Omega & Fish Oils

Keep your heart and brain healthy with Omega 3!

Vital for our health, Omega-3 fatty acids play a huge role in keeping our heart, brain, joints and eyes healthy.

Known as essential fatty acids, getting your intake of Omega-3 is so important for your health. Unfortunately, our body can't make them itself, so it relies on external sources. 

The most prevalent source of naturally occurring Omega-3 is fish oil, but there are also some plant-based sources of Omega-3 available. Most of us don't consume enough Omega-3 through diet alone: Adult women need around 1.1g Omega-3 per day, whilst adult men need 1.6g. Getting this much from your diet is hard enough, but even harder if you don’t eat fish.

Omega-3 fatty acids are found in three different forms - DHA, EPA and ALA. ALA is mainly found in plant-based sources, but DHA and EPA are most difficult to get when following a vegan or vegetarian diet. 

ALA can be converted into DHA and EPA. To get ALA more efficiently, it is best to increase your intake of vegan Omega-3 by taking a supplement.

Best vegan sources of Omega-3

Aside from taking a vegan Omega-3 supplement, you can pack your diet with naturally Omega-3 rich foods to boost your intake.

The best vegan sources of Omega-3 include chia seeds, brussell sprouts, hemp seeds, walnuts, edamame beans and flaxseed. 

The Holland and Barrett Flaxseed Oil is an excellent way of increasing your Omega-3 intake. You can simply take a spoonful or replace your cooking oil and use it when making meals. 100% organic and high in ALA, flaxseed oil will also help maintain normal cholesterol levels.

Excellent for maintaining your vision, brain function and normal heart function, you can quickly boost your Omega-3 intake by adding these supplements to your daily vitamin routine.
