Zinzino Omega 3 FA

The Healthy Skeptics and My2048.com (Altea Health Sciences) has transitioned to higher-quality Omega-3 supplements featuring Zinzino’s Balance Oil+, Premium Balance Oil+, and Premium Essent products.

These unique Balance products contain a combination of purified omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA with pre-harvest extra virgin olive polyphenols for enhanced antioxidant protection and nutrient absorption. Using one of these products helps achieve an ideal Omega-6:3 ratio of 3:1 or lower within 120 days for most people.

Personalized Balance Testing by Vitas Analytical Services measures fatty acid profiles, enabling tailored supplementation based on individual needs. This approach ensures optimal health benefits, including reduced oxidative stress and improved cardiovascular and cognitive function.

The combination of omega-3 fatty acids and olive polyphenols enhances health benefits through synergistic effects. Olive polyphenols protect omega-3s from oxidation, preserving their bioactive properties and preventing the formation of harmful byproducts during digestion. This combination boosts antioxidant activity, reduces inflammation, and improves cardiovascular, metabolic, and neuroprotective outcomes. Additionally, olive polyphenols enhance omega-3 absorption in the body, optimizing their efficacy in restoring the omega-6:3 balance and supporting overall health. Together, they provide superior protection against oxidative stress and inflammation-related diseases.

My brain, gut and skin LOVE the Balanced approach! I will never stop it.

You can find my 1st Balance Test report in full length at
https://my2048.com/zinzino/

I had been taking Icelandic Omega 3 at 3 capsules daily, plus 2 capsules Joint Venture Daily, plus X•Altea most days. But despite that, my 1st result was 6.7:1- NOT in the safe zone!
I started the Balance Oil+ and 3 other products from Zinzino (the full Health Protocol Premium), and noticed after just 2 months that my gut tolerated foods better, that my skin was clearer, and my brain was better at comprehending new Zumba steps in dance class! After 120 days on the products, I retested. I was now in the SAFE ZONE of 3:1 or better at 1.7:1!

Is it possible that fish oil can protect my brain, heart AND joints?

More than a thousand studies have been conducted to show the health benefits of fish oil.

As a grad student, I was intensely interested in how the human diet changed from ancient times to the present. So when a lecture was posted on diet and evolutionary biology, I was right up front. Here was the most memorable part of the presentation.

Professor puts up a map of the world. Asks where math developed. He then used his pointer to indicate areas of Egypt, India, China and Central America. In particular, he noted that the Sumerians were probably the first to develop a counting system.  He then asked where the great philosophies were formulated, and once again pointed to Egypt, India, China, Japan, Greece, Italy and Persia.  Finally, he asked where modern science first flourished. By then, we pretty much knew he would point to the same areas, but no one in the class could answer his next question; “What is common to all of these vitally important areas; where humankind made vast strides in understanding, communication and technology?”

“Look,” he continued pointing… they are all coastal areas. The Indian ocean, the Atlantic, Pacific, the Mediterranean, the Persian Gulf…What do you think that means?”  Seeing as the title of the lecture was Diet and Evolutionary Biology,” I ventured a guess. “These people were eating fish.”

“Precisely!” shouted the professor, “and what unique group of nutrients would that provide? The 20 and 22 carbon fatty acids known as EPA and DHA.”

I would later learn a great deal about these long chain fatty acids, and my professor’s theory back in 1975 was supported by research showing that DHA in particular played an important role in brain development. I would learn that children born of women with high levels of DHA had higher IQ’s than children whose mothers had low levels of DHA. [1,2] And that if the new mother supplemented with DHA, her child would perform better and have a higher IQ at age 4. [3]

It turns out that EPA and DHA play key roles at every stage of life. Here’s why:

Cardiovascular health.

Consuming fish and fish oil has been shown to provide a wide range of benefits for the heart and blood vessels.

1. 1. May lower triglycerides: [4] When triglycerides are high (over 125 mg/dL) they add to the blood’s thickness and stickiness. Keeping trigs under 100 mg/dL can be accomplished with a highly varied natural foods diet (devoid of sugar), regular exercise and supplemental fish oil.
   2. May raise levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL)[5]
   3. May lower risk for fatal arrhythmia events. [6]
   4. Fish oil supplementation has been shown to lower blood pressure in people with elevated blood pressure. Importantly, the effect is dose-dependent. Higher doses produce better results. [7]

Weight loss

As Natalie and I point out in The Metabolic Makeover, EPA and DHA are metabolic modifiers that promote weight loss. These omega-3 fatty acids do this by stimulating production of a hormone (adiponectin) and an enzyme (AMPK) which tell the body to burn fat.[8] What’s more, fish oil supplements can also reduce inflammation and make exercise easier and more enjoyable. [9]

The issue of Inflammation

In the Metabolic Model of Aging (now the framework for research worldwide) aging is seen as a see-saw relationship between damage and repair. On the damage side, inflammation is the most damaging force, followed by oxidative stress, wear and tear, infection and emotional/ mental stress. We are all aware of inflammation when it occurs in a muscle or joint because we feel the pain. But most inflammation is silent, wreaking havoc in our blood vessels and brain. Inflammation is also involved in all three stages of cancer: initiation, progression and metastasis. Thus we should pay attention to safe and effective ways to address this damaging force, and one way is to increase intake of omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-3 fats reduce inflammation in four ways. First, they are deposited in cell membranes, displacing pro-inflammatory fats like arachadonic acid. Second, they stimulate a number of anti-inflammatory molecules including prostaglandins and cytokines. Third, they alter gene expression for inflammatory proteins, and finally, omega-3 fats reduce oxidative stress. [10, 11].  Human clinical trials have also shown EPA and DHA supplements to be effective in the treatment of inflammatory disorders. [12]

Your Brain

It has long been known that people who eat a lot of fish experience a slower decline in bran function as they age. [13] Looking for a mode of action, researchers found – surprise –  the benefits derive from EPA and DHA. [14]  There is now promising research suggesting that supplementing with fish oil can improve memory and cognition. [15]

FAQ’s

Why did Altea (My2048 and The Healthy Skeptics) switch from Icelandic Omega 3 oil to Zinzino Balance Oil+?

Answer: Our commitment to our customers and Members is to always offer the very best products. When we find a superior ingredient or product, we use it. MMIS (Multi-Mushroom Immune Support) for example, has been reformulated twice when we were able to obtain organic mushroom concentrates with higher levels of immune-modulating beta glucans. We added elderberry concentrate to X•Altea in 2019, and in 2020, launched Joint Venture 2.0 with a higher potency curcumin and a powerful antioxidant derived from Aronia berries. Zinzino is a Scandinavian company with offices in 47 countries, but relatively unknown here in the US. So imagine our surprise to receive an invitation to join their Scientific Advisory Board. In our due diligence we were blown away by the caliber of this board, the company’s patents, quality controls and research capabilities. Most important was the genius of having a simple, finger-stick test to measure cell function, performed by the world’s leading clinical lab for blood spot analysis.
