| This product has been reformulated to provide more omega-3 and more DHA in fewer capsules. The new recommended dosage is two capsules per day. Maintaining a vegetarian lifestyle is not an easy task when it comes to health supplements. Some products are available in vegetarian capsules, which typically use vegetable cellulose, but oil-filled products are very difficult to produce in vegetarian form. Enter V Pure… The balance between unsaturated omega-6 fats and unsaturated omega-3 fats has been thrown off in the modern diet and this imbalance is unhealthy. Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.1,2,3 Omega 3 essential fatty acids are also the primary building blocks of the brain and eyes and are essential to other body systems.4,5 Omega-3 fatty acids are found in phytoplankton, a marine plant, which is eaten by fatty fish such as salmon, albacore tuna and sardines. Therefore, the oil derived from these cold water fish has a high concentration of the omega-3 long chain fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Omega-3s are essential for everyone, but fish oil just doesn't fit everyone's lifestyle and flax seed and other vegetarian options typically provide only DHA. Nutritionists suggest that we need a balance of both EPA and DHA. V Pure is the world's first vegetarian source of both EPA and DHA in capsule form. It is certified by the Vegan society and approved by the vegetarian society, certified organic, and has not been manipulated or altered in any way. - Guaranteed no toxins or contaminates

V-pure algae is organically grown in controlled conditions away from the sea, so it doesn't interfere with the marine ecosystem and doesn't impact on either fish stocks or their natural food source. In addition to the numerous health benefits of V-Pure, for every ton of algae grown to produce the product, the algae remove 2.2 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Each recommended daily dose (two capsules) of V-Pure contains 400 mg of omega-3s, which yield 350mg of DHA and 50mg of EPA. Each container of V Pure contains 60 vegetarian capsules.
