Omegor Antiage: how to take it correctly?

Good evening, I have been using your Omegor Antiage for about 2 months: I would like to know if it is correct to interrupt it occasionally and if so, for how long. I would also like to know if it is incompatible or useless to associate it with Omegor Twinefa, since I read it can be useful in menopause. I have been in menopause for 5 years and do not have particular symptoms, I do not do replacement therapies, except for phytoestrogens. Thank you, best regards.

Dear Michela,

Omegor Antiage can be very helpful in counteracting the signs and symptoms of menopause.

The combination of antioxidants, Omega-3, and gamma-linolenic acid from borage oil helps to:

  • slow down skin aging (loss of elasticity, dryness, etc.);
  • promote good mood;
  • reduce hot flashes.

An Italian clinical study (Campagnoli et al., 2005), conducted as a double-blind placebo-controlled trial for 24 weeks, showed a significant reduction in hot flashes following supplementation with fish oil and borage oil. According to the researchers, this result is due to the stabilizing effect of polyunsaturated fatty acids on the membranes of nervous system cells. The Omega-3 EPA, DHA and GLA fatty acids influence the serotonergic system that regulates the hypothalamic centers of thermoregulation, allowing a reduction in hot flashes.

The Omega-3 and GLA combination also helps reduce levels of inflammatory prostaglandins (e.g., PGE2), hormones responsible for bone resorption. These contribute to mood imbalance and the onset of various skin disorders:

  • dryness
  • eczema
  • psoriasis

EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids are also very important for maintaining normal heart functions (250 milligrams per day), parameters not to be underestimated especially when a woman enters menopause. Having said this, I believe it is not necessary to interrupt the treatment.

If you prefer to follow breaks, I recommend each intake cycle lasts at least 2-3 months: this way you allow the active ingredients to exert their action and make interruptions of maximum 1 month. The daily Omega-3 intake can be increased by combining Omegor Antiage with up to 2 pearls of Omegor Vitality 1000, a simpler and highly concentrated formulation of EPA and DHA fatty acids.

The Vitality pearls should be taken shortly before a main meal, even in combination with Omegor Antiage. I hope I have been helpful and I invite you to contact us again for any further information.

Best regards.
