Algae-derived, long-chain omega-3 in gelatin free cellulose capsules.
The Science
Omega-3 fats are essential nutrients, meaning that we have to get them from our diets. Plant-based foods contain the short chain omega-3 fat ALA which our body can convert to the long chain omega-3 that it needs, namely EPA and DHA. However, less than 5% of dietary ALA is converted to DHA, meaning that consuming even extremely high quantities of ALA-rich foods (flax seeds, etc.) may not get you to meet your recommended daily requirements of EPA and DHA.
EPA and DHA help regulate inflammation and must be consumed in proportion to omega-6 fats, which support inflammation. However, urban Indian diets contain 38 to 50 times as much omega-6, which can promote chronic inflammation.
DHA is additionally important because it is also an important structural part of our brain, eyes, nerves, and cells.
Nutrova Complete Omega 3 contains a vegan-sourced DHA, making it ideal for vegans, vegetarians who do not consume much dairy and individuals with fish allergies looking to increase their omega-3 intake.
Frequently asked questions
Can
anyone
consume
it?
Yes, women and men of all ages require the same nutrients for healthy hair. However, pregnant or lactating women, people with medical conditions or people on chronic medication should first consult their doctors.
How
many
capsules
should
I
consume?
It’s important to have at least 1 capsule daily, but we encourage you to have 2, given the minimal intake of this nutrient in a typical vegan or vegetarian diet.
Why
is
this
different
from
flaxseed
oil
supplements?
Flaxseed oil is an excellent source of short-chain omega-3 fats (ALA), but does not contain DHA, the omega-3 fat that forms a part of our brain, nerves, eyes and skin. Our body can convert ALA to DHA, but in a very low conversion rate (only 1 to 4% gets converted). Directly consuming DHA is important in order to derive its proven health benefits.

My doctor asked me to take omega-3 fats because he said it's essential for good health. But I'm allergic to fish and don't like flax seed oil so Nutrova's omega-3 was helpful!

Has kept me healthy :)
After trying many supplements that didn?t suit me, I finally found Nutrova Omega 3 - finally a non-fish source (I?m allergic to fish) with no strange smell or taste. It has helped me meet my omega 3 need and kept me healthy :)
Whileomega-3 fatty acidsare often talked about for their incredible health benefits, which largely stem from their anti-inflammatory properties, their benefits to skin health aren’t spoken about as much.
