You only have one life – take care of it! Protection against dangerous lifestyle related illnesses such as cancer and cardiovascular disease is the focus on stand 1512, where 1Life is launching its new blood test and supplement range designed to restore the crucial balance of Omega 6/Omega 3, which is required to maintain a healthy body.

Bernard Bader, Marketing Director of 1Life, is keen to raise awareness about the important role the correct balance of Omega 6/Omega 3 plays within the body and to meet with practitioners and retailers interested in stocking his new range used by a number of top Olympic athletes including award winning Norwegian cyclist Gunn Rita.

Developed by scientists at Milan University in Italy and St. Olav’s University Hospital, Trondheim, Norway, the 1Life test measures the degree to which we are protected against lifestyle diseases on the basis of risk factors such as Omega-3 level and the important ratio between Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids in the cells. “You have just one life”, said Bernard Bader, “it’s important that you take care of it”. The 1Life programme aims to both provide a clear understanding of the current fatty acid profile in the body and to offer targeted treatments to help restore and maintain the balance within 100 days.

The home test kit is straightforward - the easy-to-use pen device allows you to perform a finger prick in order to deposit a few drops of blood on the test paper. The blood sample can then be sent for analysis in the pre-addressed envelope found inside the kit. Tests are completely anonymous - identifiable only by a single use reference code.

Test results are available online after 10 days from www.1life63.co.uk . The test gives a protection rating from 0–100%, which indicates the degree to which the composition of fatty acids in our diets will protect us from developing lifestyle diseases. The test also uses the fatty acid profile to determine levels of saturated fat, monounsaturated fat, polyunsaturated vegetable oils and fish oils in our blood. This provides targeted guidance on how we can adjust our diets accordingly.

As the World Health Organisation (WHO) predicts that by 2020 70% of all illness will be caused by poor diet and lifestyle, the 1Life test allows us to efficiently monitor the risk factors of diet. It provides a clear protection rating score and measures individual fatty acid levels, making targeted dietary adjustment easy.

Also featured at Campexpo will be the company’s 1Life Active Oil and Soft Gels available in vanilla and lemon flavours and based on a unique mixture of extra virgin olive oil and fish oil, which sets it apart from other products on market. The formula prevents oil from oxidising in the body and therefore protects cells from injuries caused by oxidative stress. Other Omega-3 products which use Vitamin E or similar compounds as antioxidants, can protect the oil whilst on the shelf, but not inside the body. Such products may not be recommended to restore and maintain fatty acid balance, since the Omega-3 dose required may result in the oil going off or oxidizing in the body and causing damage.

Powder based 1Life formulas that can be sprinkled on food or added to drinks will also be on show and a new nutrition bar for those on the go.
