Adolescence: How to support kids with Omega-3?

Dear Silvana,


During adolescence and developmental phases, it is an excellent choice to supplement young people’s diet with omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are indeed essential nutrients for the proper composition of the membranes of all our cells, and we are all effectively deficient due to today’s dietary habits.


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


  • With just one Vitality 1000 capsule you ensure the daily intake of EPA and DHA omega-3s needed for important biological effects in our body;
  • A higher dosage than one capsule can support the fight against silent inflammation or in those who do sports (2-3 capsules/day),
  • and also to rebalance the lipid profile, since 2 g per day of EPA and DHA—equal to 4 capsules—can help control normal blood triglyceride levels.


Regarding the most suitable supplementation for your daughter, to best support her concentration abilities and help her face school and sports commitments, I recommend the possibility to alternate cyclically Omegor Vitality 1000 with Omegor Mind, as you yourself suggested. Omegor Mind provides a complete supplementation for:


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


Indeed, in addition to a sufficient dose of omega-3 EPA and DHA, Omegor Mind also contains: omega-6 GLA from borage oil; a clinically tested extract of Bacopa monnieri — Bacomind®; optimal levels of all B-group vitamins; zinc and vitamin C.


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

The recommended dosage for Omegor Mind is 2 capsules per day.


I remain available for further information.
