O-Mega-Zen3® is the original all vegetarian/vegan omega-3 DHA supplement developed in 2001. Omega-3s are largely absent in the modern diet, and especially amongst vegans. Now you can ensure you are getting yours with this completely vegetarian/vegan all natural once-a-day formulation.

DHA (Decosahexaenoic Acid) is the major long-chain omega-3 fatty acid found in the brain. Concentrated in regions that require a high degree of electrical activity, DHA is important for signal transmission in the brain, eye and nervous systems. It is highly recommended for pregnant mothers and young children, as DHA is a critical building block of young brain cells. DHA is the most abundant omega-3 long chain fatty acid in breast milk and studies show that breast-fed babies have IQ advantages over babies fed formula without DHA. DHA is essencial for pregnant women and also lactating mothers. European pre-term infant formulas now contain DHA, while U.S. formulas do not. Low levels of DHA have been linked with insufficient brain and vision development in infants, hyperactivity, attention deficit disorders (ADD), depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders and the worsening of schizophrenia.

Normally DHA is found only in fish and fish oils, along with some eggs and other animal products, and we have been searching for a reliable vegan alternative. Typically, the most common vegetarian source of omega-3 fatty acids is flax seed oil or hempseed oil. These short-chain, seed-based, omega-3 fatty acids are the precursor to the long-chain omega-3 DHA. However, flax seed oil is an imperfect solution because it is converted into DHA at varying rates in different people. Therefore, some vegetarians, vegans, and/or raw-foodists do not produce enough long-chain omega-3 DHA to meet brain requirements.

O-Mega-Zen3 DHA is derived from natural marine sources (marine microalgae) and is combined with vitamin E for stability. It is encapsulated in vegicaps and is a completely vegan product. DHA is endorsed by Dr. Gabriel Cousens, who has written about DHA in the new edition of his book Conscious Eating. The properties of DHA are also discussed in Udo Erasmus' book Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill.

NuTru's O-Mega-Zen3® product has been evaluated by the Environmental Defense Organization Oceans Program as a Best Choice product based on testing carried out to certify that the product does not contain mercury, PCBs, dioxins, or other similar environmental contaminants.
