What is OMEga+?

OMega+ is a fish oil -based food supplement. It's a blend of Omega-3 fatty acids derived from wild-caught fish oil. This very high-quality oil is extremely concentrated in DHA, allowing you to reach your recommended daily intake of DHA with just one capsule . The Omega-3s in OMega+ are encapsulated in bovine gelatin softgels and are combined with vitamin E for its antioxidant effects, thus ensuring their quality over time.

What is an omega-3?

Omega-3s are part of the family of dietary lipids and more specifically of polyunsaturated fatty acids or PUFAs.

Omega-3 fatty acids are necessary for many bodily functions, and some are essential and must be obtained through diet. This is the case with alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, an omega-3). ALA serves as a precursor to other fatty acids that the body can produce from it. Among these are EPA and the well-known DHA . However, it is estimated that the conversion of DHA from ALA is extremely low (1 to 5%), and DHA is therefore considered strictly essential.

In what cases should OMEga be taken?

OMega+ is a food supplement rich in Omega 3. Omega 3s are polyunsaturated fatty acids (lipids). They are essential for the proper functioning of the body.

Among the Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA ( docosahexaenoic acid ) are essential for the proper functioning of our body. They contribute to the structure of cell membranes, are precursors of chemical mediators, and are necessary for other biological functions.

Our body cannot synthesize omega-3 fatty acids, but it can convert a precursor (ALA) into EPA and DHA. However, the conversion to DHA is always insufficient, and DHA is considered strictly essential and must be obtained through diet.

The SU.VI.MAX study notably showed that the majority of the population does not consume enough omega 3 and that it consumes too much omega 6. This unbalanced consumption impairs (because of competition on the conversion enzymes) the proper conversion of precursor omega 3 (ALA) into DHA and EPA.

In short, it is considered necessary to consume at least 2 portions of oily fish (salmon, herring, etc.) per week to be able to approach the minimum requirement of our body for omega 3.

While the consumption of vegetable oils rich in Omega 3 is beneficial, it is not able to meet DHA requirements (insufficient conversion).

It is therefore advisable to consume OMEga+ if you do not consume enough oily fish.

For more information on fatty acids and omega-3, please consult our series of blog articles dedicated to this topic.

What are the advantages of OMEga+?

OMEga+ is a food supplement packaged in single-dose softgel capsules. Our omega-3s are packaged with vitamin E, which protects the fatty acids from oxidation (one of the main problems with omega-3s packaged in liquid form in bottles).

OMega+ is extremely rich in DHA : 250mg per capsule. Just one capsule is enough to reach the recommended daily intake of DHA and its beneficial effects on vision and the brain!

What is the recommended dose of Omega+ to consume?

In order to benefit from an intake compatible with the health claims and the observations of the AREDS studies in the context of vision maintenance, we recommend consuming 1 capsule of Omega 3 per day.

Consumption can be increased to 2 and 3g per day respectively in order to benefit from other effects such as maintaining normal triglyceride levels or normal blood pressure.

EFSA recommends not exceeding a consumption of 5g per day .

We recommend not exceeding a dose of more than 1g per day without consulting a doctor.

Why take OMEga+ in addition to ORetine?

We recommend the combined consumption of ORetine and OMEga+:

DHA is essential for the proper functioning of the eye and retina; it is found notably in the rods. OMega+ meets the health claim related to maintaining normal vision.

Furthermore, it has been observed in various studies that DHA consumption is associated with:

  • to a reduction in the risk of developing AMD

  • to a reduction in the development of geographic atrophy in patients already suffering from AMD

  • a reduction in dry eyes

Science

Does OMega+ have any health claims?

European health authorities (EFSA, European Food Safety Authority and the European Commission) have ruled on claims relating to omega 3. EFSA has thus defined precise criteria for making the different claims.

  • Consuming 250mg of omega-3 per day contributes to normal heart function

  • Consuming 250mg of DHA per day contributes to normal brain function.

  • Consuming 250mg of DHA per day contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.

  • Furthermore, DHA consumption in pregnant women contributes to normal brain development in the fetus and breastfed infant (for an intake of 200mg of DHA in addition to the normal dietary intake).

Consuming just one OMEga+ capsule meets these recommendations, therefore OMEga+ benefits from the health claims related to omega 3.

Questions fréquentes

OMega+ est un complément alimentaire à base d'huile de poissons sauvages concentrée en DHA destiné à compléter les apports en oméga‑3. OMega+ fournit 250 mg de DHA et 50 mg d'EPA par capsule (500 mg d'huile de poisson) et contient de la vitamine E pour protéger contre l'oxydation. Il est conçu pour contribuer au maintien d'une fonction cardiaque normale, au fonctionnement normal du cerveau et au maintien d'une vision normale selon les critères de l'EFSA. En pratique, prenez une capsule par jour si votre consommation de poissons gras est insuffisante.

