruising since, like aspirin, they interfere with certain mechanisms of blood clotting (platelet aggregation). This is generally considered one of their main beneficial effects that results in reducing the risk of heart attack or cerebrovascular complications. It could, however, pose a problem for those people predisposed to bruising or who use anti-coagulant drugs of which Omega-3s could potentiate the effect. In such cases, it is advisable to consult your doctor before starting Omega-3 supplementation.
-
Can Omega-3s be taken during pregnancy?+
A Danish study suggests that women with an Omega-3-rich diet during pregnancy deliver babies with "healthier" birth weights and are less often subject to premature births. Omega-3s are known to play an important role in the development of the nervous system of the fetus and infant, and women with an Omega-3-deficient diet during pregnancy face an increased risk of postpartum depression Authoritative confirmation of the need to ensure adequate intakes of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) during this delicate phase came recently (September 2005) from the European Consensus Conference on Recommendations for Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids for Pregnant and Lactating Women (PERILIP), whose aim was to improve guidelines on nutrition during the period of pregnancy and growth of the unborn child. Experts in nutrition, placental development and function, obstetrics and neonatology, led by Dr. Berthold Koletzko and Dr. Irene Cetin, concluded the work by recommending a minimum daily intake of 200mg DHA for pregnant and breastfeeding women. PERILIP highlighted the fact that intakes of up to 1g of DHA or 2.7g of long-chain omega-3 poly-unsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFAs) have been shown to be free of relevant side effects in various clinical trials. This recommendation may soon become part of the new official guidelines of the EU, which, among other things, funded the work of the aforementioned PERILIP conference.
-
Could excessive omega-3 consumption be dangerous?+
Starting with the fact that overconsumption of Omega-3 is considered to be those who have a diet already rich in Omega-3 combined with appropriate dietary supplementation. In such a situation, there is no risk from overdose. Suffice it to say that Eskimos living in Northern Quebec in Canada consume up to 16 grams of fish oil per day, and to date no adverse effect caused by such a dose of Omega-3 has been observed.
