Vegan Omega-3 Algae Oil 970 mg EPA and DHA, 60 VegaGels

Omega-3 fatty acids – the ‘good fats’

Omega-3 fatty acids are found primarily in sea fish and are a key reason why fish is considered so healthy. As essential fatty acids, omega-3s must be obtained through diet. From the foetal stage right through to old age, an adequate supply of omega-3 is of great importance for our well-being and development (see nutritional properties). As we obtain the majority of our omega-3 from animal products, those following a plant-based diet should pay particular attention to their omega-3 intake.

Vegan omega-3 – animal-free from the algae Schizochytrium

Vegan omega-3 is produced from the algae Schizochytrium . Using an environmentally friendly process, the oil is extracted from the algae in an artificial seawater tank. The artificial seawater also ensures the purity and quality of the product, as there are no pollutants in the water.
Vegan Omega is highly concentrated, containing 175 mg of EPA and 310 mg of DHA per capsule .
Rosemary and mixed tocopherols also ensure that the omega-3 does not oxidise, thus extending its shelf life.
