Not all omega‑3 supplements are equally stable. Heat, light, and oxygen can degrade delicate fatty acids. The polyphenols in extra virgin olive oil help shield omega‑3s and support freshness in BalanceOil+.
Why Stability Matters
Oxidation is a natural chemical process. For delicate marine oils, limiting exposure to heat, light, and oxygen helps preserve taste and potency. Antioxidants act like shields, slowing this process so more of the active nutrients reach you.
- Oxidized oils can have off‑flavors and reduced potency.
- Stable formulas better preserve EPA/DHA integrity.
- Stability supports consistent health outcomes over the bottle’s life.
What Polyphenols Do
Polyphenols from extra virgin olive oil contribute electron‑donating capacity to neutralize reactive species. In a practical sense, this supports freshness and taste and complements omega‑3 benefits.
- Scavenge reactive oxygen species.
- Support oil integrity during storage and everyday use.
- Provide synergistic antioxidant support with omega‑3s.
