01Is an omega-3 supplement a medicine?

A food supplement is not a medicine and must not be presented as preventing, treating or curing disease. Prescription omega-3 medicines are a separate category.

02What does the omega-6:3 ratio mean?

It describes measured omega-6 relative to omega-3. Method and sample type matter, so results from different laboratories are not always directly comparable.

03Does a home test replace a doctor?

No. It may provide additional information but does not diagnose disease or replace medical assessment.

04How much EPA and DHA is in a product?

Read the label and daily serving. Total fish-oil weight is not the same as the combined EPA and DHA amount.

05Can I buy on this site?

No. Checkout takes place in Zinzino’s official shop through the marked partner link.

06Can I take omega-3 with medication?

Ask a doctor or pharmacist if you take medication, have a bleeding disorder, are pregnant, have planned surgery or a known medical condition.

07Is fish oil or algal oil better?

Neither category is best for everyone. Compare diet, allergy, EPA and DHA needs, dose, quality information and usability. Judge the specific label, not only the source.

08Is triglyceride form always better than ethyl ester?

Form can affect the conditions of absorption, but it does not determine total product quality on its own. Daily EPA+DHA, taking it with food, freshness, purity and tolerability all matter.

09How can I tell whether an oil is oxidised?

Reliable assessment requires laboratory testing. Look for peroxide, anisidine or TOTOX information, follow storage instructions and do not use a product with damaged packaging or clearly unusual characteristics.

10How quickly can a fatty acid profile change?

Change is not immediate and depends on sample type, diet, dose, consistency and individual factors. Choose repeat timing from the test methodology and appropriate professional advice.

11Can omega-3 be used with anticoagulants?

Discuss this with the treating clinician or pharmacist. Do not alter medication or begin a higher-dose supplement solely from internet information or a home test.

12How should I choose for a child or during pregnancy?

Dose, source, contaminant control and the individual diet require particular care. Seek paediatric, maternity or dietetic advice and use only a product suitable for the relevant group.

13Is there one ideal omega-6:3 ratio for everyone?

One ratio cannot describe the whole diet or a person’s health. Sample type, formula, absolute fatty acid values and individual context are needed to interpret it responsibly.
