Not all omega supplements are created equal. In fact, the type of omega you take, and where it’s sourced from, could be the reason you’re either seeing glowing skin - or no change at all. Let’s break it down.
The Essential Role of Omegas in Skin Health
There are several types of essential fatty acids, but omega-3 and omega-6 are particularly important because your body needs them but can’t produce them on its own. Ever wondered why we’ve always been told to eat fish a few times a week? Fish is naturally rich in omega-3s - the kind your body can only get through diet or a quality supplement like Advanced Nutrition Programme™.
Omega-3: Plant vs Marine Sources
Plant-based omega-3 supplements are typically derived from flaxseed, chia, or hemp oil. These provide a form called ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid). While ALA is technically an essential fatty acid, it needs to be converted into two more powerful forms - EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) - before your body can use them effectively. The issue? That conversion process is highly inefficient, usually less than 5%, and even less for women over 40 approaching perimenopause or menopause.
This is where marine-based omegas stand apart. They already contain EPA and DHA in their active, bioavailable forms, meaning your body can use them straight away, no conversion required. These omegas have been clinically linked to calmer, clearer, and more hydrated skin, along with benefits for heart, brain, and joint health.
Quality and purity are key when choosing a marine omega supplement. ANP’s Skin Omegas+ features pharmaceutical-grade fish oil that’s triple-tested for over 400 contaminants and certified for purity and potency. Each batch delivers EPA and DHA from sustainably caught fish oil - so you can feel confident in what you’re taking and what your clients are recommending.
Why Plant-Only Omegas Often Fall Short
Some brands choose plant-only omegas because they’re cheaper, easier to produce, and vegan-friendly - but they simply don’t offer the same skin results. If you’re looking for a supplement that truly supports skin from within, marine-derived EPA and DHA are the forms your body recognises and knows how to use. That’s why Skin Omegas+ delivers results that are both visible and clinically proven.
Omega-6: Evening Primrose Oil for Skin and Hormonal Health
Omega-6 fatty acids, especially GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid), are essential for maintaining skin health, hormonal balance, and reducing inflammation. While many plant oils contain omega-6, evening primrose oil is considered one of the most effective and skin-specific sources. It provides a concentrated, bioavailable dose of GLA that helps strengthen the skin barrier, lock in moisture, and support dryness, sensitivity, or hormonal breakouts.
Evening primrose oil is also linked to women’s hormonal wellbeing, making it a valuable addition for clients navigating hormonal changes or perimenopausal skin. Unlike processed seed oils that can promote inflammation, evening primrose delivers targeted, anti-inflammatory omega-6 support - one of the reasons it’s a key ingredient in Skin Omegas+.
Skin Omegas+: A Complete Approach to Skin Nutrition
When it comes to achieving real skin results, Skin Omegas+ stands in a league of its own. It combines bioavailable EPA and DHA from sustainably sourced fish oil with GLA-rich evening primrose oil - creating a balanced omega profile that supports multiple aspects of skin health. Together, these nutrients help calm inflammation, enhance hydration, and strengthen the skin barrier for smoother, more radiant skin.
Many omega supplements focus only on general wellness, but Skin Omegas+ is specifically designed to deliver visible results for the skin - proven through clinical studies. Clients often notice improved hydration, smoother texture, and a more balanced complexion within weeks of consistent use.
