New Study: Omega-3 Reduced Biological Age
A Swiss study examined the effects of exercise, vitamin D, and Omega-3 supplements on aging (Nature Aging, 2025). Carry. The effect was particularly evident in those with low Omega-3 levels initially. Participants who also exercised three times a week and took vitamin D experienced an even greater reduction in the rate of aging -- closer to four months. But Omega-3 alone turned out to have the greatest effect. This emphasizes how important nutrition is to the aging process.
Why is Omega-3 Important for Aging?
Omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and SDA (stearidonic acid), have a number of health benefits:
- Reduced inflammation Chronic inflammation is an important driver of aging. Omega-3 can help reduce inflammation levels in the body (Schots, P. C., c.2020).
- Better heart health Omega-3 has long been known to protect against cardiovascular disease, including by improving cholesterol balance and reducing blood pressure (Eilertsen, K.E., c.2012).
- Cognitive Health Support Studies show that Omega-3 plays an important role in preserving memory and cognitive function (Wasserfurth, P., c.2020).
- Metabolic Health — Marine omega-3 fatty acids can improve insulin sensitivity and contribute to a healthier metabolism (Burhop, M., c.2022).
What makes Zooca Calanus® Oil unique?
Zooca Calanus® Oil differs from traditional Omega-3 supplements such as fish oil and krill oil in several ways:
- Slow and stable release — Contains wax esters that ensure a more even absorption of Omega-3 in the body (Pedersen, A.M., c.2014).
- Marine polycosanols May contribute to better fat metabolism and energy production (Schots, P. C., c.2020).
- Natural astaxanthin — A powerful antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress (Höper, A. C., et al. 2013).
How to ensure adequate omega-3 intake?
Omega-3s are naturally found in oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and herring, but many do not get enough through their diet. A high quality omega-3 supplement that Zooca Calanus® Oil can be a simple and effective solution.
Hos Epivity Supplements We offer Zooca Calanus® Oil, a sustainable and high-quality Omega-3 supplement for those who want optimal health.
