The world's first vegetarian OMEGA 3, EPA & DHA supplement

Supplement facts / Health benefits

Omega 3 essential fatty acids are the primary building blocks of the brain and eyes. They help with cardiovascular health, Infant grown and development; maintain healthy triglyceride levels and HDL (good) cholesterol levels. Studies have also shown that Omega 3s inhibit the spread of cancer cells, particularly in prostate and breast cancer and helps with depression.

Each recommended daily dose (three capsules) of V-Pure contains 270mg of DHA and 89mg of EPA.

Recommended doses Adequate intakes

The National Institutes of Health published a report in 1999 from a sponsored international workshop on the essentiality and recommended dietary intakes for n-3 and n-6 fatty acids. This working group proposed adequate intakes of 2-3 per cent of total calories for LA, 1 per cent of total calories for ALA, and 0.3 per cent of total calories for EPA and DHA. The group further recommended intakes of EPA and DHA of 650mg/day and a minimum of 300mg DHA/day during pregnancy and lactation.

Other countries such as Health Canada suggest a minimum of 3 per cent of energy from n-6 fatty acids and 0.5 per cent from n-3 fatty acids or 1 per cent for infants who do not receive a preformed source of EPA and DHA. The United Kingdom recommends intakes of 1 per cent of energy from ALA and 0.5 per cent from EPA and DHA combined.

The World Health Organization has also issued recommendations on the basis of the ratio of n-6 to n-3 fatty acids of 5:1-10:1. Sweden recommends a ratio of 5:1, Canada recommends 4:1-10:1, and more recently Japan recently changed its recommendation from 4:1 to 2:1.

Based on the above. V-Pure fits in with the balance of 4:1, DHA & EPA. V-Pure is as nature intended and its composition has not been manipulated or altered in anyway.
