This fully plant-based omega 3 supplement contains an impressive 250mg DHA per softgel. It has been specially developed for mothers and mothers-to-be, and for use while breastfeeding.
Vega Mama Omega 3 from Laveen is a plant-based omega 3 supplement. It has been specially developed for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The product contains an impressive 250mg DHA per softgel. As the algal oil is obtained directly from the source, microalgae, it is pure and free from heavy metals (such as mercury), dioxins and PCBs, which are often found in fish. The algal oil is made from algae grown in a controlled environment. This minimises the risk of disrupting and/or damaging the ecosystem. This supplement is therefore good for you and the ocean! Another benefit is that, unlike many other omega 3 products, it does not cause burping or a fishy aftertaste.
Health benefits of Omega 3
Omega 3 is a group of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are also essential fatty acids. Essential means that the body cannot produce them itself. We therefore need to get enough of these nutrients through our diet every day. The recommended daily intake of DHA is 200mg per day. This product is made with omega-3 fatty acids in the form of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Each softgel contains 250mg DHA. DHA is an important building block for the brain and is therefore good for brain function*. DHA also plays a role in retinal function and supports eye health*. Maternal DHA intake is good for brain development in the foetus and in breastfed infants**.
*These beneficial effects are obtained with a daily intake of 250mg DHA (=1 softgel).
**The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 200 mg DHA in addition to the recommended daily intake of omega-3 fatty acids for adults.
