Pharma Nord Omega 3 Green is a vegan Omega-3 supplement that offers an alternative to fish oil. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for the heart, brain, joints, and vision health.
Like vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids are necessary for overall health but cannot be produced by individuals. Although it's frequently recommended that we consume oily fish at least twice a week, if you don't eat fish, you must get these fatty acids from other sources, including algae or seed oils.
Omega 3 Green vegan omega-3 algae supplement is made up of Pharma Nord's own vegetable phytocaps, each of which provides 281mg of vegetable-derived, necessary omega-3 fatty acids. The fatty acids originate from microalgae, which contribute docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), as well as Chia oil, which contributes alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
Algae oil provides the same health benefits as fish oil. The EPA and DHA found in fish are accumulated from the algae that the fish have eaten. The algae oil is produced in the EU, and it is non-GMO, gluten-free, and non-allergenic.
It is extracted through fermentation, followed by extraction without the use of solvents, and then purified. This procedure is safe for the environment. To reduce the risk of oxidation, the oil undergoes a unique procedure that protects the nutritional characteristics, taste, smell, colour, and appearance of the oil. The patented technology includes an exclusive mixture of antioxidants that work synergistically. This technology guarantees an ultra-stable oil that preserves the nutritional value of the oil without the taste of fish or fish burps.
