VEGAN OMEGA-3 ALGAE OIL 1000mg

Vegan Omega-3. The highest DHA content

Vegan Omega-3 Algae Oil 1000mg from EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement in vegetable softgels made from pure natural algae oil of the genus Schizochytrium, species certified for naturally having the highest possible DHA content.

Omega-3 fatty acids are nutrients that need to be consumed through diet, since although the body can synthesize EPA and DHA from ALA intake, this conversion is estimated to be insufficient, so dietary supplementation with these fatty acids is considered appropriate in practically all Western diet contexts.

Also, this product is encapsulated in vegetable softgels to provide a 100% vegan omega-3, both in its source oil and presentation format.

How can vegan omega-3 exist? We’ll tell you

Originating from algae. Schizochytrium species

The omega-3 we consume in our diet worldwide, except for Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA), is of animal origin, and is mainly concentrated in oily fish, which must be cooked properly (steamed, for example) to avoid oxidation and spoilage of their omega-3s.

The belief that vegan DHA doesn’t exist is widespread, and many people starting vegan diets suffer from nutritional deficiency of this essential fatty acid after a few months of restricting animal-based foods.

This doesn’t have to be the case, since there is a genus of algae called Schizochytrium that are naturally rich in Docosahexaenoic Acid.

These microalgae are grown under controlled conditions of time, temperature, pH, and air exposure, in a liquid culture medium containing the nutrients needed for their growth. The water used for cultivation is food-grade and verified free of marine biotoxins and contaminants.

Guaranteed DHA content. The most exclusive final omega-3

Oils, both animal and plant-based, have variable amounts of their fatty acids depending on many factors, such as cultivation conditions of each microalgae batch.

Given the extremely controlled cultivation conditions under which the microalgae used for our vegan omega-3 grow, DHA content is guaranteed at 40% in all production batches of this dietary supplement.

At HSN we guarantee with full confidence that the indicated content is exactly what you get.

We’re completely transparent in our procedures and information provided.

With plant-based coating agent. No gelatins

Softgels are usually made with coating agents derived from gelatins because they’re cheap and effective, but gelatins have a problem: they’re animal-derived.

How are we going to make vegan omega-3 oil softgels with gelatin softgels?

There are little-known coating agents derived from starch, like the one we use in our product.

These softgels aren’t widely used in the industry because besides being more expensive to produce, handling procedures require delicate treatment to keep them in good condition until the end of manufacturing, and unfortunately many labs don’t know how to do this.

Provides a high concentration, perfect for vegan diets without animal consumption

The 400mg DHA per softgel is significant. It provides a high daily dose of omega-3, which is especially great for vegan diets, since omega-3 intake is extremely low, and DHA intake is basically nonexistent.

Not only that, people who consume oily fish only occasionally, due to personal taste or allergies, can greatly benefit from supplementing their diet with this product, as it’s plant-based and provides what they don’t get from their usual diet.

No colorants or opacifiers. Transparent softgels just like us!

Many manufacturers add large amounts of additives to their products, which we think is unnecessary, because... why?

We don’t need to hide anything, our algae oil is ultra-pure, clean, and contaminant-free, transparent-yellowish with an oily appearance, just as it should be.

Easy to take, soft coating easy to swallow, and high concentration

Softgels can sometimes be hard to swallow, but not here.

Although they’re not small, you only need to take one softgel a day, so it’s easy.

Plus, thanks to the soft exterior of the softgel, it’s easy to swallow, no hassle, just a little water to take it down, and you’ve got a solid DHA boost in your daily diet. 

Guaranteed content of maximum purity, verified integrity, and free of contaminants

HSN’s algae oil omega-3 fatty acids are presented as natural triglycerides, which absorb much better than ethyl esters, and are... natural, chemically unaltered, so they’re better.

Omega-3s are essential nutrients

Among the omega-3s we can consume daily, we find ALA, EPA, and DHA.

In that order, Alpha-Linolenic Acid converts into EPA, Eicosapentaenoic Acid, and this in turn converts into DHA, Docosahexaenoic Acid, the final product of the conversion considered the 'most important Omega-3'.

•  Docosahexaenoic acid contributes to maintaining normal brain function.¹
•  Docosahexaenoic acid contributes to maintaining normal vision.¹

Ideal for pregnant women. Find out why

Omega-3s are excellent nutrients for pregnant women, since DHA is a fatty acid that when consumed in amounts of at least 250mg daily by pregnant or breastfeeding women, contributes to the normal development of the eyes of the fetus and breastfed infant.

Often, fish and derivatives are not allowed foods during pregnancy, making intake of this fatty acid complicated.

Enjoy a high intake that covers daily DHA needs, with HSN’s vegan omega-3 supplement, no fish or shellfish, just algae from controlled cultivation completely safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Other suitable use profiles. Who is it recommended for?

Not only pregnant women can use this supplement. It’s ideal for:

•  People seeking the positive effects of DHA on vision and brain. Therefore, it’s widely used by students and office workers.
•  Vegans whose omega-3 fatty acid intake typical of these diets is insufficient.
•  People following diets with sub-optimal omega-3 fatty acid intake due to low oily fish consumption.

Anyone transitioning to strict vegetarianism should include a plant-based omega-3 supplement in their daily diet.

What can it be combined with?

Vegan Omega-3 can be combined with all kinds of dietary supplements, no known restrictions with any other product.

Other recommendations include:

•  For athletes using omega-3 after training, Evorecovery is an excellent formula to improve recovery.
•  For people who don’t control their diet and don’t know their possible deficiencies: Evovits Plus+.
•  For people seeking omega-3’s positive effects on vision: natural Lutein + Zeaxanthin.
•  For students using DHA for its brain effects: Evobrain.
