Nordic Naturals Algae Omega (120 softgels)
Algae Omega gives vegetarians and vegans a great way to meet their daily recommended serving of omega-3 EPA+DHA. It can be difficult for vegans and vegetarians, especially, to get enough essential omega-3 fats from food alone. That's because vegetarian sources of omega-3 provide only ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), a precursor to omega-3s EPA and DHA, which our bodies can't efficiently convert to the EPA and DHA they need. To get just 500 mg omega-3 EPA+DHA, you'd have to eat a 5-ounce bag of flax or chia seeds. That's a lot of seeds to crunch! Nordic Naturals Algae Omega gives you that same beneficial amount in two, certified-vegetarian soft gels. Made from sustainably-sourced microalgae, the Algae Omega formula is non-GMO and hexane-free. And because it contains no fish or animal products, it's also suitable for vegans.
