Are there any Omega-3 supplements to improve mood?
Dear Martina,
Since you did not provide much information, I suggest several options:
- VitaDHA
- Omegor Twinefa
- Omegor Krill
VitaDHA
VitaDHA is a high-DHA supplement available in convenient single-dose sachets that preserve freshness and flavor over time. The oil is purified and deodorized with a pleasant lemon taste. Each sachet contains 1250 mg of DHA and 360 mg of EPA. This high dose of DHA in natural triglyceride form, the most stable and digestible, is particularly indicated to improve nerve transmission and the central production of important eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are mediators of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, whose balance influences a person’s emotional state. It also helps reduce inflammation, which in some cases is subclinical and manifests through various symptoms:
- headaches
- malaise
- dry skin
- digestive disorders
- anxiety
- depression
You can take half a sachet per day or one whole sachet every other day. The oil can be taken alone or added to plain yogurt or citrus fruits. To avoid any aftertaste, it is preferable to store the sachets in the freezer.
Omegor Twinefa
Omegor Twinefa is a fish oil-based supplement, rich in Omega-3, and borage oil, a source of Omega-6 GLA. Several scientific studies have shown that the combination of Omega-3 and Omega-6 is particularly useful to:
- ensure proper skin nourishment;
- perform an effective anti-inflammatory action;
- balance mood.
The oil contained in Twinefa capsules is deodorized and flavored with orange, making it very pleasant. You can pierce the capsules and take the oil alone or add it to plain yogurt or citrus fruits. I recommend taking 2 capsules of Omegor Twinefa daily, preferably with a main meal.
Omegor Krill
Omegor Krill is a supplement based on pure lipid extract of krill, indicated for states of psychophysical stress and to promote better concentration. Krill oil is a complex of Omega-3 EPA and DHA fatty acids in phospholipid form and the carotenoid Astaxanthin. It allows benefiting from the preventive anti-inflammatory effect of Omega-3s as well as the powerful antioxidant action of Astaxanthin. The inconvenience in this case is that the product is available in capsules that cannot be opened. The recommended dosage is 2 capsules per day to be taken before a meal. I hope this has been helpful and invite you to contact us again for any further questions.
Kind regards,
Dr. Rosaria Ramondino Pharmacist and Pharmaceutical Chemist.
