About Omegor Vitality: nutritional values, how to take it, help against cholesterol
Good morning, I would like to purchase Omegor Vitality but I have a few questions: - Are the nutritional values on the website referring to a 500 mg or 1000 mg capsule? - Are the capsules soluble and can I swallow them whole or should I open them? - When should I take them? Before meals or on an empty stomach? They were recommended to me to lower cholesterol levels. Thank you.
Dear Giada,
Here is the answer to your question.
Nutritional values of Omegor Vitality
The nutritional values reported on the website refer to one capsule of Omegor Vitality 1000. In Omegor Vitality 500 the quantities are halved, consequently the capsules are smaller.
How to take
The capsules have a soft gelatin coating and should be swallowed. Alternatively, it is possible to:
- chew them and then discard the coating;
- pierce them and take the oil separately;
- pierce them and mix the oil with yogurt or spreadable cheeses.
It is preferable to take the capsules before a main meal to promote absorption and digestibility of the product. Please note that Omega-3 fatty acids are not particularly effective in reducing total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, but mainly influence blood concentrations of HDL and triglycerides.
Omega-3 supplements for cholesterol
The product I recommend to reduce cholesterol levels is Cardiol, a formulation that combines Omega-3 (450 mg/capsule) with red yeast rice, policosanols and other active ingredients with greater specificity against hypercholesterolemia. Cardiol is a supplement formulated to ensure overall cardiovascular health by acting on multiple fronts:
- the Omega-3 present help reduce blood triglycerides, promote an increase in "good" HDL cholesterol and stabilize heart rate and rhythm;
- red yeast rice, bioflavonoids, policosanols, tocotrienols and vitamin B3 work synergistically to effectively reduce LDL cholesterol;
- folic acid and vitamin B12 help reduce plasma homocysteine levels.
The recommended dose for Cardiol is 1 capsule per day, preferably before dinner. The package contains 30 capsules sufficient for one month of treatment. Cardiol can also be associated with 1-2 capsules of Omegor Vitality 1000: this way it increases the daily intake of Omega-3 fatty acids. Please feel free to contact us again for any further questions.
Best regards.
