Omegaco by Excelgenics — Bridging the Omega-3 Gap in Vegetarian Diets with Pure Flaxseed Oil
Background Rationale
Omegaco directly addresses a foundational nutritional deficiency in vegetarian and plant-based diets: the lack of sufficient omega-3 fatty acids for cardiovascular, hormonal, and cognitive health. By delivering 560 mg cold-pressed flaxseed oil per capsule, rich in alpha linolenic acid (ALA), Omegaco offers an ethically sourced, chemical-free alternative to fish
oils.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih+1
Bioavailability Safety
- Flaxseed oil is identified as the richest dietary source of ALA, showing greater absorption efficacy when provided as oil compared to whole or milled seeds.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih+2
- Omegaco’s solvent-free extraction preserves oil integrity and ensures zero contaminants (mercury, PCBs, ocean pollutants), ideal for sensitive populations and dietary restrictions.mayoclinic+1
- Plant-based capsules are suited for Indian, Jain, and vegetarian consumers, supporting inclusivity and sustainability.
Clinical Data on Cardiovascular Health
- In a meta-regression analysis, ALA supplementation led to linear increases in plasma ALA and modest rises in EPA, with measurable effects on lipid profiles and inflammatory markers.sciencedirect+2
- Randomized trials in diabetic and cardiovascular-risk cohorts demonstrate significant reductions in triglycerides, improved endothelial function, and lowered high-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP), a key marker of vascular inflammation.jtd.amegroups+1
- Flaxseed oil supplementation over 2–4 months showed optimal effects for metabolic improvement at 20–30 ml/day or 30–40 g/day of powder.sciencedirect

Vegetarian Omega-3 for Cardiovascular, Cognitive, and Hormonal Wellness —
Omegaco’s Clinical Strength
Cardiometabolic and Cognitive Benefits
- ALA is metabolized to EPA (but not efficiently to DHA), supporting neuronal membrane integrity, focus, and mood balance.harvard+2
- Trials comparing flaxseed oil to fish oil in diabetic and cardiovascular populations reveal similar efficacy in lowering triglycerides, insulin resistance, and hsCRP, with fewer GI side effects and improved patient compliance.jtd.amegroups+1
- Flaxseed oil’s effect is most robust in lowering serum insulin and hsCRP (inflammation), with clinical evidence showing increased survival in some cohorts.jtd.amegroups
Hormonal and Joint Health
- Flaxseed ALA supplementation supports estrogen metabolism and is recommended in clinical literature for menstrual and hormonal symptom relief.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih
- Omega-3s from flaxseed oil help suppress cytokine overactivity, modulate prostaglandin biosynthesis, and benefit bone health and joint flexibility.iadns.onlinelibrary.wiley+1
- Bone health trials show improved markers of osteoblast and osteoclast activity after flaxseed oil supplementation, with potential implications for osteoporosis.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih
Dietary Suitability and Purity
- Omegaco’s plant-based, solvent-free formulation offers zero fishy aftertaste, zero allergens, and is free from synthetic preservatives, aligning with environmental and ethical priorities.iadns.onlinelibrary.wiley+1

Technical Insights and Clinical Data — Omegaco’s Science-backed Omega-3 for
Modern Lifestyles
Mechanisms and Conversion
- Flaxseed oil’s ALA (7.2 g per tbsp) converts to EPA at modest rates, providing long-term anti-inflammatory and lipid-moderating effects despite limited DHA elevation, making regular supplementation vital for vegetarians.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih+2
- Bioavailability is highest in oil form, reaching circulation within 2 weeks of initiation, and unaffected by age or sex.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih
Clinical Outcomes
- 12-week supplementation of 1,000 mg flaxseed oil (400 mg ALA) in diabetic nephropathy patients significantly reduced serum insulin and triglyceride, increased insulin sensitivity, and lowered VLDL cholesterol.jtd.amegroups
- Another meta-analysis found ALA supplementation improves survival, lowers cardiovascular events, and reduces plaque formation in at-risk adults.mayoclinic+1
- Bone and joint health are improved via modulation of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α), with marked reductions in osteoclast activity and histopathological improvements in bone structure observed in supplemented animal cohorts.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih
