WHY DO WE COMBINE SCHISANDRA WITH OMEGA-3?
Due to this unique combination, we are able to offer very powerful products, in which we take advantage of the benefits of both natural active ingredients. On the one hand, omega-3 oil increases the bioavailability of schisandrins. This means that more schisandrins enter our body and therefore we can take advantage of its beneficial effects with a lower daily dose. On the other hand, both schisandrins and omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) have very similar effects that result in very important synergies.
