Omega 3

Omega 3 is a group of dietary fat which has numerous beneficial effects in the body. They help to regulate inflammation, support brain function, facilitate cellular signalling amongst many other functions! It's no wonder that if we don't get enough of them that problems can arise. In the UK many people consume diets high in omega 6 (grains, meat, vegetable oils) and low in omega 3 (oily fish, flaxseed, chia seeds, walnuts). The result of this imbalance is long term chronic inflammation which can lead to a whole host of problems. Humans can't produce omega 3 so we need to get it from our diet. Normally vegetarian sources of omega 3 like flaxseed are well absorbed but the body has trouble utilising it, especially if the diet is high in omega 6. This is where algae has advantage as it provides a much more potent source of vegan omega 3 by containing the biologically active EPA and DHA - this means the body doesn't have to do any work to utilise them.

Our products are suitable for everyone, we just protect animals and the environment along the way!

Many people still don't get enough omega 3 from their diet. Furthermore there is a difference between the bare minimum intake to prevent deficiency and an effective amount to help you thrive. Some people require higher levels than others. Higher levels of omega 6 in the diet can result in lower levels of EPA and DHA. Some people also have trouble absorbing fats, for example people with gallbladder issues. The NHS advises us to eat at least 1 portion of oily fish per week to get enough omega 3. However, omega 3 content of fish varies hugely and cooking can damage omega 3. Furthermore, we're advised to be careful about our intake of fish which are potential sources of toxins. We think if you can choose a vegan source of omega 3 you should always choose it! Our algae omega 3 provides a safe, effective way to supplement your daily intake. 

Omega 3 is well documented in research to support the brain, heart and much more!

Algae provides a more sustainable, purer, vegan form of omega 3 with superior effectiveness to many fish oils. Our algal oil comes in triglcyeride form, meaning it is better absorbed and utilised in the body than many adulterated fish oils.
