Daily Dosage of Omega-3 in the Zone Diet
Good morning, I am a person following the Zone Diet (I suffer from obesity). I intend to try your products: so far I have used Enerzona 1-gram capsules taking 4 per day; if I buy your 1-gram tablets, can I keep the same dosage? Thank you in advance.
Dear Simona,
Our Omegor Vitality is a very pure and concentrated supplement where the Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are in the form of re-esterified triglycerides (rTG). In the product you currently use, they are present in the form of ethyl esters (EE).
Several scientific studies have shown that rTG is absorbed 70% better than EE. For the Zone Diet, a daily intake of 2.5 grams of Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA is recommended: with a daily dose of 3 to 4 pearls of Omegor Vitality you can meet this need. Three pearls contain 1.89 grams of EPA+DHA (630 milligrams per pearl), which thanks to the better absorption of the triglyceride form equals about 3.213 grams of EPA+DHA compared to products in EE form.
The pearls can be taken all at once or at different times of the day, shortly before or during a main meal to improve absorption and digestibility of the product.
Best regards,
Dr. Rosaria Ramondino Pharmacist and Pharmaceutical Chemist
