Collection: Vegan Essential Fatty Acids (Omega)
Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are vital nutrients, essential for various bodily functions. With benefits towards cardiovascular health, brain function, joint health, and skin and hair; maintaining adequate intake is crucial for overall health.
ALA (Alpha Linolenic Acid), found in plant-based sources like flaxseeds and walnuts, needs to be converted by the body into EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) directly, which are the two most biologically active forms of omega-3 fatty acids. However, this conversion process is inefficient in humans and its estimated that only a small percentage of ALA gets converted into the more beneficial EPA and DHA, making it less effective as a direct source of these EFAs. Algae-derived omega-3 supplements are nutritionally similar to fish-derived omega-3s, and can be produced under controlled conditions, ensuring a consistent and high-quality product compared to plant based sources.
Supplement Needs OmegaVie vegan omega 3 offers an ethical and sustainable solution to increasing daily intake of EPA and DHA, with a neutral odour and taste profile, and trademarked quality.
