True Omegas+ origin story

3 Min read

At Ancient + Brave, we’ve always believed that true wellness means nurturing both your body and the planet. Every product we create is guided by this philosophy, and our newest innovation, True Omegas+, is no exception. I’ve long valued the unique benefits of omega fatty acids, using them as a cornerstone of my own health ritual for as long as I can remember. Sharing True Omegas+ feels like letting you in on one of my best-kept wellness secrets. Carefully crafted from a blend of nourishing, plant-based omega fatty acids, True Omegas+ is thoughtfully designed to close a gap in today's diet — with omega-3 and omega-7 from plant and algae sources. This is more than just a supplement—it’s a commitment to supporting your health across every life stage with clean, conscious choices.

What Are Omega Fatty Acids?

Omega fatty acids are the unsung heroes of our bodies. At their core, they are the building blocks of the healthy fats that make up our body and are also found in some of the foods we eat. They’re not just a source of energy; they’re fundamental to the structure and function of our cells, ensuring they work optimally, acting as signalling molecules, and even controlling how our genes are expressed.

Think of fatty acids as small yet powerful molecules that work behind the scenes to keep your body running smoothly, nurturing you at the cellular level. There are different types of fatty acids, each with its own specific role. True Omegas+ contains two of the most important ones Omega 3 and Omega 7. 

Omega 3 - The Essential Omega 

Omega-3 fatty acids are classified as “essential” because the body cannot produce them—we must obtain them from our diet. At Ancient + Brave, we’ve sourced our omega-3 from Life’s OMEGA™—an advanced algae oil that doesn't rely on fishing and delivers the highest purity of the two most critical forms eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). This innovation allows us to bypass traditional fish oil, reducing strain on marine ecosystems while delivering exceptional potency and purity.

Both EPA and DHA support whole-body health as well as offering unique benefits. DHA is a key component of the brain supporting cognitive performance and mental well-being. DHA is also integral to the health of your eyes, helping to maintain normal vision, something that becomes more important as we age. EPA is a key anti-inflammatory fatty acid which is very important for optimal immune function. Together with DHA, it contributes to heart health and cardiovascular function by maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and promoting healthy blood circulation.

The Omega-7 Advantage

While omega-3s often take the spotlight, omega-7 fatty acids are the unsung heroes of cellular repair and hydration. Omega-7s are rare in our diets but have long been revered for their health benefits. Derived from sea buckthorn, our omega-7 formulation is rich in palmitoleic acid, the most important omega-7. It offers a unique set of benefits including nourishing and rejuvenating the skin from within, promoting hydration, elasticity, and a natural glow. Omega-7 enhances the hydration and resilience of mucous membranes, benefiting respiratory, vaginal and digestive health. Palmitoleic Acid encourages and supports collagen synthesis, making it an amazing ally for your daily collagen ritual.  

Synergy in every capsule

What makes True Omegas+ truly exceptional is its first-of-its-kind to blend both omega-3 and omega-7 fatty acids together, harnessing that they are uniquely designed to work in harmony for unparalleled health benefits. By combining these two powerhouse nutrients, True Omegas+ creates a synergistic effect—targeting foundational aspects of health while amplifying the benefits of each individual fatty acid.

Think of this balanced blend as nature’s unique toolkit—helping your body thrive at the cellular level and beyond. True Omegas+ is more than just a supplement; it’s a pioneering approach to holistic whole-body health.

Missing Link in Modern Nutrition

Modern diets are increasingly deficient in omega-3 and omega-7 fatty acids. For omega-3s, the primary dietary source has traditionally been oily fish, but with fish consumption on the decline due to dietary preferences, cost, and sustainability concerns, many of us are falling short. Conventional fish oil supplements come with challenges, from environmental impact and overfishing to concerns about purity and heavy metal contamination. Similarly, omega-7s are rare in the typical diet, found only in select foods like sea buckthorn and macadamia nuts.

True Omegas+ bridges this nutritional gap with a sustainable, plant-based solution. By harnessing the power of advanced algae omega-3 oil technology and the hydrating, skin-nurturing properties of sea buckthorn, we’ve created a formula that delivers potent benefits which does not rely on fishing. This is more than just supplementation—it’s a reimagined approach to modern nutrition that prioritises personal health.
