Omega-3 nutrition for women's wellbeing

zoe Omega Essence combines fish-derived omega-3 fatty acids with vitamin E in a formula developed for women. Its composition brings together two distinct nutritional components: the long-chain fatty acids EPA and DHA, and an antioxidant vitamin that contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Understanding EPA and DHA

Omega-3 is a family of fatty acids that includes alpha-linolenic acid, known as ALA, eicosapentaenoic acid, known as EPA, and docosahexaenoic acid, known as DHA. These names describe different nutrients within the same family. Fish and seafood provide EPA and DHA, while plant oils, nuts and seeds are familiar dietary sources of ALA.

The body can convert some ALA into EPA and subsequently into DHA, but this conversion is limited. Fish oil therefore provides a direct dietary source of the two long-chain omega-3s. Omega Essence contains both, with their individual quantities clearly identified in its nutritional information.

Clearly identified fish oil content

The formula provides 2,000 mg of fish oil per serving, including 660 mg EPA and 440 mg DHA. Together, these two fatty acids account for 1,100 mg. Distinguishing the total fish oil quantity from the amounts of EPA and DHA helps explain the composition more precisely when comparing omega-3 products.

EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart. Beyond this nutritional role, omega-3 fatty acids are components of the membranes surrounding the body's cells. DHA is particularly concentrated in the brain and the retina, illustrating why individual omega-3 fatty acids have distinct roles within human nutrition.

Vitamin E and antioxidant protection

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble nutrient with an antioxidant role. It helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are produced during normal processes such as converting food into energy. Environmental exposure, including air pollution and ultraviolet light, can also contribute to free radical formation.

Vitamin E occurs naturally in foods including vegetable oils, nuts and seeds. Sunflower seeds, almonds and hazelnuts are examples, while vegetables such as spinach and broccoli also provide some of this nutrient. Its presence in food and supplements forms part of a wider picture of varied nutrition.

A complementary formula in softgel form

Omega Essence contains vitamin E as DL-alpha-tocopherol, alongside the fish oil. The softgel shell consists of gelatin, glycerine and purified water. The product is manufactured in the EU using primary ingredients of EU and non-EU origin, with the finished capsules supplied in a recyclable glass bottle.
