Hi Luca –
We appreciate you sharing your concerns.
We created EO3 to help maximize omega-3 absorption, as 98% of Americans have been found to be omega-3 deficient. We utilize pure Norwegian cod liver oil and whey protein to create a multi-nutritional smoothie that is intended to be used as a supplement within the diet, to obtain omega-3s and protein throughout the day.
To review a few of your concerns, we use the fruit juice concentrates to sweeten EO3, but also to provide additional vitamins and antioxidants! L-carnitine is naturally present in many foods, playing a role in energy production. Tocopherols are the major forms of vitamin E – they have been shown in research to have strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
EO3 is intended to be used as a supplement, supplementing a whole-foods, balanced diet. As we do agree that ultra-processed foods should be limited, we do not agree that EO3 is one. Ultra-processed foods including chips, candy, breakfast cereals, etc. do not contain much nutritional value. However, EO3 contains a great source of essential omega-3s, high quality protein and a variety of vitamins and minerals.
By supplementing EO3 within a whole-foods diet, an individual will be able to fuel the body with essential nutrients and a good source of energy. As I am sure we can both agree on, balance is key in a healthy, sustainable lifestyle!
