Product guide

We often get asked many questions about our products, so our nutritionists have compiled this downloadable product information guide to ensure you get the most from taking Echiomega. Find out when to take it, at what dose and how to maximise absorption for optimum results.
COMPLETE SOURCE OF VEGETARIAN/VEGAN OMEGA-3-6-9 -

Echiomega provides a perfect ratio of omega-3-6-9 fats from a single source. Echiomega is optimally balanced with twice as much omega-3 as omega-6, with the added benefits of omega-9 - ideal for topping up the diet with good fats for optimal health

BOOSTS EPA LEVELS 60% -

its unique content of ALA & SDA boosts levels of the important omega-3 EPA 60% more than other plant oils such as flaxseed, making it a vegan-friendly alternative to fish oil

BLISTER-PACKAGED CAPSULES -

delicate omega oils need extra protection against oxidation so we ensure our supplements are constantly protected from air exposure by providing oils in capsules and protective blister packaging. This prevents the production of peroxidase products, with no need for refrigeration during storage or transport

NO FISHY BURPS! -

plant seed oils containing shorter-chain omega-3 fatty acids do not produce any unpleasant reflux

PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE -

our supplements are produced in facilities that manufacture in compliance with strict and stringent GMP (good manufacturing practices) - quality standards that medicines manufacturers must meet in their production processes to ensure products are of consistent high quality

Optimally balanced omega-3-6-9 derived from echium seed oil

Echium seed oil is produced from tall purple flowering plants which are native to the Canary Islands and are also grown in the UK. With a unique omega-3-6-9 make-up, echium seed oil is superior to other plant oils such as flaxseed, particularly beneficial for supporting plant based diets. As well as being a source of the essential fatty acid omega-3 ALA, echium seed oil is also rich in the rare omega-3 stearidonic acid (SDA) that is easily converted to EPA – the active omega-3 in fish oil that offers brain, heart and eye health benefits.

Balanced omega 3-6-9

Offering an optimal balance of omega-3-6-9, Echiomega is an excellent plant source of health-enhancing good fats, ideal for topping up the diet for restoring natural balance within the body. Echium seed oil provides an ideal 2:1 ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6, and with added benefits of omega-9 for optimum health. Unlike many other omega-3 rich plant seed oils, echium seed oil also contains the ‘good’ omega-6 GLA, for which evening primrose oil is sought after. It also provides omega-9 oleic acid, the principal fat in olive oil that is consumed in large amounts in the Mediterranean diet.

Efficiently raises omega-3 EPA levels

As omega-3 consumption may be low in a plant based diet, echium seed oil is an ideal choice as it’s the richest natural source of omega-3 Stearidonic acid (SDA), making it an ideal alternative to fish oil. SDA is efficiently converted to omega-3 EPA in the body, usually found in fish, therefore raises omega-3 EPA levels far more effectively than other plant oils. Although flaxseed oil is the default for many non-fish eaters, it does not raise EPA levels effectively as the conversion pathway is typically poor. By comparison, 60% more EPA is synthesised from echium seed oil than from flaxseed oil.

Vegan oil and capsules

Echium seed oil is naturally free from toxins including heavy metals, PCBs and dioxins, and leaves no footprint on the ocean ecosystem. The plant based oil is derived from echium seeds only, and the capsules are also 100% vegan, containing seaweed. The capsules protect the delicate echium seed oil from oxidation, and blister packaging further protects the oil by preventing air exposure, avoiding the need for refrigeration like bottled liquid seed oils. Echiomega is not tested on animals, and the oil is non-GMO, free from dairy, gluten, lactose, soya & yeast.
