Overview
We’ve set the absolute advantage
Excessive amounts of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and a very high omega-6/omega-3 ratio are challenging factors in Western diets, promoting the pathogenesis of many diseases, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. For this reason, omega 3 supplementation and a proper omega-6/omega-3 balance are protective factors.1
Extracted from Vaccinum mirtillus berry seeds, OMEGABLUE® is a source of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, well-known for their tangible supportive action on cardiovascular system wellbeing.
OMEGABLUE® into action
OMEGABLUE® is a standardized CO2 extract constituted by more than 80% of total fatty acids and more than 50% of total polyunsaturated fatty acids such as Alfa Linolenic Acid (ALA, omega-3) and linoleic acid (LA, omega-6).
EFSA (European Food Safety Agency) has approved several claims highlighting the positive effects of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids on cardiovascular system, for example ALA contributes to the maintenance of normal cholesterol levels.2
