FAQs

Are Skin Omegas+ suitable for all skin types?

Yes – they are suitable for all skin types: normal, dry, sensitive, oily, problem-prone and sensitive skin.

Are Skin Omegas+ sourced from sustainable fish oil?

Advanced Nutrition Programme™ source our omega-3 fish oils from a specialist marine-oil producer: Epax® who are a pioneering, sustainable name in the industry. They were the first ingredient company to be awarded Friend of the Sea (FOS) certification for “documented, traceable and sustainable operations”.

The fish oil is sourced from wild-caught fish, primarily from Peru. Friend of the Sea certification assesses factors including fish-stock management, fishing methods, effects on the seabed, bycatch and traceability.

Epax® also applies extensive purification, testing and quality-control procedures to monitor the purity and quality of its omega-3 oils.

The oil used in Skin Omegas+ also complies with the GOED Voluntary Monograph, a leading global benchmark for omega-3 quality. It establishes strict requirements covering oxidative quality, environmental contaminants and the accurate measurement of EPA and DHA.

Together, these standards help ensure that our fish oil is responsibly sourced, carefully monitored and produced to high quality and purity standards.

How much vitamin A is in the Skin Omegas+?

The amount of vitamin A contained in 2 softgels (recommended daily amount) is 400 IU’s (international units) or 120 µg (micrograms). This level is well within the Nutrient Reference Value for the UK and Ireland.

As these contain vitamin A are they suitable for long term use? Or is there a time frame on using them?

Just like we eat food every day to nourish our bodies, incorporating Skin Omegas+ into our daily routine can provide additional support. It's fine to take it long-term since it's a food supplement, and the amount of vitamin A in the recommended daily dose of 2 capsules is very low.

What is TOTOX? 

TOTOX stands for “total oxidation value”. It is a measure used to assess the overall level of oxidation in an oil. It combines the peroxide value, which measures early-stage oxidation, with the anisidine value, which measures later-stage oxidation.

Omega-3 oils can oxidise when exposed to oxygen, heat or light, eventually causing the oil to become rancid. In general, a lower TOTOX value indicates less oxidation and a fresher oil.

The GOED Voluntary Monograph, a leading global benchmark for omega-3 quality, sets a maximum TOTOX value of 26. Skin Omegas+ has a TOTOX specification average below 15, demonstrating the high oxidative quality of the oil used in the product.

Our anchovy-derived omega-3 oil is supplied by Epax® and purified using steam and charcoal filtration. It is carefully tested for quality and sourced through a traceable supply chain certified by Friend of the Sea.

Do you have any tips to look for in an omega-3 supplement?

As a general rule of thumb, Advanced Nutrition Programme™ would recommend the following:

·        Golden yellow colour 

·        Fresh, slightly fishy smell 

·        Low TOTOX score 

·        Added antioxidants (like vitamin E) to fight damaging free radicals 

·        Choose oils sourced from smaller fish, like anchovies and sardines – these are lower in contaminants than bigger fish 

·        The triglyceride (TG) form of fish oil for better bioavailability 

·        Third party certifications like Friends of the Sea, EPAX® and GOED
