{"product_id":"plantforce-vegan-omega-3-120softgels","title":"Plantforce Vegan Omega 3 120 softgels","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlantforce Vegan Omega-3 Algae Oil is an excellent source of the vital long-chain fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) \u0026amp; docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur 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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat are Omega-3 fatty acids?\u003cbr\u003eWhat is EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid)\u003cbr\u003eEPA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid)\u003cbr\u003eDHA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy Choose Plantforce Vegan Omega-3 Algae Oil?\u003cbr\u003eSustainable Production\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree from contaminants \u0026amp; antibiotics\u003cbr\u003eSome 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlgal oils are deemed safe in industry, have the same bioavailability as Omega-3 fish oils, and are even used as a source of DHA \u0026amp; EPA in infant formula. (Source:ScienceDirect)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRich in bioactive compounds\u003cbr\u003eBioactive 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)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeutral Taste \u0026amp; Odor\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAffordable and high dose of EPA and DHA\u003cbr\u003eOur Plantforce Vegan Omega-3 is a higher dosage and a more reasonable offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlgae oil and, more specifically, omega-3 fatty acids play various roles in the body and have many healthful properties, including the following.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnti-inflammatory properties\u003cbr\u003eExtremely 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrain function \u0026amp; development\u003cbr\u003eOmega 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHealthy brain development in children: Intervention studies have shown improved maternal DHA nutrition decreases the risk of poor visual development (Source: Pubmed.gov).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuscle maintenance \u0026amp; repair\u003cbr\u003eOmega-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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEPA \u0026amp; DHA are also believed to reduce delayed onset of muscle soreness, which improves the ability to increase training frequency in men (Source: Pubmed.gov).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMood \u0026amp; mental state\u003cbr\u003eStudies have observed improved mood scores after supplementing Omega-3 fatty acids (Source: Pubmed.gov). In addition, lower anxiety (Source: Pubmed.gov) \u0026amp; inflammatory markers (Source: Pubmed.gov) have also been reported from supplementation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEU-Approved health claims\u003cbr\u003eA combined intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA per day contributes to the heart's normal function.\u003cbr\u003eDHAcontributes to the maintenance of normal vision at 250 mg per day.\u003cbr\u003eDHAcontributes to the maintenance of normal brain function at 250 mg per day.\u003cbr\u003eDHAcontributes to the normal visual development of infants up to 12 months of age at 100 mg per day.\u003cbr\u003eDHAcontributes to the normal development of the brain and eye of the fetus and breastfed infants at 200 mg a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuggested use\u003cbr\u003eIndividual intake will vary, however, we recommend you consume the standard serving size of 2 capsules per day with or without a meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA food supplement should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage\u003cbr\u003eStore in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight.
