Our Vegan Omega-3 is extracted directly from algae cultivated in ultra pure, controlled conditions, using an environmentally responsible fermentation process. Conducted indoor, this type of production removes the need for outdoor ponds, which results in a very small ecological footprint.
The oil extraction is gentle – no chemical solvents – resulting in a pure, natural triglyceride form of algae oil. Unaffected by ocean pollution, it's FREE of heavy metals (such as mercury) and other pollutants, such as dioxins and PCBs.
It has NO artificial colourings, and it is GMO-free, lactose-free and gluten-free. A dose of 2 Essentials Vegan Omega-3 capsules contains 300 mg of DHA and 150 mg of EPA.
EPA and DHA are found in every single cell of your body, which means they play an important role in overall health. A daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA combined contributes to:
normal heart function,
the maintenance of normal brain function, and
normal vision.
The body can't make omega-3s from scratch, so you have to get them from your diet. But not all omega-3s are created equal.
Simply put, there are 3 main omega-3 fatty acids: ALA, EPA and DHA. Plant-based food sources, including chia or flax seeds and walnuts, contain ALA, the basic omega-3 fatty acid that has to be converted into EPA or DHA before it can be used by the body. But here's the problem.
Thus, to reap the overall health benefits, you need to consume EPA and DHA directly.
Common food sources include oily fish, krill oil and, of course, algae oil. As fish get their omega-3s from algae and krill, and krill get theirs from algae as well, algae is considered the primary source of these nutrients. Hence, getting EPA and DHA straight from algae oil shortens the supply chain immensely.
Research suggests less than 20% of people world wide 3 get the recommended intake of a minimum of 250 mg of omega-3 per day! Symptoms of omega-3 deficiency can include:
