Product Notes:
Vegan Omega-3 Supplement
You've known that omega-3 fatty acids have many benefits for maintaining good health in adults, and can be especially valuable for pregnant or nursing women to pass along to their kids, because they help support cognitive and other brain function, especially during development. The DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) component of it has also been shown to help reduce inflammation, which may may help lower blood pressure and may have a protective effect against conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's. But the most common rich source of omega-3 in supplements comes from fish, which you might not want to ingest, especially if you're a vegan, or you simply don't like their taste (or aftertaste).
Whole Earth & Sea Pure Food Marine DHA is an ideal alternative: it's plant-based, made from marine-based microalgae, yet has a comparable amount of DHA as many (non-concentrated) forms of fish oil supplements, to provide pure, safe, and effective amounts of that type of essential fatty acids.
Whole Earth & Sea is a division of Natural Factors that has organic farms in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia.
