Vivo Life O3 Lemon Flavour Plant Based Omega 3 Oil - 60ml

Ultra-pure plant based Omega 3, to support brain, heart & vision function.

Omega 3 fatty acids are types of polyunsaturated fats (double bonded), they are essential nutrients found in 3 forms: EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahaxaenoic acid) and ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). They are named "essential" as the body cannot create them itself, and therefore we must obtain omega 3s from our diet. EPA and DHA are usually found in fish, animal products, phytoplankton, and algae plant life. ALA is found in animal products and plant sources such as flax and hemp seeds.

The common source for omega 3 via supplements has been fish oil capsules, but more recent nutritional research has uncovered algae to be a comparable and reliable source for EPA and DHA omega3. The reason for this being that fish themselves do not synthesize omega 3, they in fact consume it by eating smaller fish, phytoplankton (who eat algae) and some fish also eat algae directly. With a plant-based diet lacking in sources of EPA and DHA, supplementation in the form of algae-based omegas is advisable.

Why do we need Omega 3?

Healthy fats are essential for optimal health. Omega 3 plays an important role in regulating various biological systems and processes such as the bodies inflammatory response, various metabolic pathways, cardiac health, brain function, hormone production, mineral absorption, and providing structural integrity for our cells. The different types of omega-3 have different roles in the body. For instance, ALA is involved in cardio vascular health and DHA is involved in brain health and cognitive performance.

Enter the hero: Vivo Life Algae Omega 3 Oil. It's way down the food chain, making it a brilliant and sustainable omega-3 source that doesn't bother a single fish. Plus, it's grown in pristine conditions, steering clear of the nasty heavy metals and pollutants often found in fish. And here's the kicker: with over 300mg of EPA and 600mg of DHA per serving, it's packing more omega-3 than your standard fish oil pill. All thanks to insights from The National Institutes of Health.

Can I add my Omega 3 to hot food and drink?

We advise against heating your Omega 3 as heat will cause the fatty acids to break down. This will significantly lower the efficacy of the supplement, and reduce your overall intake of Omega 3.

Is our Omega 3 suitable for children?

Our Omega 3 is designed with adults' nutritional needs in mind. We recommend speaking with a doctor or nutritionist about the product's suitability and dosages for your child's needs.

My Omega 3 has turned cloudy?

This is completely normal. The omega 3 can become cloudy when kept in the fridge (as it should be) and this can also vary from batch to batch. The omega 3 molecules can crystallise at temperatures of 4 degrees and below so just leave it out of the fridge for 10 minutes or so before consuming which should help.
