Omega-3 supplements or fish? What science says

"Time is no longer the enemy; it's the path to a long life filled with health and purpose. Sometimes, what's essential isn't what's obvious, but what we consciously choose to include in our lives."

A recent study, published in March 2025 in the prestigious journal The British Journal of Nutrition, has yielded surprising results that reaffirm the importance of looking beyond the obvious. Researchers in the United Kingdom have shown that fish oil supplements can offer cardiovascular benefits superior to those obtained by consuming fatty fish. The study, which included 42 healthy volunteers over 40 years of age, revealed that those who took 1 gram of fish oil daily achieved a significant reduction in extracellular vesicles, small structures released by cells that are linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Unlike those who consumed fatty or white fish, participants who received supplements showed a significant decrease in these risk biomarkers, as well as a lower thrombogenic capacity, that is, a reduction in the tendency to form blood clots. This discovery is especially relevant, as it confirms that not only the quantity, but also the way in which we incorporate certain nutrients into our lives, can make a difference.

What makes this finding even more interesting is that, although both fatty fish and fish oil supplements increased EPA and DHA concentrations, only the supplements were able to clearly impact the quantity and function of extracellular vesicles and reduce thrombotic risk. This suggests that EPA and DHA are the key components driving these protective effects. And it confirms something we already suspected: that choosing the right source of our nutrients is not a simple detail, but a decision that can change our health and well-being.

At Longevitas, we understand that the secret to complete health lies not only in eating "healthier," but in doing so with intention and knowledge. Our high-quality supplements, with optimal concentrations of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), are designed to enhance cardiovascular benefits, regulating inflammatory processes, and strengthening the body's natural defenses. We know that every body is unique, and that's why our formulas are designed to adapt to each person's specific needs, offering personalized solutions that support their journey toward longevity.

At Longevitas, we believe in this conscious decision. That's why our supplementation proposal isn't just a formula; it's an invitation to build personalized health, where quality and personalization align with science and your needs.
