Health benefits of omega 3 fatty acids have become known far and wide particularly for their role in supporting joint, cardiovascular and brain health. The best-known source of omega 3 is from fish and fish oil. However, this is not an option for vegans who follow a strict no animal product lifestyle. This leaves the only option being supplementation where the vitamins are extracted from algae rather than fish. This is because fish contains a large amount of omega 3 from the algae they consume.
