Health professionals and consumers are still largely unaware of recent advances in omega-3 research.
OM3's objective is to inform them about the different omega-3s and their reciprocal roles.
Modern nutrition has highlighted the fact that our dietary behavior does not allow us to achieve an adequate balance in terms of vitamins, certain minerals and monounsaturated fatty acids. The food production and catering industries offer us a highly satisfactory diet when it comes to our perceived needs, but this is to the detriment of the overall nutritional balance we receive.
The effects on health are numerous, but the leading developed nations are reacting positively in this area, by educating people to adopt healthier eating habits. Supplementation, which ensures that the right ingredients are consumed in the right doses, is a rapidly growing field.
Scientific research is constantly refining its understanding of the metabolic mechanisms and their epidemiological consequences.
In the 90s, all the talk was about essential fatty acids, the distinct roles of omega-3s and omega-6s, and achieving the right balance between these substances in the body.
In the following decade, scientific research enabled the functions of the omega-3 family's various molecules to be identified.
Today, it is inaccurate to talk about omega-3s in general, as some perform better than others and they have different roles. The cheapest and most common ALA displays a low bio-equivalence compared to DHA and EPA. That is why it is the most frequently used by the food industry and too many dietary-supplement manufacturers.
Our laboratory provides considerable subsidies to public research so as to improve our understanding of EPA and DHA. These studies are and will continue to be published in leading scientific journals so that the results may benefit as many people as possible.
Thanks to this research, OM3 has developed dietary supplements in collaboration with top scientific experts.
Our formulas are tested in clinical studies performed in hospitals, in the form of double-blind placebo-controlled trials.
Our manufacturing processes meet the most stringent quality standards, while the concentrations we achieve are the highest on the market.
Our capsules are small, making them easier to take.
Our blister packs offer optimum protection against oxidation.
