The OmegaPlus differs from a simple fish oil in two points. Firstly, it uses specific certified raw material, VivoMega 3624, and not anonymous oil. Secondly, it combines fish oil with three dry plant extracts, from red grape fruits, olive leaves and sesame seeds.
It is aimed at anyone who, before looking at the price, wants to know where the oil they are taking comes from and who has checked it. The 60-capsule package is the size that suits a first period of use.
The VivoMega 3624 is produced by GC Rieber Oils, a fish oil producer based in Kristiansand, Norway and internationally recognized in the industry. It is a concentrated oil, that is, an oil that has undergone molecular distillation so that the omega 3 content is increased and unwanted impurities are removed. The producer complies with the EU framework for ensuring the quality and purity of fish oils.
An omega-3 fatty acid that the body does not produce sufficiently on its own and is mainly obtained from fatty fish. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart.* The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250mg EPA and DHA.
The correct name for DHA in Greek is docosahexaenoic acid, from the 22 carbon atoms and six double bonds of its molecule. You will often find it written incorrectly, so it is worth knowing when comparing preparations. DHA contributes to the maintenance of the normal function of the brain and the maintenance of normal vision.* The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250mg DHA.
Red grape, fruit of Vitis vinifera, contains polyphenols such as anthocyanins, flavonoids and stilbenes, with resveratrol being the best known. It is one of the most studied botanicals in the nutritional literature.**
The leaves of Olea europaea are rich in secoiridoids, mainly hydroxytyrosol, the compound responsible for their characteristic bitterness. The infusion of olive leaves has a long traditional use in the Mediterranean.**
Sesame, Sesamum indicum, contains the lignans sesamin and sesamolin. In food technology, sesame lignans are studied for their behavior against the oxidation of oils.**
The International Fish Oil Standards program is an independent testing and certification program exclusively for fish oils. It checks each batch for actual EPA and DHA content, for heavy metals, for dioxins and PCBs, as well as for oxidation indices, i.e. for how fresh the oil is. The 5-star rating is the highest on the scale and has been awarded to each batch of OmegaPlus. In practice, this means that you are not relying solely on the manufacturer's statement but also on a third-party check.
It is an independent body that analyzes samples from each batch of fish oil. It interests you because the purity of a fish oil is not visible in color or taste, it is only visible in the laboratory.
Follow the instructions on the package. Prefer taking it with a meal, so that the oil digests smoothly.
They are plant components with a rich polyphenolic content, which we have described above. We do not attribute any action to them, because health claims for botanicals remain under evaluation by the EFSA.**
