The vegan version of our flagship omega supplement offers EPA and DHA from algae, which is a more sustainable source than fish oil. This dietary supplement helps strengthen immune functions, improve cardiovascular health and reduce inflammation.
It’s easy to get enough ALA omega-3 fats from flax, chia, hemp seeds and walnuts. However, it’s more challenging to reach optimal levels of EPA and DHA due to their low conversion rates.
Our bodies can make a variety of healthy fats but there are two that are essential – linoleic acid (LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). These must be consumed through diet to achieve adequate blood levels.
Eating a balanced diet that includes flax seeds, walnuts, hemp seeds, chia seeds and canola oil, cruciferous vegetables such as brussels sprouts and cabbage and leafy greens can help you get enough ALA to meet your daily needs.
However, it’s hard to get the levels of EPA and DHA required in sufficient quantities from these sources alone. This is why a vegan Omega 3 supplement is recommended. Our Advanced Plant Omegas is formulated to support a healthy heart and brain with DHA and EPA from microalgae in a small softgel for twice-daily dosing.
Vitamin D3
Intakes of the Omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are typically lower in vegetarians than in non-vegetarians. This vegan supplement contains EPA and DHA from microalgae, sparing the lives of fish and other animals.
Your primary source of Omega-3 should come from your diet, and eating more ALA-rich foods like edamame, flax seeds, walnuts, chia seeds and broccoli is the best way to do that. However, for the easiest and most convenient source of heart-healthy EPA and DHA, choose this New Chapter product derived from powerful fermented microalgae. It’s also sustainably sourced, which is better for the environment than over-fishing fish oil. The unique formulation also supports a healthy immune system to keep you feeling young and vibrant.
Supports a Healthy Heart and Brain
The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oils are known to support normal brain function and reduce age-related cognitive decline. They can also reduce inflammation and may help alleviate the symptoms of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or chronic sinusitis.
Omega-3 fatty acids are abundantly available in plant-based foods, including chia seeds and flaxseeds, which contain alpha-linoleic acid (ALA). However, it’s not as easy to consume enough ALA to meet your daily requirements with the average food intake.
And while fish is a natural source of omega-3, overfishing is a major sustainability issue and mercury contamination is an ongoing health concern. Luckily, Advanced Plant Omegas provides a high-potency source of EPA and DHA, made with sustainably-sourced microalgae. This formula is Non-GMO Project verified, vegan and formulated with specialized pro-resolving mediators to help support normal inflammation responses in the body.
More Comfortable Joints
Many people find their joints become stiff or painful as they age, and this can be due to a variety of factors. One reason is that the lubricating fluid and cartilage between the joints can deteriorate, leading to joint pain [1]. Omega-3 fatty acids like EPA are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and for helping to reduce pain associated with arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.
A supplement like Advanced Plant Omegas is carefully formulated with algal oil to deliver the DPA, EPA, and DHA essential fatty acids needed for brain, eye, heart, and joint health. The supplement’s softgels are also sustainably sourced and carrageenan free for added comfort.* The product is available in 120 capsules. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
Strengthens Your Immune System
Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids are important for whole-body health. They boost cognitive function and support eye health. But plant foods typically contain only ALA, which must be converted to two other omega-3 fatty acids — EPA and DHA — in order to bestow the benefits of these essential nutrients.
Fortunately, there are several ways to get the essential fatty acids your body needs, even if you cannot consume fish due to allergies or a preference for vegetarian or vegan diets. One option is to consume ground flax seeds or chia seeds, which are a good source of ALA.
But to ensure you receive enough DHA, EPA, and DPA, opt for a premium marine algae-sourced Omega-3 supplement. Tahiro’s Advanced Plant Omega-3 is carefully formulated with high-quality microalgae oil to provide 40mg of DPA, 150mg of EPA, and 300mg of DHA in each softgel.
