Most frequently asked questions
When to take Omega-3: before or after meals?
During. To optimize the absorption of Omega-3, we recommend taking supplements during meals that contain a source of fat. This not only helps reduce any gastric discomfort, but also improves the assimilation of nutrients.
Is it risky to take Omega-3 during pregnancy?
Not at all! Omega-3s, especially DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), are essential for the development of the baby's brain and retina and also help the mother in the prevention of postpartum depression. In this very special phase of your life, we recommend taking a specific product for pregnancy, such as VitaDHA maternal .
Can children take Omega-3?
Of course. Omega-3s are precious allies for the growth and development of the little ones: they support their cognitive functions, eye health and the immune system. We have specific formulations for children, such as VitaDHA in vials , a supplement designed to be well tolerated by very sensitive subjects, such as pregnant women and children of pediatric age.
What is the difference between fish-derived and plant-derived Omega-3s?
To answer this question we must begin to better understand, by name, some essential fatty acids. Omega-3 of animal origin (mainly derived from fish) directly contain EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), two acids precious for our well-being.
Plant-based Omega-3s (from algae or flaxseed) instead contain ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), which the body must convert into EPA and DHA. This conversion is not always efficient, which is why animal-based Omega-3s are generally considered more bioavailable, and therefore easier to absorb.
However, for people who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, plant-based sources remain an excellent support.
