Why is it hard to get enough omega-3?
A Western diet is often high in omega-6 fatty acids and low in the omega-3s that make a difference in the body. Over 6 billion of us are insufficient.*

Not all omega-3 is the same
Getting enough of this essential nutrient depends on what source omega-3 it is, how fresh it is and how much of it your body can absorb.
The source matters
Fish we find in stores is usually farmed — convenient and affordable, but typically lower in the key omega-3 fats EPA and DHA that the body needs.
- EPA is associated with the normal function of the heart and immune system.
- DHA is especially known for its role in brain function.
The size of the fish matters, too
Large, lean fish such as cod store most of their EPA and DHA in the liver, where contaminants from the ocean also tend to accumulate. Small, wild-caught fish store EPA and DHA in their tissues. They are also lower on the food chain, which means fewer accumulated contaminants.
- Mackerel: 2,200 mg omega-3 per serving
- Sardines: 800 mg per serving
- Salmon: 1,200 mg per serving
- Cod: 100 mg per serving

Frequently asked questions
Yes. The BalanceTest is designed to demonstrate how Zinzino BalanceOil+ may influence fatty acid levels when taken as recommended. The first test provides information about your current Omega profile, and the second test allows you to compare results after at least 120 days. The scientifically certified blend of pure fish oil, early‑harvest extra virgin olive oil and naturally sourced vitamin D3 is formulated to support Omega‑3 intake and contribute to maintaining a balanced Omega‑6:3 ratio. An independent, GMP‑certified chemical analysis contract lab analyzes the dried blood spot test for eleven different fatty acids. Data from tested populations show that the average Omega‑6:3 ratio for people not taking Omega‑3 supplements is around 12:1 in Northern Europe, 15:1 in Europe and 25:1 in the USA. After using BalanceOil+ for 120 days, many individuals show a ratio closer to 3:1.
Yes. We collaborate with Lysi, an established producer of fish oil. The fish oil comes exclusively from certified fisheries before being processed in Iceland by Lysi. They conduct thorough heavy metal and raw material analyses on the fish oil to adhere to strict EU regulations and ensure high purity, maintaining levels well within established safety limits. As our oceans experience more pressure from pollution, all fish oil may contain trace levels of substances such as mercury and other heavy metals. These environmental contaminants are considered oxidants, and they may negatively affect health by contributing to cellular stress and potentially increasing the risk of disease. Small fish are at the bottom of the food chain and tend to accumulate fewer contaminants, which naturally enhances their suitability as a source of Omega‑3, enabling a milder refining process. We recommend choosing an Omega‑3 supplement where the crude fish oil is documented as rigorously purified from heavy metals and residual compounds such as phthalates. Responsible manufacturers display this information clearly on the product label.
Our BalanceOil+ was among the first Omega‑3 supplements to be developed with documented third‑party testing. Many traditionally processed Omega supplements on the market do not provide evidence of effective nutrient uptake. To support long‑term use, the fish oil needs to be fresh and protected by antioxidants naturally present in fish. Polyphenols from early‑harvest extra virgin olives are antioxidants similar to those found in fish, and Zinzino was one of the first brands to include this ingredient in an Omega‑3 supplement. BalanceOil+ combines pure fish oil and extra virgin olive oil with polyphenols to help stabilize oxidation and support nutrient absorption. The result is a Polyphenol Omega food supplement designed to resemble the natural composition of oily fish. Our BalanceTest provides consumers with documented information about their fatty acid profile.
Among plant antioxidants, the phenolic compounds in early‑harvest extra virgin olive oil most closely match the lipid‑phase activity required to stabilize marine Omega‑3 fatty acids, and Zinzino was one of the first brands to include this ingredient in an Omega‑3 supplement.
BalanceTest results showing changes in your Omega 6:3 ratio can provide documented information about your fatty acid profile. All fish oil will eventually go rancid and lose quality, which is why the purification and refining process plays an important role in keeping oxidation to a minimum. To preserve the oil’s quality, freshness needs to be carefully monitored. A stable oxidation process helps maintain the integrity of Omega 3 nutrients. Adding antioxidants is one method to slow down oxidation in fish oil, increase shelf life and improve quality. BalanceOil+ is formulated with natural antioxidants such as mixed tocopherols and extra virgin olive oil from early harvest olives, known for their polyphenols. These bioactive micronutrients help keep the Omega 3s stable and maintain their quality over time.
Omega 3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart, while DHA also contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and vision. Including these nutrients in your diet through a high quality supplement helps support these essential functions.
When using Zinzino BalanceOil+ according to the recommendations based on your BalanceTest results, research conducted by our scientists indicates measurable changes in fatty acid profiles within 120 days, which corresponds to the typical renewal cycle of cells. It is recommended to do the test before starting BalanceOil+ to establish your initial ratio, and then again after 120 days to compare results and review your intake if needed.
There are approximately ten different Omega 3 fatty acids, and the three primary ones are ALA, EPA, and DHA. EPA and DHA are long chain Omega 3 fatty acids that play important roles in the body. They are primarily found in oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, and herring, which is why marine derived fish oils are rich sources of EPA and DHA. As the two fatty acids each have slightly different functions, the ratio between them can influence how they contribute to overall nutrition.
BalanceOil+ contains a 20:10 ratio of EPA to DHA. Omega 3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart, while DHA also contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and vision. This combination provides both EPA and DHA in amounts designed to support daily intake in line with recognized nutritional guidance.
