Beyond Supplements
How BalanceOil Restores True Balance

BalanceOil is Zinzino’s signature Omega-3 supplement designed to restore the body’s Omega-6:3 ratio to a healthier level. Unlike many off-the-shelf fish oils, it combines sustainably sourced marine oils with antioxidant-rich extra-virgin olive oil and vitamin D3, creating a blend that supports heart, brain, immune, and overall cellular health.

Origins and Concept: Built on Science, Not Guesswork

• Founded in Norway and headquartered in Sweden, Zinzino developed BalanceOil as part of its philosophy of “test-based nutrition”.

• Independent laboratories, such as Vitas in Oslo, analyse blood samples to reveal each person’s fatty acid profile before and after supplementation.

• This evidence-driven approach reassures users that the supplement is more than just marketing claims – it is backed by measurable science.

The Formula in Plain English: Fish, Olive Oil and Vitamin D3

• Fish oil: Derived from small, wild-caught fish (anchovies, sardines, mackerel) with an elevated 20/10 EPA to DHA ratio, compared with the 18/12 industry standard.

• Olive oil: Cold-pressed Spanish Picual olives, chosen for their unusually high polyphenol content, help protect Omega-3s and improve absorption.

• Vitamin D3 and antioxidants: Naturally sourced vitamin D3 (derived from lanolin) supports immunity and bone health, while tocopherols help prevent oxidation.

Together, these ingredients deliver Omega-3 in its natural triglyceride form – easy for the body to use, stable, and fresh.

BalanceOil sets itself apart by blending clinical precision with natural sourcing. It is not simply another supplement, but part of a wider nutritional strategy to correct the imbalances that modern diets often create.

Most people know Omega-3 is “good for you”, but fewer realise it is the balance between Omega-6 and Omega-3 that genuinely matters. Modern diets, heavy in processed oils and convenience foods, have pushed this ratio far from its natural state, with real consequences for health and well-being.

The Modern Diet Problem: Too Much Omega-6, Not Enough Omega-3

• In the UK and across Europe, the average Omega-6:3 ratio ranges from 12:1 to 15:1. In the US, it can be closer to 25:1. Ideally, it should be below 3:1.

• Excess Omega-6 promotes inflammatory processes in the body, which can affect everything from skin clarity to cardiovascular risk.

• Even those who consider themselves “healthy eaters” may be surprised. A patient once told me she cooked everything in sunflower oil, believing it was lighter than butter – but her blood test revealed a 17:1 ratio.

Benefits of Restoring Balance: Heart, Brain and Beyond

• Heart health: EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart by supporting healthy triglyceride and cholesterol levels.

• Brain function: DHA is vital for normal cognitive function and even supports foetal brain development during pregnancy.

• Immune support: Vitamin D3 in BalanceOil plays a central role in immune defence, particularly in climates where sun exposure is limited.

• Cell protection: Olive polyphenols protect blood lipids from oxidative stress, reducing the risk of cellular damage.

When the ratio shifts back towards balance – typically below 3:1 after consistent supplementation – people often report subtle yet noticeable changes, such as steadier energy, calmer skin, and more focused attention. It’s not an overnight miracle, but more like the constant clearing of a fogged-up window.

Fish oil supplements are everywhere – from supermarket shelves to specialist health shops – but not all are created equal. BalanceOil stands out due to its sourcing, formulation, and commitment to measurable results.

Fish Oil Quality and Sustainability: Purity at the Source

• Only small, wild-caught fish, such as anchovies, sardines, and mackerel, are used. These short-lived species naturally contain lower levels of heavy metals and environmental toxins.

• The oil is produced by LYSI in Iceland, a globally respected manufacturer known for strict purification standards.

• Friend of the Sea certification confirms sustainable practices, ensuring ecosystems are respected while delivering a cleaner supplement.

Olive Oil and Polyphenol Power: More Than a Carrier

• BalanceOil uses Spanish Picual olives, harvested early and cold-pressed for peak potency.

• These olives are unusually rich in polyphenols – natural antioxidants that protect fragile Omega-3 molecules during digestion and help deliver them safely into cell membranes.

• Polyphenols also contribute to cardiovascular protection by supporting blood lipid stability.

Stability and Freshness Standards: Avoiding the “Rancid Oil” Problem

• Many fish oils oxidise quickly, reducing effectiveness and leaving that telltale “fishy burp”. BalanceOil is tested against European Pharmacopoeia and GOED standards, with a TOTOX value (a measure of freshness) well below recommended limits.

• An Oil Stability Index (OSI) of 35 hours confirms long-lasting freshness, supported by the addition of tocopherols and olive polyphenols.

The result is a supplement that delivers Omega-3 in a form your body can actually use – stable, bioavailable, and backed by sustainability credentials.

Supplements often promise life-changing results, but the question for many health-conscious readers is simple: where’s the proof? BalanceOil is unique in that it builds its reputation not only on marketing but also on measurable science and regulatory-approved claims.

Test-Based Nutrition: Evidence You Can See

• BalanceOil is paired with a unique testing system: a small dried blood spot sample analysed by Vitas Analytical Services in Oslo.

• This reveals your individual Omega-6:3 ratio, along with other fatty acid markers, before and after supplementation.

• Over 600,000 tests have been logged, forming one of the world’s largest databases of essential fatty acid profiles.

• The results are precise: average users reduce their ratio from 15:1 or higher down to below 3:1 within 120 days of consistent use.

