Essential Fatty Acids & Motherhood: Why It Matters

Pregnancy is a profound time of change and as the body prepares to grow and nourish new life, nutritional needs shift significantly. Among the most important nutrients are Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, which play vital roles before, during and after pregnancy.

Omega-3s support cell membrane health, regulate inflammatory and immune responses, and strengthen the intestinal barrier, helping to reduce systemic inflammation. For fertility and pregnancy, this is crucial. Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPs), the building blocks of fats, are especially important for both mothers and babies. They contribute to brain development¹, nervous system function², and healthy vision³.

With the worlds largest peer reviewed publication on omega 3, Zinzino’s test-based nutrition concept is world-leading. Read more here: https://lipidworld.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12944-025-02676-6

Prenatal supplementation with Omega-3 is recommended at least six months before conception. These nutrients remain just as important throughout pregnancy, after delivery, and during breastfeeding, supporting maternal well-being while also aiding fetal brain and eye development, reducing the risk of preterm birth and promoting healthy growth in infants. Balanced Omega 6:3 ratios provide benefits from preconception right through to all stages of life.

Why BalanceOil+ Stands Out

BalanceOil+ is a premium Omega-3 supplement enriched with olive polyphenols and vitamin D3. Unlike standard fish oil, its high polyphenolic content improves nutrient absorption and protects cells from oxidation. Derived from wild-caught small fish and pre-harvest extra virgin olive oil, BalanceOil+ adjusts and maintains healthy EPA + DHA levels and supports the optimal Omega 6:3 ratio. It also contributes to normal heart², brain¹, and immune⁴ function.

Safety and purity are key during pregnancy. BalanceOil+ is sustainably sourced, molecularly tested for toxins and free from environmental contaminants, making it a safe choice for expectant and new mothers. With its natural taste and easy integration into a smoothie or juice, it’s a convenient daily habit.

With over 15 EFSA-approved health benefits, BalanceOil+ helps women navigate the physical and emotional demands of pregnancy and beyond. It’s more than a supplement. It’s a daily step toward ensuring the body is in its best possible state for motherhood.

Is your omega 6:3 ratio in balance? Test! Don’t guess!
