RAWDAY 100% Raw Vegan Omega 3 DHA 500mg

There are several factors that play a role in digestion and absorption. Everybody is different and so is the ability to digest and absorb nutrients, including omega-3s. There are small differences in absorption rates among the various forms of omega-3s.

Yes, you can have your omega-3 or fatty acid levels tested to see if you may have lower than recommended levels of omega-3s. Your current blood levels will help your health care practitioner determine the best consumption amount for you.

There are three main omega-3s – EPA, DHA and ALA. ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) is a true “essential” omega-3 because our bodies can’t make it on its own. We need to get ALA from our diet by consuming ALA-rich foods like flax and chia seeds. ALA is a precursor to EPA and DHA, but the conversion rate in our bodies is extremely low – often less than 1 percent of ALA is converted to EPA and DHA. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are the primary omega-3s known for supporting heart, brain and eye health at all stages of life. In fact, our heart, brain and eyes contain the highest omega-3 content compared to other parts of the human body.

The DHA used in this product is derived from algae and manufactured under sanitary conditions. It is clean, safe and free of contaminants.
