Vegan Omega 3 (Rich in EPA & DHA) - 120 softgels - Plantforce

What is Plantforce Vegan Omega-3 Algae Oil

Plantforce Vegan Omega-3 Algae Oil is an excellent source of the vital long-chain fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) & docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Our omega-3 algae oil is perfect for vegans. Especially since there are no dietary sources of EPA or DHA for vegans. Since the body cannot synthesize EPA and DHA efficiently, supplementation is the only reliable route. All our algae oil batches undergo advanced testing procedures to ensure product quality and our commitment to putting the consumer first. It's also a great addition to those who are following a keto diet

What are Omega-3 fatty acids?

What is EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid)

EPA supports the local inflammatory responses. For example, if you twisted your ankle and it became inflamed, EPA would exert its effect locally at the ankle joint. EPA also contributes to maintaining average circulating fatty acid concentrations and regulating mood.

What is DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid)

DHA is incorporated into 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 fortified products (an additional 200 mg/day on top of the diet) to support the eye and brain development of the fetus.

Why Choose Plantforce Vegan Omega-3 Algae Oil?

Sustainable Production

The algae for Plantforcealgae oilare cultivated indoors in large steel tanks using fermentation technology. Subsequently, the omega-3rich oil is extracted. This is an environmentally friendly and sustainable method, and environmental toxins that bioaccumulate in fish and fish oil are completely avoided.

Free from contaminants & antibiotics

Some fish oils contain environmental pollutants like DDT, dioxins, and polychlorinated biphenyls. The presence of heavy metals, antibiotics, and other contaminants in some fish oil brands has also been reported.

Algal oils are deemed safe in industry, have the same bioavailability as Omega-3 fish oils, and are even used as a source of DHA & EPA in infant formula. (Source:ScienceDirect)

Rich in bioactive compounds

Bioactive molecules such as beta carotene, lutein, astaxanthin, chlorophyll, phycobiliprotein, and polyunsaturated fatty acids can be produced by algae and are beneficial to humans and animals' health development. (Source:ScienceDirect)

Neutral Taste & Odor

The lack of odor is one of the main advantages of microalgae over fish oils. (Source: ScienceDirect) Algal oils do not have scents, unlike fish oils, limiting their use(Source: ScienceDirect). Also, unlike most fish oils, algal oils are tasteless.

Affordable and high dose of EPA and DHA

Our Plantforce Vegan Omega-3 is a higher dosage and a more reasonable offer.

Key health aspects of Algae oil - Vegan Omega-3

Algae oil and, more specifically, omega-3 fatty acids play various roles in the body and have many healthful properties, including the following.

Anti-inflammatory properties

Extremely strong evidence for anti-inflammatory properties (Source: Pubmed.gov) The omega 3 fatty acids provide precursors, or the raw materials, to produce anti-inflammatory molecules known as eicosanoids.

Brain function & development

Omega 3 fatty acid intake has been shown to protect against cognitive decline in adults. Studies reporting these findings have observed better performance on tests of nonverbal reasoning and mental flexibility, working memory, and vocabulary with higher DHA status (Source:Pubmed.gov).

Healthy brain development in children: Intervention studies have shown improved maternal DHA nutrition decreases the risk of poor visual development (Source: Pubmed.gov).

Muscle maintenance & repair

Omega-3 fatty acids are believed to enhance protein synthesis, which is the process of muscle building from the building blocks, amino acids. Omega-3 seems to have anabolic properties in healthy young and middle-aged adults (Source: Pubmed.gov).

EPA & DHA are also believed to reduce delayed onset of muscle soreness, which improves the ability to increase training frequency in men (Source: Pubmed.gov).

Mood & mental state

Studies have observed improved mood scores after supplementing Omega-3 fatty acids (Source: Pubmed.gov). In addition, lower anxiety (Source: Pubmed.gov) & inflammatory markers (Source: Pubmed.gov) have also been reported from supplementation.
