WHY 9 out of 10 ALL OMEGA-3 PREPARATIONS WITHOUT POLYPHENOLS DO NOT WORK?

WHY 90% OF ALL OMEGA-3 SUPPLEMENTS WITHOUT POLYPHENOLS DO NOT WORK

Omega-3 supplements often do not work because they lack polyphenols, which prevent the oxidation of the sensitive fatty acids and improve their absorption. To identify the right supplements, look for high quality as evidenced by a low TOTOX value (below 26 recommended, below 10 ideal) and the presence of polyphenols or other antioxidants. Other criteria include the correct form of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA in triglyceride or phospholipid form) and freedom from contaminants such as heavy metals and pesticides.
Why polyphenols are important:
- Omega-3 fatty acids are sensitive and oxidize easily.
- Polyphenols act as antioxidants that reduce oxidation.
- Preventing oxidation improves the quality and stability of the oil.
- They can optimize the absorption of fatty acids in the body and ensure the desired health benefits.
What you should look out for when choosing:
- Free from harmful substances: Ensure that the product is free from harmful substances such as heavy metals, dioxins and pesticides.
- TOTOX value: Ensure that the TOTOX value (Total Oxidation) is as low as possible. A value below 26 is a must, below 10 is ideal. A low value indicates that the oil is fresh.
- Polyphenols/antioxidants: Look for supplements that contain polyphenols or other antioxidants to protect the omega-3 fatty acids.
- Form of the fatty acids: Choose supplements that provide omega-3 fatty acids in their natural triglyceride (from fish oil) or phospholipid (from krill) form. These forms are better absorbed by the body.
The scientific truth behind it:



Studies show that omega-3 supplements without sufficient antioxidants (at least 400 ppm polyphenols) oxidize after just a few hours, lose their biological effect and can even have a pro-oxidant effect, which explains the lack of positive effects in many clinical studies.
