O-Mega-Zen3 DHA Supplement by Nutru
Product Description
| Vegan DHA by Nutru- O-Mega-Zen3 One-A-Day formula, 40 count bottle. O-Mega-Zen3 ™ is derived from natural marine sources. Highly concentrated, extra strength Omega-3 DHA with special nutraceutical composition having twice the active ingredient of Omega-3 DHA. Now under evaluation as a leading nutraceutical for enhanced cognitive and cardiovascular function. * Supplies Omega-3s largely absent in the modern diet. 300mg of DHA per capsule ABOUT DHA Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA), a long chain omega-3 fatty acid, is a critical nutrient. DHA is one of the main components of brain tissue. It is required for the proper functioning of all neural systems, including vision. Recent research has shown that other omega-3 fatty acids, such as LNA (or ALA) (alpha linolenic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), do not have the same health effects of DHA. In addition, the human body can only convert a small percentage of LNA or EPA to DHA. Therefore, DHA is the essential omega-3 fatty acid in the modern Western diet for which supplementation is indicated. Information to tell the non-vegans taking fish oil for DHA: Many people have started taking fish oil to get DHA, but "fish contain saturated fat and cholesterol, so fish and fish oils tend to cause LDL ["bad" cholesterol] levels to increase." Therefore, by taking one or two capsules of O-Mega-Zen3 you can get the DHA, without the risk of increasing your cholesterol. The Need for DHA Supplementation: Low levels of DHA have been found in persons with: Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure, Cancer, Alzheimer's Disease, Attention Deficit Disorder Depression, Insomnia, Stress, Hyperactivity, Dyslexia On the other hand, DHA supplementation has been shown to improve all of the conditions listed above, and more. 100% vegan PLEASE NOTE: An bad odor is common with this product becase of what it is made from. I cannot offer refunds or replacements for this product if you notice a bad odor when opening the bottle. It is harmless and to be expected. |

best
Posted by Brian on 4th Jan 2010
I've tried a few different vegan Omega-3 supplements and this one has virtually no fishy taste or the "fish-burp" effect of even some other vegan O3 supplements. I think this is far and away the best DHA supplement you can get because each vegicap also has 300mg of DHA, and many others have far less per capsule.

Really makes a difference
Posted by Shannon of Las Vegas, Nevada on 12/11/2003 on 4th Jan 2010
I started taking this supplement as a way to ensure I received enough healthful Omega-3s in my diet, but noticed a marked and unexpected improvement in my mental outlook as well which, after some research, I believe to be due to increased levels of DHA in this product. Now I take it daily and though I wasn't expecting it as I was taking this supplement for long term health benefits rather than short term immediately noticable improvement, I feel physically and mentally better. Before becoming vegan I took fish oil for the same reason, and although this product does have a momentarily unpleasant taste when swallowed, it quickly goes away and there is none of the yucky "fish-burp" effect often experienced with fish oil, a good reason to recommend it to even non-vegans.
