Now we have omega 3 and vitamin B12 from Algae Vegan rules optimum health!

March 16, 2006

Fish oil is now obsolete as a food supplement. A swiss company has launched a omega 3 DHA EPA oil from algae.

There's no need to trash the planet for pure brain food.

Harley Street Nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston says "Although nutritionists struggle to agree on the optimum ratio of DHA: EPA most agree you shouldn't really have one without the other. Previously only algal DHA was available and even then difficult to get hold of. The fact nutritionists can now recommend a sustainable sourced, pure plant based product that contains both vegetarian EPA DHA is a huge leap forward for the health of everyone, and especially vegetarians, vegans, religious and ethical groups who avoid animal products for ethical and environmental reasons."

"In theory you should be able to convert omega 3 oils in flaxseed to DHA and EPA but even the Flaxseed Council of Canada concede that the reality in today's hectic world is that it's hard to find solid, consistent, corroborating evidence of this."

"Things such as stress, gender, genetics, diet, disease, toxins, balance of fats, caffeine, alcohol, smoking, sugar and freshness of the product all can hinder our ability to convert omega 3 alpha linolenic (LNA) acid to DHA and EPA."
