One barrier is the lack of plant-based options in the market, with 62% of Omega-3 consumers reporting a preference for a plant-based source of Omega-3. Plant-based Omega-3 is also a more sustainable alternative to fish oil; helping to protect our oceans and planet by tackling significant challenges such as overfishing and climate change.
