Each serving of Phyto Pro Liquid Omega Plus gives you 1,100mg of Omega 3s in a 2:1 ratio of DHA:EPA. For an added nutritional boost, we included Astaxanthin and Vitamin E, two of the most powerful antioxidants on the planet. They help to further protect your DNA and cells from free radical damage – the atomic-level cause of aging and most physical ailments.
Omega 3s are an essential nutrient for everyone – be they child or adult, plant-based or not:
- The human brain is made of nearly 60% fat and of this the majority are omega 3s. Low levels of omega 3s are associated with impaired brain performance, cognitive diseases, incl. ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolarism, schizophrenia, as well as neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. High levels of omega3s are associated with a more fluid brain, making it easier for the brain to adapt to new information, build and access memory and process thoughts quickly and efficiently.
- The wall of every cell, including neurons (i.e. brain cells), is made of two layers of fatty acids, most of which are omega 3s.
Nutritionally-complete plant-based omega 3:
- There are three main omega 3 fatty acids – ALA, EPA and DHA. The human body mainly uses EPA and DHA for calming inflammation, building new cells and healing damaged ones.
- All terrestrial plant sources of omega 3s, e.g. chia, flax and hemp seeds, only contain the ALA form of omega 3. The liver converts ALA to EPA and EPA to DHA through an 8-step process but this is not done very efficiently, especially if the liver is dealing with other challenges like detoxing from inflammation or exposure to everyday pollutants.
- Some omega 3 supplements include algae-based DHA but this does not convert to EPA. DHA is important for brain and eye health but EPA is the fatty acid associated with reducing inflammation, cellular healing and building new cells and tissues.
- LIQUID OMEGA PLUS is the only plant-based product to contain significant levels of all three fatty acids – ALA from hemp seeds and EPA and DHA from marine algae.
- This means you get all the benefits of a fish- or krill-based omega product but from a cleaner, plant-based source.
Low environmental footprint:
- Historically, we got omega 3s from consuming seafood and molluscs but in todays polluted planet, these sources of omega 3s have become compromised, with most testing positive for microplastics, heavy metals like mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and other environmental pollutants.
- Catching seafood and krill for omega 3 supplements has also devastated marine ecosystems globally. The Antarctic is particularly affected because this is where most fishing occurs, leading to threats to wildlife communities, from whales to penguins.
- Meat, poultry and eggs were also a source of omega 3s but this is entirely dependent on the diet and living conditions of the animals concerned. In today’s world where factory-farming is the norm, these foods no longer contain sufficient levels of healthy non-inflammatory fatty acids.
- Our omega 3 comes from sustainably farmed marine algae – the plants krill and other marine species consume to introduce omega 3s into the marine food chain. Our sources do not compromise these ecosystems and are wildlife-friendly.
Clean extraction:
- Most fish- and mollusc-based omega 3s are heat extracted to increase yields. Heating any fat is never a good idea as this changes and damages the fatty acid chains, reducing the health benefits and often even introducing new disease risks.
- The omega 3 oil used in LIQUID OMEGA PLUS is extracted in a low-heat, hexane-free process, ensuring a clean, fresh and nutritionally-stable ingredient.
