Vegetarian EPA and DHA omega-3
life’s™OMEGA is our vegetarian source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)/docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) omega-3 derived from algae. It provides important heart health benefits throughout all stages of life, as well as supporting immune function, sports performance, sleep and positive mood. Our broad family of forms makes life’s™OMEGA ideal for fortifying your next food or beverage product.
This unique ingredient is the first and only commercially available plant-based omega-3, ideal as a vegetarian and vegan alternative, that delivers the benefits of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids in a single, quality source. And it’s derived from marine microalgae, which reduces pressure on global fish stocks, while preserving marine biodiversity.
The bottom line: most adults worldwide still don’t meet the recommended intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA per day and are nutritionally deficient in omega-3s. Food and beverages fortified with nutritional lipids like life’s™OMEGA therefore play an important role in helping you close these nutritional gaps for consumers.
