Information and differences between Omegor Vitality and VitaDHA
1) Can Vita DHA also be taken by adults? How does it differ from Omegor Vitality?
2) Omegor Vitality 1000 mg: what is the recommended daily dose?
3) Are Vita DHA and Omegor Vitality complementary or is one a substitute for the other?
Thank you and best regards
Dear Raffaele,
VitaDHA is a liquid formulation with 1250 mg of DHA and 360 mg of EPA, lemon-flavored.
The ratio favors DHA: supplementation with this Omega-3 fatty acid is especially useful in certain situations and life stages. It is particularly indicated for children’s nutrition in cases of various inflammatory diseases and/or neurobehavioral disorders such as:
- ADHD
- hyperactivity
- dyslexia
- developmental disorders
- anxiety
DHA is also essential for proper vision function, in both children and adults, as it is a key component of the photoreceptors in the retina. In adults, it is used to slow the progression of retinitis pigmentosa. DHA intake is also recommended:
- during pregnancy, to ensure optimal nervous system development of the fetus;
- during breastfeeding, when a woman’s DHA stores drop sharply, increasing the risk of postpartum depression.
The recommended dosage is 1 sachet per day, to be taken alone or mixed with plain or citrus yogurt. Omegor Vitality is a highly purified fish oil supplement. Each capsule contains 420 mg of EPA and 210 mg of DHA in the form of highly absorbable and digestible triglycerides. The EPA to DHA ratio in this case is 2:1, an ideal proportion of the two Omega-3 fatty acids for:
- promoting cardiovascular health by balancing HDL cholesterol and triglycerides;
- reducing inflammation, which in some cases is subclinical and manifests as various symptoms such as headaches, malaise, dry skin, digestive issues, anxiety, and depression.
The recommended dose for Omegor Vitality 1000 is 1–2 capsules per day, to be taken shortly before a main meal. I remain at your disposal for further clarification.
Kind regards,
Dr. Rosaria Ramondino Pharmacist and Pharmaceutical Chemist
