Derived from the plant marine algae 'Schizochytrium sp microalgae' this is the first supplement to offer good sources of DHA and EPA for vegetarians and vegans. Algal Omega-3 oil has been commercially available for a while but it did not contain meaningful amounts of EPA. The microalgae in this supplement is grown in a controlled environment, eliminating the risk of oceanic contamination. Omega 3 (EPA and DHA) contributes to: - The maintenance of normal brain function - The maintenance of normal vision - The maintenance of normal cardiac function - The maintenance of normal blood pressure - The maintenance of normal (fasting) blood concentrations of triglycerides