Une capsule d'OMega+ contient 500 mg d'huile de poissons sauvages, dont 250 mg de DHA (100 % des apports de référence), 50 mg d'EPA (20 % des AR) et 5 mg de vitamine E (D‑alpha tocophérol, ~41,5 % des AR). La tunique de la capsule est en gélatine d'origine bovine avec glycérine. Le produit contient donc des dérivés de poissons (allergène) et une source animale (gélatine). Gardez ces chiffres à l'esprit pour ajuster la dose selon vos besoins ou recommandations médicales.

La posologie recommandée est d'une capsule d'OMega+ par jour, à prendre avant un repas, ce qui apporte 250 mg de DHA et couvre l'allégation santé liée au cerveau et à la vision. La prise peut être augmentée sous surveillance médicale : l'étiquette évoque des usages à 2–3 g/jour pour d'autres effets (triglycérides, pression), mais l'EFSA fixe une limite tolérable à 5 g/jour. Nous recommandons de ne pas dépasser 1 g/jour sans avis médical. Action pratique : respectez une capsule quotidienne sauf avis contraire du médecin.

OMega+ contient 250 mg de DHA par capsule et répond donc à l'apport recommandé pour contribuer au développement normal du cerveau du fœtus et de l'enfant allaité (l'EFSA recommande 200 mg de DHA supplémentaires pendant la grossesse). Cependant, OMega+ contient des ingrédients d'origine animale et dérivés de poissons ; il convient de consulter votre professionnel de santé avant toute supplémentation en grossesse ou allaitement. En pratique, parlez à votre médecin pour confirmer la dose et la sécurité selon votre situation clinique et vos autres apports alimentaires.

OMega+ n'est pas adapté aux régimes végétariens ou véganes car il contient de l'huile de poissons sauvages et une tunique en gélatine bovine. De plus, OMega+ contient des dérivés de poissons et est donc contre‑indiqué en cas d'allergie connue au poisson. Si vous suivez un régime végétal ou avez une allergie, tournez‑vous vers des alternatives à base d'algues (DHA d'algues) ou consultez un professionnel de santé pour un substitut approprié.

OMega+ apporte 250 mg de DHA par capsule, quantité correspondant aux allégations de l'EFSA selon lesquelles 250 mg de DHA contribuent au fonctionnement normal du cerveau et au maintien d'une vision normale. Des études épidémiologiques et essais cliniques associent un apport en DHA à une diminution du risque de DMLA et à des effets bénéfiques sur la rétine et la sécheresse oculaire. En pratique, une capsule quotidienne d'OMega+ permet d'obtenir la dose minimale reconnue pour ces fonctions, en complément d'une alimentation équilibrée.

OMega+ peut potentialiser l'effet anticoagulant en altérant l'agrégation plaquettaire, surtout à fortes doses ; c'est pourquoi il faut consulter un médecin si vous prenez des anticoagulants, antiplaquettaires ou avez un trouble de coagulation. De même, signalez la prise d'OMega+ avant une intervention chirurgicale car une interruption préopératoire peut être recommandée. En pratique, informez votre médecin de toute supplémentation et ne modifiez pas votre traitement sans avis médical.

OMega+ se distingue par une concentration élevée en DHA (250 mg par capsule) conditionnée en gélule molle avec vitamine E pour limiter l'oxydation, et par l'utilisation d'huiles issues de poissons sauvages. Une seule capsule atteint la dose journalière de DHA recommandée pour les allégations santé de l'EFSA, ce qui facilite la prise. En pratique, choisissez OMega+ si vous cherchez une source concentrée de DHA dans une capsule unique, et comparez étiquettes (DHA/EPA par dose) avant achat.

Dépasser la dose recommandée augmente le risque d'effets indésirables comme troubles gastro‑intestinaux, reflux ou altération de la coagulation. L'EFSA indique une limite supérieure tolérable jusqu'à 5 g/jour d'EPA+DHA, mais OMega+ recommande de ne pas dépasser 1 g/jour sans avis médical. En cas de prise prolongée au‑delà des recommandations, consultez un professionnel de santé pour surveiller les paramètres biologiques et éviter interactions médicamenteuses. Action pratique : respectez la posologie et demandez un avis médical si vous envisagez une augmentation.

Conservez OMega+ à l'abri de la chaleur et de la lumière, dans son emballage d'origine et hors de portée des enfants ; respectez la date de péremption indiquée sur le pot. La vitamine E contenue aide à limiter l'oxydation des oméga‑3, mais une conservation adéquate reste essentielle. La prise peut être renouvelée si besoin ; pour une supplémentation prolongée (plusieurs mois), faites un point régulier avec votre médecin pour évaluer l'intérêt et adapter la dose selon vos apports alimentaires et objectifs de santé.

Oui, OMega+ peut être pris en association avec ORetine : OMega+ apporte 250 mg de DHA par capsule, essentiel à la structure de la rétine, et l'association vise à soutenir la santé oculaire. Les données scientifiques indiquent que le DHA est lié à une réduction du risque de DMLA, à une moindre progression de l'atrophie géographique et à une amélioration de la sécheresse oculaire. En pratique, l'association peut être pertinente pour les personnes préoccupées par la santé de la rétine, après validation par un professionnel de santé.
