Health • 5 min By Zinzino Do you know what separates high-quality, pure Omega-3 supplements from traditionally processed fish oils? Dr. Emmalee Gisslevik is the Zinzino R&D specialist and go-to expert on fatty acids. The right nutritional supplementation will give you the results you’re looking for. Make sure your choice is based on informed decisions. Follow this essential quality checklist when navigating the sea of supplements with fish oil. What does fresh fish oil really mean? This seems to be one burning question when people enter the world of Omega supplements. The secret according to our Swedish doctor of philosophy in food and nutrition is spelled oxidation and polyphenols. Two deal-breakers that determine if you will experience real, long-term results. There’s also a joker in the hunt for freshness that could catch you off-guard: the TOTOX value. This nerdy measure of the total oxidation level of fish oil is the industry standard that determines freshness and quality in fish oil. Unfortunately, it is easily miscalculated and misinterpreted. And, finally, the still virtually unknown secret sauce in the world of fish oil and Omega-3 supplements – olive oil. It’s been almost ten years since Zinzino made this ground-breaking discovery and added the antioxidant-packed ingredient to their scientifically proven formulation. Before moving to the checklist that will help you weed out the right Omega-3 supplement, take a minute to read up on Omega-3’s and Omega-6’s and polyphenols, all naturally found in oily fish. Polyphenols are extremely powerful micronutrients, packed with antioxidant capacity that increase absorption and bind the Omega 3’s tenaciously, acting as chaperons until the fatty acids have arrived safely in the cell membranes. Unfortunately, they are lost in the refining process to rid the fish oil of contaminants, such as mercury and PCBs.

Why balanced omega matters: The Omega-6 vs Omega-3 story Modern diets — especially in Western societies — tend to be high in Omega-6 fatty acids (common in many vegetable oils, processed foods, convenience meals) while being low in Omega-3s (often found in oily fish, seafood). themenopausenetwork.co.uk+2zinzino.com+2 This imbalance often leads to a skewed ratio — many people have Omega-6:Omega-3 ratios as high as 12:1, 15:1 or even more. themenopausenetwork.co.uk+2zinzino.com+2 But why is that a problem? Because our bodies rely on a healthy balance of these essential fatty acids to build and maintain cell membranes, regulate inflammation, support heart, brain, immune and general cellular health. Too much Omega-6 and too little Omega-3 can promote inflammatory processes, hinder optimal cell functions, and undermine long-term wellbeing. themenopausenetwork.co.uk+2zinzino.com+2 Therefore, it’s not just about getting enough Omega-3 — it’s about balancing Omega-6 and Omega-3 to support health at the cellular level. zinzino.com+2zinzino.com+2

Here's a shocking truth: 97% of people are nutritionally out of balance. That means if you're taking supplements based on guesswork or following generic health advice, chances are you're not getting the results you deserve. We are passionate about empowering women and wellness enthusiasts to take control of their health through science, not speculation. After years of helping people transform their cellular health, we've seen firsthand why test-based nutrition delivers results that guess-based approaches simply can't match. What Is Test-Based Nutrition? Test-based nutrition means using actual scientific data about your body to make informed decisions about what you eat and supplement with. Instead of hoping that generic multivitamin will help, you get precise information about your cellular health status. The gold standard? Dried blood spot testing that measures your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. This simple test reveals inflammation levels in your body and shows exactly what your cells need to function optimally. Think about it this way: would you drive cross-country without a GPS? Of course not. So why would you try to improve your health without knowing where you're starting from? When we test your blood, we're looking at: - Your current omega-6 to omega-3 balance - Inflammation markers at the cellular level - How well your body is absorbing essential fatty acids - Your personalized baseline for tracking improvement What Is Guess-Based Nutrition? Guess-based nutrition is what most people do, and it's exactly what it sounds like. You pick up supplements at the store based on marketing claims, follow trendy diets, or take whatever your friend recommended. This approach relies on: - Generic "one-size-fits-all" recommendations - Trial and error with different supplements - Hoping that popular health trends work for you - Assuming you know what your body needs Here's the problem: your body is unique. What works for your neighbor might not work for you. What helped your sister during menopause might make your symptoms worse. Without testing, you're essentially throwing darts in the dark.

We are passionate about empowering women to take control of their health through science-backed nutrition, and today we're diving deep into one of the most game-changing supplements in our wellness toolkit: Zinzino Collagen Boozt. If you've been wondering whether all collagen supplements are created equal, the answer is a resounding no. Let us share why this isn't just another collagen powder sitting on your shelf. The Cold, Hard Truth About Most Collagen Supplements Here's something that might surprise you: 97% of people are nutritionally out of balance, and this includes many who are already taking collagen supplements. Why? Because most collagen products on the market today are built on outdated science and inferior formulations that your body simply can't utilize effectively. We've seen too many women spend months taking generic collagen supplements, only to ask us, "Why am I not seeing any results?" The answer lies in understanding what makes collagen truly effective at the cellular level. The Marine Collagen Advantage: Science You Can Feel The foundation of Zinzino's effectiveness starts with marine collagen derived from wild-caught Arctic fish. This isn't just a marketing choice: it's a scientific one. Marine collagen peptides are absorbed up to 1.5 times more efficiently into your body compared to the bovine or porcine collagen found in most supplements. Think of it this way: your body's existing collagen matrix is incredibly sophisticated. Marine collagen peptides have a molecular structure that aligns perfectly with what your body already knows how to use. It's like speaking the same language at a cellular level, which means faster absorption and more noticeable results. Each serving of Zinzino Collagen Boozt delivers 8,000 mg of hydrolyzed marine collagen peptides from MSC-certified cold-water fish: cod, pollock, and haddock. This targets the specific collagen types most relevant to skin health: Type I and Type III collagen, the building blocks of youthful, resilient skin.
