V-Pure

There are several key nutrients that are not plentiful in a vegetarian diet. New research indicates that vegetarians, and especially vegans, have an increased risk of heart disease because of a dietary tendency to inadequate intake of omega-3 and vitamin B12.⁶

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.

So what’s the solution?

Flax seed is a good vegetarian source of DHA, but it does not contain EPA. The balance between these two fatty acids is important.

Algae sources are the best balanced option for vegetarians and vegans. In fact, fish get their omega-3 levels because of the algae they consume. Algae are also a more sustainable source with lower levels of contaminants.

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. Vpure one of the most balanced and pure vegan sources of EPA/DHA available in the world.

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.
