Why Omegor Vitality as an omega-3 supplement?
Good morning, I am writing to ask if I can take Omegor Vitality instead of Esapent or Olevia. I take 2 capsules a day of these, how many should I take of your Omegor Vitality1000?
Dear Andrea,
Olevia and Esapent 1000 contain ethyl esters of polyunsaturated fatty acids 1000 mg with an EPA and DHA content of not less than 85% and in a ratio of 0.9:1.5. That is, a content of no less than 850 mg of EPA+DHA per capsule. Omegor Vitality 1000 contains triglycerides of polyunsaturated fatty acids 900 mg and 80% EPA and DHA in a ratio of 2:1. That is, a content of no less than 800 mg of EPA+DHA per capsule. Of relevant importance is the different form of omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA; in Omegor Vitality they are in triglyceride form which allows optimal absorption at the intestinal mucosa level minimizing any fishy aftertaste. In fact, the triglyceride form allows greater digestibility, higher bioavailability, and no unpleasant reflux. Several studies have demonstrated better bioavailability and metabolism of fatty acids in triglyceride (TG) form rather than in ethyl ester (EE) form. Confirming this theory, a research group led by J. Schuchardt of Leibniz University of Hannover (Germany) conducted a study on patients with dyslipidemia. The results highlighted the superiority of physiological effects in the intake of omega-3 EPA and DHA in TG form compared to EE form. You can find more information at this link.
Another study conducted by Schuchardt and colleagues published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2010 demonstrated that the concentration of omega-3 EPA and DHAdetectable in human blood after taking omega-3 supplements increases by 70% precisely when the actives are taken in Triglyceride form.

Furthermore, the triglyceride form is more easily absorbed and better utilizedby the body as demonstrated by Jorn Dyerberg and colleagues in studies conducted at the University of Copenhagen and Aalborg Hospital (Denmark). You can find more information at this link.
Details on Omegor Vitality 1000: a supplement based on omega-3 EPA and DHA and vitamin E. It obtains 5-star certification on every batch by IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards), a prestigious recognition that certifies on every marketed batch the concentration of active ingredients EPA and DHA, purity, and freshness of Omega-3 fish oil supplements. Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA contribute to maintaining:
- normal cardiac function with a daily intake of 250 mg (1 capsule of Omegor Vitality 1000)
- normal blood triglyceride levels with a daily intake of 2000 mg (3 capsules of Omegor Vitality 1000)
- normal blood pressure with a daily intake of 3000 mg (4 capsules of Omegor Vitality 1000)
While omega-3 fatty acid DHA contributes to maintaining:
- visual ability and brain function in good condition with a daily intake of 250 mg (1 capsule of Omegor Vitality 1000).
Natural vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) contributes to protecting cells from oxidative stress and preserves the characteristics of fish oil. In light of the above, I recommend 3 capsules a day of Omegor Vitality 1000 close to a main meal. In this way, you will obtain the (best) physiological benefit you need.
Best regards,
Beatrice Iozzino, pharmacist
