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 no less than 250mg DHA per softgel. Because algae oil is obtained directly from the source, namely microalgae, it is pure and free of heavy metals (such as mercury), dioxins and PCBs, such as those often found in fish. The algae oil is made from cultivated algae in a controlled environment. This minimizes the chance of disruption and/or damage to the ecosystem. This supplement is therefore good for you and the ocean! And an additional advantage, unlike many other omega 3 products, this product is free of burps 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 must therefore ingest these substances sufficiently through our diet every day. The recommended daily amount 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 the functioning of the retina and supports the condition of the eye*. The intake of DHA by the mother is good for the development of the brain of the foetus and of 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.
