1. General Description

This product provides high-quality omega-3 fatty acids from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp., making it a purely plant-based alternative to fish oil. The capsules contain the long-chain fatty acids DHA and EPA, which can be nutritionally classified in certain, legally regulated areas.

DHA supports normal brain function and normal vision, while EPA and DHA together support normal heart function, each at specified daily intake levels. The amounts required for this are met by the recommended daily serving of this product.
