Also supports the heart and brain. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #2b5040; border-bottom: 2px solid #eaf4ea; padding-bottom: 8px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">How does O-Mega Blend work?<\/h2>\n<p>Omega-3 fatty acids inhibit chronic inflammation from the inside out. In joint pain, skin complaints and obesity, low-grade inflammation almost always plays a role as an underlying cause. Omega-3 addresses that cause, not just the symptom.  <\/p>\n<p>Our oil is based on calanus oil, extracted from a small crustacean from the North Atlantic Ocean. Calanus oil contains EPA and DHA in a special phospholipid form that the body absorbs faster and better than regular fish oil. In addition, it contains astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant that protects the omega-3 fatty acids and provides extra anti-inflammatory effects.  <\/p>\n<p>Calanus oil is also more sustainably sourced than traditional fish oil and is rigorously tested for heavy metals and contaminants.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #2b5040; border-bottom: 2px solid #eaf4ea; padding-bottom: 8px; margin: 28px 0 16px;\">What does this supplement do?<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Helps with joint pain, stiffness and chronic inflammation<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Supports healthy skin and a shiny coat<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">May help with obesity and slow metabolism<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Purer and more absorbable than regular fish oil<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Sustainably sourced, free of heavy metals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- WANNEER ZIE JE RESULTAAT --><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #2b5040; border-bottom: 2px solid #eaf4ea; padding-bottom: 8px; margin: 28px 0 20px;\">When do you see results?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: .88rem; color: #666; margin-bottom: 20px; font-style: italic;\">Omega-3 works through membrane integration: EPA and DHA are built into cell walls and gradually shift the inflammatory balance.