Clinical Evidence and EFSA Claims: Backed by Regulation

• Brain function: DHA plays a crucial role in maintaining normal brain function.

• Heart health: EPA and DHA support normal heart function and help maintain healthy triglyceride levels.

• Immune system: Vitamin D3 plays a crucial role in immune defence and normal cell division.

• Oxidative stress protection: Olive oil polyphenols protect blood lipids from oxidative damage when taken in sufficient amounts.

• All of these claims are recognised by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which provides strict criteria for supplements to meet before such wording can be used.

By linking the supplement to objective lab tests and recognised scientific standards, BalanceOil makes it easier for users to trust what they are taking. It is no longer a question of vague wellness promises but of personal, trackable results.

Even the most scientifically sound supplement only works if it is taken correctly. BalanceOil is designed to be practical, adaptable, and safe for everyday use, with guidelines that make it simple to incorporate into your routine.

Dosage and Formats: Finding What Works for You

• The recommended daily intake is 0.15 ml per kilo of body weight. For example, someone weighing 50 kg would take 7.5 ml daily, while an 80 kg adult would take 12 ml.

• BalanceOil is available in various formats, including a liquid oil (in flavours such as lemon-mint or grapefruit-lime), easy-to-swallow capsules, a water-soluble version, and a vegan-friendly blend made from marine micro-algae and Ahiflower oil.

• Taking it with food helps absorption and reduces the chance of any aftertaste.

Safety, Side Effects, and Interactions: What to Know Before Starting

• Generally well tolerated, but those taking blood-thinning medication should consult their doctor first.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women can use BalanceOil, but should consult a healthcare professional to confirm the appropriate dosage.

• The oil should be stored in the fridge once opened and consumed within 45 days for freshness. Below 4 °C, it may turn cloudy due to olive oil solidifying – it clears again at room temperature.

• BalanceOil is rigorously tested for heavy metals, PCBs, and dioxins, ensuring it stays well within EU safety standards.

By following these guidelines, BalanceOil becomes less of a supplement you “try” and more of a nutritional habit that fits seamlessly into daily life.

Scientific data is reassuring, but many people still want to know: what does this look like in real life? BalanceOil has built its reputation not just on lab tests but on the personal stories of those who have tracked their results over time.

Testimonials and Case Studies: Numbers That Tell a Story

• Many users begin with an Omega-6:3 ratio of 15:1 or higher, even if they consider their diet healthy. After 120 days on BalanceOil, it typically drops to a ratio of below 3:1.

• One client, for instance, was surprised to see her ratio fall from 17:1 to 2.8:1 within four months – a measurable change that correlated with steadier energy and clearer skin.

• Independent testing through Vitas ensures these results aren’t self-reported anecdotes but verified data.

Addressing Scepticism: Is It Just Another Supplement?

• A common concern is whether BalanceOil is just clever marketing. Unlike many over-the-counter fish oils, this product is independently tested, EFSA claim-compliant, and certified by Friend of the Sea.

• The brand’s emphasis on measurable outcomes (before-and-after blood tests) sets it apart from generic supplements that offer no way to prove effectiveness.

• Transparency in sourcing and production – from Icelandic purification to Spanish olive oil – reinforces its credibility.

Hearing real-life stories, backed by independent numbers, often helps the science feel more tangible. It is not just about ratios on a page but about everyday well-being – the quiet but meaningful differences people notice in focus, energy, or skin health.

Choosing a supplement is never just about the science – it’s about whether it fits your lifestyle, goals, and values. BalanceOil is designed for individuals who seek more than generic “wellness”; they desire measurable improvements and a product that aligns with sustainability and quality.

Who It’s Best For: People Who Value Measurable Change

• Women in their 30s and 40s who juggle work, family, and personal wellbeing, and may be feeling the effects of stress or a modern diet.

• Young professionals who want to optimise energy, focus, and long-term health markers without experimenting unquestioningly.

• Anyone who has tested and found their Omega-6:3 ratio is out of balance – or suspects it might be.

• Health-conscious families who want a trusted supplement with options for different dietary needs, including vegan alternatives.

When to Consider Alternatives: Situations That Need a Different Approach

• Those following a fully vegan lifestyle may prefer an algae-based Omega-3 oil rather than a marine blend.

• Individuals prescribed high-dose Omega-3s by their doctor should follow medical guidance before adding BalanceOil.

• If you struggle with oils altogether, consider consulting a practitioner about capsule formats or alternative delivery systems.

For many, BalanceOil represents a shift from guesswork to clarity – knowing your numbers, tracking your progress, and supporting your health with something more substantial than a one-size-fits-all fish oil.

If you’re curious, the simplest next step is testing your Omega balance. From there, you can decide whether BalanceOil is the right choice for you.

BalanceOil is less about chasing the latest wellness trend and more about restoring something our modern diets have quietly disrupted: the natural balance of essential fats our bodies rely on. What makes it different is not only the purity of its ingredients but also the fact that its impact can be measured, providing evidence rather than empty promises.

For anyone looking to protect long-term heart, brain, and immune health, or simply wanting the reassurance that their supplement is doing what it claims, BalanceOil offers a practical way forward. It combines sustainability with clinical rigour, and the result is a product that seamlessly integrates into daily life.

If you are curious about your own Omega balance, the simplest step is testing. From there, you can explore whether BalanceOil is the right choice for you, ideally with guidance from a trusted practitioner who understands your wider health and lifestyle goals. It is often in these small but measurable changes that confidence in your wellbeing begins to grow.
