Arctic Plankton Oil is a totally new kind of omega-3 fatty acid supplement: it’s produced from an exceptionally rich species of zooplankton found in the Arctic regions of the North Atlantic, now available to buy at Supersmart.
It is a new, usable source of omega-3 fatty acids, which is not only more eco-friendly, Calanus finmarchicus being the most abundant animal species on the planet, but is also nutritionally superior and free from any contamination by heavy metals.
Like the fish oil in Super Omega-3, the Calanus oil in Arctic Plankton Oil helps optimise cardiovascular health, but it also produces more marked effects on abdominal fat and insulin sensitivity.
What are the particular features of Arctic Plankton Oil?
Unlike standard omega-3 supplements, Arctic Plankton Oil contains several types of fatty acid of exceptional biological richness, and in completely new forms.
-
EPA and DHA (a scientifically-supported source of omega-3 (1)). It has been shown that these two compounds cross the blood-brain barrier by means of transport proteins specific to long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (2-3). Several clinical trials have definitively shown that when taken orally, EPA and DHA accumulate in tissues of the central nervous system.
-
Cetoleic acid and gondoic acid, two omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acids which have beneficial effects on levels of ‘good’ cholesterol, hypertension and insulin sensitivity (4).
-
Astaxanthin, a remarkable, deep red antioxidant. This powerful compound, which is responsible for the pink colour of prawns, helps protect against the harmful effects of UV rays and plays a role in the anti-inflammatory process (5).
-
Stearidonic acid (SDA), a valuable omega-3 fatty acid which is present at significant levels in hemp seeds and spirulina.
What are the recognised benefits of omega-3?
Omega-3, particularly EPA and DHA, are molecules which penetrate the fatty layers that envelope the body’s cells, known as cell membranes. From this strategic site, they influence a wide range of functions.
-
Potent anti-inflammatory effect. The incorporation of omega-3 into the body’s cell membranes effectively builds a valuable reserve which at any moment can be converted into anti-inflammatory molecules.
-
Reduced risk of cardiovascular problems. The anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 partly explain their well-documented ability to lower the risk of cardiovascular problems (hypertension, triglyceridaemia, LDL, atheromatous plaques)(8-10). But they are also able to control a large number of genes involved in lipid metabolism.
-
Optimisation of cognitive function. In penetrating cell membranes, omega-3 make cells more supple and flexible. Membranes low in omega-3 are thus abnormally rigid, slowing down neurotransmission of information, and impairing neural extension development, synapsis establishment, neural plasticity, learning, maturation of neurons and their migration towards target zones (11).
-
Protection of visual function. The DHA in Arctic Plankton Oil represents more than 30% of all the fatty acids present in the retina (12). It is one of the most important compounds constituting the membranes of the outer segments of photoreceptors and needs to be regularly renewed in order to optimise and protect vision (13).
Five reasons to choose Arctic Plankton Oil
-
The biomedical research conducted on Arctic Plankton Oil was carried out by independent scientists at the Arctic University of Norway.
-
The development of Arctic Plankton Oil is fully compatible with sustainable harvesting of the huge biological resource represented by Calanus populations.
-
Calanus finmarchicus feeds solely on phytoplankton and does not accumulate any heavy metalsunlike oily fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
-
Arctic Plankton Oil contains a rare form of omega-3 with additional benefits for metabolism.
-
It also contains several synergistic compounds such as astaxanthin, a remarkable antioxidant which protects fragile omega-3, as well as omega-9 fatty acids that counteract the dominance of omega-6.

Tensix supplement contains essential nutrients and natural ingredients that act synergistically to help regulate blood pressure. They promote several benefits, such as the relaxation and dilation of blood vessels, renal excretion of sodium, protection against free radicals and inhibiting ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) activity and production. You can buy this supplement at Supersmart and benefit from the mechanisms that will likely contribute to improve your blood pressure.
What are the benefits associated with Tensix ingredients?
- Tensideal® fish peptides act by inhibiting the action of ACE, thus restricting production of angiotensin II, a powerful vasoconstrictor, and as a result, lowering blood pressure. They exert a hypotensive effect. Supplementing with fish peptides for 13 weeks resulted in a clear improvement in blood pressure in mildly hypertensive subjects.
- According to scientific experts, magnesium (magnesium ascorbate) is a natural inhibitor of calcium which counteracts calcium-induced constriction of blood vessels, thus lowering blood pressure. Incidence of hypertension and cardiac problems is lower in populations with a high consumption of magnesium-rich foods. Daily supplementation with magnesium has been shown to reduce blood pressure.
- In hypertensive subjects, increasing potassium consumption is associated with a decrease in blood pressure. Potassium (potassium ascorbate) stimulates renal excretion of sodium.
- Daily supplementation of vitamin C for three months, significantly lowered systolic blood pressure in hypertensive subjects. Vitamin C protects endothelial function.
- Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate is more bioavailable than arginine, the precursor of nitric oxide. The latter is synthesized in the epithelial cells of artery walls, and exerts a vasodilatory effect, essential for lowering blood pressure.
- Hawthorn leaf extract is believed to affect blood pressure by relaxing and dilating the blood vessels. In mildly-hypertensive subjects, three months' supplementation resulted in a lowering of blood pressure. In diabetics receiving medication to lower blood pressure and/or blood sugar, supplementation had a hypotensive effect.
- Celery seed extract contains ingredients which dilate the blood vessels. They lower blood concentrations of stress hormones which cause the blood vessels to constrict.
