Revive Active’s new Omega-3 supplement is a world first – and we are so excited to try it!
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for maintaining good health and helping support the function of the brain, vision and heart… and yet so many of us are not getting enough.
In fact, many adults are deficient in Omega-3!
Whether it’s because we’re not eating enough fish, or because we simply don’t like the fishy after-taste of most Omega-3 supplements, it can often be difficult to get our daily recommended intake.
Revive Active‘s new Omega Active is here to change that.
The world first fish oil supplement is encased in a plant based capsule, meaning that it’s suitable for pescatarians and doesn’t leave any kind of fishy after taste. Game changer!
Omega Active contains 1,362mg of Omega-3 fish oil, per two capsules equating to 756mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 504mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
It’s advised that adults take 250mg of DHA and EPA per day, as our bodies cannot naturally produce them. These fatty acids are essential for our health, and support normal function of the heart, normal brain function, and the maintenance of normal vision.
Take them while pregnant or breast feeding, and they also contribute to the normal brain and eye development of the foetus and breastfed infants*.
Unlike other supplements, Revive Active’s Omega-3 plant based capsules do not dissolve in the stomach, but after passing into the upper intestinal tract.
This means that they will be more effectively absorbed into the bloodstream and crucially, that there will be no fishy after taste. Win win!
Revive Active Operations Director, Colm Horton says: “Consumer research was a very important part of the research that went into the development of our Omega Active product. It quickly highlighted the fact that for many of the Omega-3 products on the market (especially those with a reasonable dose of DHA and EPA), there was a significant issue for consumers around the fishy aftertaste associated with most fish oils.
“While the addition of flavours and natural oils to Omega-3’s can help to offset this, it doesn’t prevent it. Solving this problem became one of the primary drivers for our NPD team, resulting in us being able to bring to the market the world’s first plant based, enteric, Omega-3 capsules. Eliminating the fishy aftertaste from our Omega Active capsules enabled us to increase the concentration of EPA and DHA in each capsule.”
Sounds good to us!
*Omega Active is the first in the Revive Active product range that is suitable to take during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. It contains a high dose of DHA per serving and DHA during pregnancy is important for optimal foetal development. It is advised that pregnant women take an additional 700-1400mg of DHA weekly on top of this baseline recommendation.
Omega Active is available to buy from health food stores and pharmacies nationwide and at www.reviveactive.com.
