Pure & Essential Vegan Omega 3, Sustainable Algae Oil 1340mg, 2:1 DHA EPA 600mg, Plus Astaxanthin, 60 Softgels

Pure & Essential Vegan Omega-3 & Astaxanthin provides a balanced source of both DHA and EPA long-chain omega-3, ideal for vegans, and anyone seeking alternatives to fish-based sources of omega-3. This concentrated algae oil is cultivated in a closed environment in pure, filtered water, so it’s naturally free from ocean-borne contaminants like mercury and PCBs, and leaves no footprint on the ocean ecosystem. Providing a balanced 2:1 ratio of DHA and EPA, in small softgels for twice-daily dosing, this supplement enhances absorption and effectively raises cellular omega-3 levels. The addition of AstaPure astaxanthin offers antioxidant protection, not only to the delicate omega-3 fatty acids, but also to the body. Igennus nutritionists recommend that adults take 1 softgel twice daily. For intensive support, for example if you are vegan and have not supplemented DHA and EPA recently, the dose can be increased to 4 softgels daily to provide a ‘loading’ dose, after which a normal maintenance dose can be resumed. Children aged 12+ should take 1 softgel twice daily. Children aged 6-12 years can take 1 softgel daily. At 50% concentration, this algae oil is more concentrated than both standard fish oil and krill oil. The daily serving from 2 softgels provides 600mg DHA and EPA, twice the amount provided by large 1 gram fish oil capsules that are only 30% concentration. The natural triglyceride form is easily absorbed. Algae oil has been demonstrated to be as effective as fish oil at raising levels of omega-3 in our cells - the Omega-3 Index (an established marker of cardiovascular health and long term disease risk). Until recently, algae oil has been only a rich source of DHA, with many supplements offering little or no EPA. Pure & Essential Vegan Omega-3 & Astaxanthin has been expertly formulated by Igennus nutrition scientists to provide an effective dose of both DHA and EPA. Algae oil is naturally sustainable. Our algae oil is grown in pure, filtered water in controlled conditions, so it’s naturally free from ocean-borne contaminants such as heavy metals, PCBs and dioxins. Grown on land, it leaves no footprint on the ocean ecosystem. Even the by-products of algae oil production are used for nutritious animal feed. Derived from red microalage, astaxanthin is one of nature’s most potent antioxidants. With a high ORAC value (oxygen radical absorbance capacity), it offers effective protection against oxidative stress. We include 1mg to protect the delicate oils from against oxidation. Astaxanthin’s ability to quench free radicals is 6,000 times greater than vitamin C, 800 times that of coenzyme Q10 and 550 times greater than vitamin E. Pure & Essential Vegan Omega-3 increases EPA and DHA intake to support brain function and neurotransmitter production, important for mood. Providing a dose of 400mg DHA, daily supplementation with our concentrated algae oil also supports vision. Providing a daily dose of 600mg EPA & DHA per serving, this concentrated algae oil supports normal heart function, cholesterol levels, triglyceride management and normal blood pressure. Supporting EPA intake helps to re-balance the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, regulating inflammation. Added astaxanthin boosts antioxidant intake, to provide protection to cells from oxidative stress.
