Now everyone can get into balance! Vegan diets are often richer in some nutrients such as fiber, vitamin C and phytochemicals. But, these diets often lack some essential nutrients, including vitamin D and omega-3 fats. This means that it is difficult for vegans and vegetarians to get into omega-6/omega-3 balance, and equally difficult to ensure they consume enough EPA and DHA to get the EFSA-approved benefits of these nutrients. In population studies, it is shown that vegans have lower blood concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids than those eating animal-based food.
For a vegan, these essential omega-3 EPA and DHA fatty acids can be obtained by eating fortified foods or carefully selecting a diet containing these nutrients, but it’s not easy. Supplementing with ALA has very little effect on increasing blood DHA concentrations because even if ALA can be converted into EPA and DHA in your body, this conversion is quite a vegan, these essential omega-3 EPA, and DHA fatty acids can be obtained by eating fortified foods or carefully selecting a diet containing these nutrients, but it’s not easy. Supplementing with ALA has very little effect on increasing blood DHA concentrations because even if ALA can be converted into EPA and DHA in your body, this conversion is quite inefficient. The typical conversion rates are below 5% in women, and below 2% in men, so the problem remains. But now there is an easy solution for all vegans, vegetarians and actually anybody who wants an alternative to fish oils. Fish get their omega-3´s from cold water marine algae. These algae provide pure long-chain omega-3’s that can be extracted and consumed by humans.
Zinzino BalanceOil Vegan contains this marine algae oil with omega-3 (EPA and DHA), high oleic sunflower oil (HOSO) and an echium seed oil rich in omega-3 (SDA and ALA), omega-6 (GLA) and omega-9 (OA). It also contains the extra virgin pre-harvest olive oil rich in omega-9 (OA) and with very high levels of polyphenols. It has a fair portion of the so important vitamin D from a 100% vegan source.
As a result, the vegan oil is offering you all the benefits of our regular BalanceOil made from fish oil. Zinzino BalanceOil Vegan is tested, protected, effective and safely adjusts and maintains EPA+DHA levels and the omega-6:3 balance in your body. Finally, everyone can get into balance!
The vital ingredients
ALGAE OIL
The oil derived from the marine microalgae Schizochytrium sp. is rich in the omega-3 fatty acids Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA)/Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). The vegetarian equivalent to fish oil, this is the first vegetarian EPA/DHA product available that provides a bio-alternative to traditional fish oils. Produced in an FDA-inspected and rigorously controlled facility, it is a highly concentrated and consistent product. The algae oil also contains small amounts of high oleic sunflower oil, rosemary extract for flavoring, ascorbyl palmitate (derived from GMO-free corn) and tocopherols (extracted from GMO-free plant oils), to ensure stability.
ECHIUM OIL
The echium seed oil, GMO-free, is rich in the omega-3 fatty acids omega-3 SDA and ALA, the omega-6 fatty acid GLA and the omega-9 fatty acid OA. A superb choice for vegetarians and vegans, echium seed oil contains an ideal fatty acid profile. Firstly, it contains twice as much omega-3 as omega-6 and omega-9, and can, therefore, help to balance the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. This is in contrast with most vegetarian oils, which contain excessive omega-6’s. Secondly, echium seed oil contains the rare omega-3 fatty acid SDA, which is converted five times better to EPA in the body than the typical plant omega-3 ALA, i.e. in flaxseed. But there is more. Echium seed oil also contains the valuable omega-6 fatty acid GLA, beneficial for balancing hormones and skin health!
OLIVE OIL
BalanceOil contains a special cold-pressed, extra-virgin pre-harvest oil from Spanish, GMO-free, Picual olives. It is rich in omega-9 (OA), but is specially selected for its very high content of polyphenols (above 350 mg/ kilo). Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants with numerous beneficial effects. They protect BalanceOil in the bottle and, equally importantly, in your body.
VITAMIN D3
Our exclusive vegan vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) comes from a special, organically grown, plant source called lichen. It can accumulate large levels of useful nutrients, including vitamin D3. The vitamin D3 is extracted and then some coconut oil is added to it. The vitamin D3 is Vegan certified and of course GMO-free.
PROOF OF BALANCE IN 120 DAYS
Our certified laboratories have analyzed more than 520.000 blood tests (Aug 2020), creating the world’s largest database. The average omega-6:3 balance for people not taking an omega-3 supplement is 12:1 for Northern Europe, 15:1 for Europe and 25:1 for the USA. After taking BalanceOil for 120 days, the average balance is below 5:1 and in many cases below 3:1.
