ZINZINO
Brand's website: ZINZINOZinzino is a Norwegian company that has been on the market since 2005. In 2012, Zinzino acquired a 6% stake in the Norwegian company BioActive Foods AS and obtained the exclusive right to market its products and concepts. This was the beginning of a new era and Zinzino began to focus on health and body care. The concept of Zinzino Balance was born. In 2014, Zinzino acquired an 85% stake in Faun Pharma AS, a Norwegian company with a fully equipped, modern manufacturing facility and valuable experience in the development of health products, dietary supplements and cosmetics. It was a brand new facility where Zinzino began to research, develop and manufacture new products - efficiently and with high quality. In the same year, Zinzino bought out BioActive Foods and became the sole owner with a 100% stake. The deal has enabled us to better manage the development and growth of the Zinzino Balance concept.
Zinzino provides best-in-class, state-of-the-art and customized nutritional supplements as well as skin care products. The name of the brand was created during brainstorming when the company was founded. The founders liked that the word "Zinzino" doesn't carry any meaning yet, so the company itself can supply it. They specialize mainly in dietary supplements with omega-3 (EPA and DHA) fatty acids. They are based on the findings of a new scientific discipline - pharmaconutritional nutrition, which, unlike the current way of dealing with health problems, does not just suppress symptoms, but seeks to support the body's natural protective, defensive and regenerative processes. Their products are backed by a team of scientific experts and test-backed results. This is what makes this brand unique - before taking the supplements you can do the so-called "supplementation". Balance test to find out what ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 you have in your cells.
Why is a balanced ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 so important?
Omega-3 long-chain fatty acids is the collective name for a group of polyunsaturated fatty acids (EPA, DHA). Omega-3 fatty acids cannot be produced by the human body on its own, so they must be supplied as part of the diet. However, supplementing essential omega 3 (EPA, DHA) in the right ratio - omega 6 : omega 3 (3:1) is almost impossible nowadays due to the lack of fresh fatty fish intake and the increasing consumption of industrially processed foods. For this reason, 95% of Europeans fail to get to a 3:1 ratio of omega3 to omega6 with diet alone. To balance this imbalance, it is advisable to supplement with Omega 3.
An imbalance of omega 6 and omega 3 affects the body and mind. Their balanced ratio is important for many body processes and functions. From brain function to muscle function, protection from oxidative stress to normal blood pressure and much more. We do get omega 3 from fish, but unfortunately not from the ones you buy in the store. The fish themselves get their Omega 3 from eating seaweed and most fish on the market, such as salmon, come from closed farms where they are fed compound feed. Therefore, they don't have any Omega 3 in their body.
Composition of the highest quality
Zinzino's products are based on a blend of fish oil (from whole, unprocessed, mainly wild, short-lived species of small fish such as anchovies and sardines), rich in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) and extra virgin olive oil from a special Spanish variety of Picual, which is highly rich in polyphenols and other beneficial substances. However, vegans can also choose from their products - the range also includes BalanceOil+ made from olive oil and seaweed.
The industry that manufactures dietary supplements with Omega 3 protects these fatty acids by artificially adding vitamin E as a preservative. However, it has been shown that vitamin E does not sufficiently prevent the oxidation of Omega 3 fatty acids during absorption, but can become a pro-oxidant under certain circumstances, rendering these supplements non-functional or even potentially harmful to the body! Therefore, we recommend that every consumer of Omega 3 dietary supplements verify their effectiveness with the BalanceTest. If the test shows a deficiency of Omega-3 fatty acids in cell membranes, it is up to everyone to consider whether it makes sense to consume such a dysfunctional dietary supplement.
