True Omegas+

Omega 3 from algae and fish oil both provide the same essential fatty acids, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which are vital for heart, brain, and overall health. However, there are some key differences that make algae-derived omega 3 a standout choice.

Our omega 3 algae oil is 100% plant-based, making it suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Algae farming is a sustainable process which has minimal environmental impact. It’s grown in controlled environments, avoiding overfishing and preserving marine biodiversity. This also ensures our omega 3 is naturally free from contaminants and environmental pollutants. And importantly, algae is the original source of omega 3 in the marine food chain. Fish obtain their EPA and DHA by consuming algae. By going straight to the source, algae oil provides the same high-quality omega 3 without needing to harvest fish. Fish oil relies on the middle step (the fish consuming algae), which has higher environmental costs and loss of efficiency.

Algae oil has a neutral taste and doesn’t cause the “fishy burps” that many people experience with fish oil supplements.

Omega 3 from algae offers the same powerful health benefits as fish oil, including support for heart, brain, and eye health, but with added advantages: it’s vegan, sustainable, pure, and kind to the planet. By choosing algae-based omega 3, like in True Omega+, you’re making a healthier choice for yourself and the environment.

The time it takes to notice the benefits of True Omega+ can vary depending on your individual health, lifestyle, and the specific benefits you’re looking for. Here’s a closer look at what to expect with True Omega+:

Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid, which means our body cannot make it so we need to ensure consistent intake over time. Scientific studies suggest that the full benefits of omega 3 fatty acids, particularly for heart health and brain function, may take up to 120 days of consistent supplementation. This is because EPA and DHA gradually integrate into cell membranes, improving their flexibility and function over time.

The benefits of omega 7 on skin hydration and mucous membrane health can often be seen relatively quickly, sometimes within a few weeks of regular use. As omega 7 nourishes cells from within, improvements in skin elasticity and hydration may become noticeable, along with relief from localised dryness, such as dry eyes or vaginal atrophy, typically within 4–8 weeks.

Fatty acids like omega 3 and omega 7 work best when taken consistently as part of a daily routine. Their benefits build over time as they integrate into your body’s systems, promoting lasting health and resilience. For best results, we recommend taking True Omega+ daily and pairing it with a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Unlike most omega products, True Omegas+ provides comprehensive support by including omega 7, known for its hydrating and skin-nourishing properties. Formulated for optimal absorption and free from any fishy aftertaste, it’s the premium choice for advanced omega support.

True Omegas+ is formulated with high-quality, sustainably sourced omega 3 from algae and omega 7 from sea buckthorn oil, making it generally well-tolerated with minimal risk of side effects. However, as with any supplement, individual responses can vary. If you have any concerns or underlying health conditions, we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional before adding any new supplement to your routine.

Omega 3s, especially DHA, are crucial during pregnancy for fetal brain and eye development, but due to limited research on omega 7, we recommend consulting with your GP before taking True Omegas+ while pregnant to ensure it's the right choice for you.

True Omegas+ can be highly beneficial during breastfeeding. omega 3s, particularly DHA, support both maternal health and the development of your baby's brain and eyes. omega 7 also offers added support for skin hydration and inflammation, which can be helpful during the postnatal period. As always, if you have concerns, it’s best to speak with your healthcare provider before starting any supplement.

Yes, it may be appropriate to take more than the recommended dose of True Omegas+ if you have specific needs, such as managing an inflammatory condition, requiring extra brain or skin support, or addressing other health goals. However, it's important to do so mindfully and consult with your health consulant before increasing your intake, especially if you are managing a medical condition or taking other supplements or medications.

The recommended dose provides 300mg EPA, 150mg DHA, and 50mg omega 7. Studies suggest that doses of omega 3s are safe up to 3,000–5,000mg daily for most people.

Always prioritise guidance from a healthcare professional to ensure any adjustments are tailored to your specific needs and health profile.

Omega 7 is a lesser-known but incredibly beneficial fatty acid, often referred to as the “beauty omega.” It is a monounsaturated fat found in certain foods like sea buckthorn oil, macadamia nuts, and avocados.

Sea buckthorn oil is particularly rich in palmitoleic acid, the most potent type of omega 7, which supports skin, hair, and nail health. omega 7 has been shown to support collagen production and works to rejuvenate and hydrate from the inside out keeping skin hydrated and supple, while also nourishing hair and nails. It keeps areas like your eyes, mouth, and even the female reproductive system hydrated and healthy.

If you are taking medication, we recommend consulting your GP or healthcare provider before starting the supplement. omega 3s can have mild blood-thinning effects, which may interact with medications like anticoagulants or anti-platelet drugs. Additionally, if you are on medication for conditions such as high blood pressure, cholesterol, or inflammation, it’s important to ensure that True Omegas+ is safe and appropriate for your unique health needs.

Your healthcare provider can offer tailored advice to help you get the most benefit while staying safe.
