According to the makers of Ovega-3, salmon and other fatty cold water fish don’t produce their own omega-3 fatty acids — DHA and EPA — it is actually the microalgae the fish eat. Ovega-3 is a fish-free omega-3 supplement that delivers 500 milligrams of DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids, to support heart health. From a sustainable source of algae grown outside of the ocean in an FDA-inspected facility. The life’sDHA, the brand of DHA in Ovega-3, are from a strain of algae that naturally produces high amounts of DHA, and the company’s scientists have identified another algae strain that produces high amounts of both DHA and EPA omega-3s. We grow our own.
