Plantforce Vegan Omega 3 Algae Oil
Plantforce Vegan Omega 3 Algae Oil is an exceptional source of the vital long-chain fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) & amp; docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The advantage of it is that it is grown in a controlled manner in environments such as fermentation tanks, resulting in high quality, environmentally friendly, long-lasting oil that is free from contaminants.
Unfortunately, there are no dietary sources of EPA or DHA for vegans. Since the body cannot synthesize EPA and DHA efficiently, a supplement is the only reliable option. All algae oil in our range undergoes advanced testing procedures to ensure product quality.
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in Plantforce Vegan Omega 3
EPA supports the local inflammatory reactions, for example, if you have twisted your ankle and it has started to become infected, EPA offers a local effect at the ankle joint. EPA also helps maintain normal circulating fatty acid levels and regulate mood.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in Plantforce Vegan Omega 3
DHA is contained in our cell membranes which provide structure and function. DHA also supports brain function and eye health. It is imperative for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers to supplement or obtain adequate DHA through supplements (200mg extra per day on top of the diet) to support fetal eye and brain development.
Important Health Benefits of (vegan) Omega-3 Fatty Acids
- Algae oil - and more specifically omega-3 fatty acids - play different roles in the body and have many healthful properties, below is a list of the best available evidence:
- There is extremely strong evidence for the anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 fatty acids (Source: Pubmed.gov )
- Omega 3 protects against cognitive decline in adults: better performance in tests of non-verbal reasoning and mental flexibility, working memory, and vocabulary with a higher DHA status (Source: Pubmed.gov ).
- Healthy brain development in children: intervention studies have shown that improved maternal DHA nutrition reduces the risk of poor visual development (Source: Pubmed.gov ).
- Omega-3 fatty acids enhance protein synthesis: Omega-3 appears to have anabolic properties in healthy young and middle-aged adults (Source: Pubmed.gov ).
- EPA & amp; DHA can reduce delayed muscle soreness, resulting in the ability to increase exercise frequency in untrained men (Source: Pubmed.gov ).
- Omega-3 can improve mood (Source: Pubmed.gov).
- Reduces anxiety (Source: Pubmed.gov) & inflammatory markers (Source: Pubmed.gov ): possible anxiolytic effects in people without a diagnosis of an anxiety disorder.
- Algae oil has a low content of toxins & amp; pollutants (Source: Pubmed.gov ).
