OMEGA 3 DHA + EPA CAPSULES
It is important to get enough omega 3, this can be done using an algae-based supplement. Algae are organisms that produce omega 3 fatty acids in water. These capsules are therefore completely vegan.
1 package contains 90 capsules.
Omega 3 fatty acids are important for your brain and eyes and also protect against cardiovascular disease. Many people think that omega 3 is only found in fatty fish. So what if you eat vegetarian or vegan? No worries! In fact, fish do not naturally contain that omega 3, but instead get it from algae. You can also get omega 3 from various plant sources, but to play it completely safe (especially if you eat mostly plant-based foods), it's best to take a daily omega 3 supplement based on algae oil.
The most well-known omega 3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). ALA the body cannot make itself, so you must obtain this fatty acid through diet. We therefore call it an essential fatty acid. The body itself makes EPA and DHA from ALA. But this provides only a small amount of EPA and DHA. Fish cannot make EPA and DHA themselves, but get it from algae. Nowadays, EPA and DHA can also be obtained directly from algae.
If you eat only plant-based foods and may not absorb enough omega 3 sources in the diet (walnuts, flaxseed (oil), hemp seed, chia seed), we recommend choosing this combination of DHA + EPA. For small children, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and thus the intake of sufficient omega 3 is especially important, the combination of DHA + EPA is also definitely the best option. Do you still eat fish occasionally? Or do you deliberately get plenty of omega 3 fatty acids through other plant sources? Then you can go for a supplement DHA.
