Omega-3 fatty acids are essential\u00a0fats that most people do not consume enough of. Omega-3s are needed during brain and eye development. After development they are needed to support brain, eye, and cardiovascular health. Omega-3s help to protect the body from oxidative stress, which in turn may help to reduce chances of cardiovascular disease and cancer.<\/p>\n
There are three main types of omega-3: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA),\u00a0docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and\u00a0eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). ALA is the most common, found in nuts, seeds, and nut\/seed oil.<\/p>\n
Because ALA is common in nuts and seeds, it is the easiest omega-3 for vegans\/vegetarians to get in their diet. Some ALA can be converted to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by the body; however, the human body is very inefficient, and we only convert around 0.5 percent into DHA. The only vegan\/vegetarian dietary source for DHA is algae.<\/p>\n
Fish are high in EPA and DHA because they eat algae or smaller fish that eat algae. Vegan DHA sourced from algae is grown in a controlled environment to ensure it is free of contaminants and toxins that can be present in the wild.<\/p>\n

Without some form of supplementation, it is impossible for vegetarians and vegans to ensure they are getting enough DHA. We wanted to provide a source of DHA for children who may be picky eaters or on a vegetarian or vegan diet since it is essential for optimal health and so important for brain and eye development.<\/p>\n
