- Ascenta Health - NutraVege Omega-3 Liquid Plant Sourced 400mg DHA + 550mg SDA Juicy Citrus Flavor - 6.8 oz. (200 mL) Formerly High Potency DHA, GLA & SDA Vegetarian Supplement Citrus Ascenta Health NutraVege Omega-3 Liquid Plant Sourced 400mg DHA + 550mg SDA Juicy Citrus Flavor is a vegetarian source of omega-3 for those who prefer a plant-based source of omega-3. NutraVege is a vegetarian source of omega-3 derived from the echium plant and algae. Together, they provide complete sources of DHA, GLA, & SDA (which readily converts to EPA) that’s much more potent and effective than flax. A More Complete Omega-3 Than Flax Balanced Vegetarian Formula Provides the Benefits of Fish Oil without the Fish Clean, Light Taste Delicious & Vegetarian Friendly Guaranteed Pure 1% For the Planet Here’s How NutraVege’s Unique Blend Works: Stearidonic acid (SDA) converts to EPA at a rate of up to 30% (compared to 3.28% for flax) Echium is also a source of the omega-6 gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Unlike most omega-6 fatty acids, GLA supports an anti-inflammatory effect in the body and promotes healthy skin. Algal DHA is an exceptional DHA source. Unlike land plants, certain aquatic species can synthesize the omega-3 DHA. Since the DHA content in most fish originates from the algae they consume, the DHA present in NutraVege is identical to that found in fish. NutraVege vs. Flax Echium plantagineum, a common plant native to many parts of the world including western and southern Europe, represents an exciting alternative source of omega-3. Unlike flax seed oil, echium oil contains the omega-3 Stearidonic acid (SDA), which readily converts to EPA. Studies have demonstrated that SDA from echium converts to EPA at a rate of up to 30% (compared to 3.28% for flax). A further advantage of echium is that it is also a natural source of the omega-6 gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Unlike most omega-6 fatty acids, GLA supports an anti-inflammatory effect in the body and promotes healthy skin Algal DHA, from the marine algae Schizochytrium sp.,is an exceptional source of DHA. Unlike land plants, certain aquatic species have the ability to synthesize the omega-3 DHA. The DHA content in most fish originates from the consumption of algae; therefore, the DHA present in NutraVege is identical to that found in fish.

Why you need omega 3: Omega-3 fatty acids are "good fats" that are essential for optimal health. Like vitamins and minerals, omega-3 must be provided by our diet as it is not produced by our bodies. EPA and DHA are the active forms of omega-3 required by the body to perform vital functions: Omega-3 (EPA & DHA) function in the body Promotes cardiovascular health Reduces inflammation Supports mental focus & cognitive function Supports positive mood & emotional well-being Promotes brain, eye, & nervous system health Supports healthy immune system function Enhances appearance of skin and hair Promotes optimal fat metabolism A number of dietary habits, such as the widespread use of vegetable cooking oils (omega-6), industrial milling, and the decreased consumption of fish (omega-3), have contributed to an omega-3 deficiency, or imbalance, in the diets of many North Americans. As compared to the ancestral diet of Neo-Paleolithic humans, omega-3 consumption has dropped 20 fold from a daily intake of 3.0 grams down to a meager 0.15 grams.
