EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) & DHA (docosahexaenoic acid)
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are both polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, specific types of algae and certain plants. The human body needs EPA and DHA for proper development and function.
More than 40,000 studies have been published on EPA and DHA, including many clinical studies. The majority of these studies support the consumption of Omega-3 for general well-being. It is good for cardiovascular function, brain function, vision, and vision and brain development in infants.
The recommended intake, supported by governments and scientific bodies around the world, is to consume a minimum of 250mg of EPA and DHA per day for overall health. For specific life stages or conditions, these amounts may be higher. In 2016, a study was done on the Omega-3 Index. This is the combined percentage of Omega-3 EPA and DHA in the membranes of red blood cells. This study found that about 80% of adults around the world consume significantly less EPA and DHA than recommended.
Which Omega 3 should I take, DHA or the new EPA+DHA?
It depends entirely on what your goal is with taking Omega 3. For example, the Omega 3 DHA good for brain and eye maintenance in adults and for brain and eye development in unborn and newborn babies.
Omega 3 EPA is additionally good for the functioning of the cardiovascular system.If you want to reap all the benefits of Omega 3 then we recommend Omega 3 DHA+EPA to use.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, the best solution is to take both the Omega 3 DHA and the Omega 3 DHA+EPA supplement. This also applies to people who do not get enough Omega 3 through the normal diet such as vegans.
Algae oil vs. fish oil
Those who cannot or will not eat fish avoid a deficiency of Omega 3 with Ekopura Vegan Omega 3 Algae Oil. Algae oil has the same power as fish oil because algae is the natural source of Omega 3 from which fish also get it. By using Omega 3 from algae, you prevent overfishing and therefore destruction of the oceans.
Ekopura algae oil is made from farmed algae. Therefore, we can guarantee that the oil is 100% pure and free of pollution and contaminants. Our capsules are made from seaweed, not gelatin.
Stop Overfishing
About 25% of the world's fish catch goes into the production of Omega 3 fish oil. Many fish and other species are threatened with extinction and end up in fishing nets. As a result, the earth's ecosystem is under enormous pressure with disastrous consequences.
With Ekopura Vegan Omega 3 you save the lives of 30 fish per package. In fact, it takes about 30 fish to manufacture the same amount of omega 3 fish oil. Stop overfishing and get your Omega 3 from algae.
