True Omegas+: The Inner Circle Results

At Ancient + Brave, we believe citizen science is one of the most powerful ways to understand what wellness means in real life. That’s why we continuously invest in research on your favourite wellbeing rituals.

Here, we share the results of the 2025 Ancient + Brave True Omegas+ Inner Circle citizen science study, which revealed exciting new insights into the way Omega-3  supplements support the daily life of women aged 45+.

What are Omega-3s and why do we need them? 

Omega‑3s are essential fats that our bodies can’t make, meaning we must consume them through dietary sources. 

Found in oily fish, as well as marine or vegan Omega-3 supplements containing EPA and DHA, they play crucial roles in everyday well-being and support: 

• Vision*

• Heart health*

• Brain health*

An Omega-3 Index of 8% or higher is associated with better long-term well-being; however, modern diets are typically lacking in these essential fats. 

What is the True Omegas+ Inner Circle study?

We created True Omegas+, our plant-based omega supplement, to help bridge this gap in essential fats, but we didn't stop there. 

At Ancient + Brave, we believe in delivering proven results over promises, so we invested in a UK Omega-3 study in collaboration with Neovos Labs and our valued Inner Circle community. 

Conducted in 2025, this significant UK Omega-3 trial aimed to explore whether taking True Omegas+ could optimise your Omega-3 Index and, in turn, help support your body in getting more of these essential fats that it needs to support whole body health.

What did the True Omegas+ study assess?

Involving 30 healthy women from our Inner Circle citizen science community, this citizen-science trial was of real-world, open‑label design, meaning participants took True Omegas⁺ as part of their normal routines without lifestyle restrictions.

Participants took a daily serving of True Omegas⁺ supplement for 12 weeks and had blood taken at 0, six and 12 weeks, allowing our research team to track:

• The Omega-3 Index: The percentage of omega-3 fats in red blood cells

• EPA and DHA: The key active ‘good fats’ in omega-3s 

• Omega-6: Omega-3 ratio: A key indicator of blood fat balance

True Omegas+ Inner Circle Findings 

We are thrilled to reveal that independent analysis by Neovos Labs shows that a daily serving of True Omegas+ can meaningfully improve the omega-3 Index by a staggering 50%  within 12 weeks.

Results at a glance: 

• Omega-3 Index improved by 50% in just 12 weeks, demonstrating the fast-acting efficiency of True Omega’s

• Levels of DHA -the Omega-3 that supports memory and cognitive function - also increased by 38% after taking True Omegas+ for just 12 weeks.

• EPA levels climbed too, by an impressive 49%  in just 12 weeks

• Omega-6:3 Ratio: Finally, our study showed that True Omegas can also help to rebalance the Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio. After 12 weeks, this had improved by 24%, nearing the ideal ratio of 4:1 

What this means for you:

These Omega-3 results show that even in a real-world, at-home setting, True Omegas+ can meaningfully elevate Omega-3 status within a relatively short period, giving you the confidence that their daily ritual is making a measurable difference.

These important results also provide confidence that True Omegas⁺ delivers impactful change, verified by independent lab data and confirmed by real people.

A word from our Inner Circle 

Numbers tell one part of the story, but our Inner Circle participants also felt the difference of making True Omegas+ part of their wellbeing ritual.
