Omega-3s are essential polyunsaturated fatty acids. [2] The human body can not synthesize the Omega-3s from other substances, so you must get these important nutrients from the foods you eat and supplements you consume. [2] Omega-3s are essential for the healthy function of the body. [2]
Organic Flaxseed Oil
Certified Organic Vegan Omega-3
Plant Based Source Of Essential Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Flaxseed oil has one of the highest concentrations of plant-based essential fatty acid omega-3 alpha linolenic acid (ALA).
ALA can be converted to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in the body, which are essential for the healthy function of the body. [2]
Ideal vegan Omega-3 alternative to fish oil
For those who follow a plant-based diet, it's still important to get a healthy amount of omega-3 in your diet and consuming fish or fish based products for omega-3s doesn't fit that lifestyle. Flaxseed Oil is the perfect substitute.
