March 15, 2006 - A unique Omega 3 vegetarian DHA / EPA algae product could save the World.
One thing most optimum nutritionists agree on is that we need more omega 3 essential fatty acids in our diet. Our bodies can’t make it, that’s why it’s essential. Meanwhile safety issues have been raised repeatedly about contamination of toxins in fish oil that question it’s clean and safe source of the key fatty acids. There has been a frantic race to be the first company to bring to market a product that has both plant based docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).
A Swiss based company has won the race by going to the bottom of the food chain and will be shortly launching a product called Algae Pure extracted from a secret strain of Algae .
Tom Brudenell-Bruce the entrepreneur behind this amazing new discovery says “I feel privileged that whilst working on a range of seaweed and algal products we discovered a secret, state of the art technology that provides a credible, organic and environmentally sustainable alternative to endangered fish stocks”
Harley Street Nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston says “Although nutritionists struggle to agree on the optimum ratio of DHA: EPA most agree you shouldn’t really have one without the other. Previously only algal DHA was available and even then difficult to get hold of. The fact nutritionists can now recommend a sustainable sourced, pure plant based product that contains both EPA and DHA is a huge leap forward for the health of everyone, and especially vegetarians, vegans, religious and ethical groups who avoid animal products for ethical and environmental reasons.”
“In theory you should be able to convert omega 3 oils in flaxseed to DHA and EPA but even the Flaxseed Council of Canada concede that the reality in today’s hectic world is that it’s hard to find solid, consistent, corroborating evidence of this.”
“Things such as stress, gender, genetics, diet, disease, toxins, balance of fats, caffeine, alcohol, smoking, sugar and freshness of the product all can hinder our ability to convert omega 3 alpha linolenic (LNA) acid to DHA and EPA.” adds Yvonne.
