Question 1

Why does every brand of vegan-omega-3 capsules contain Carrageenan? Can anyone recommend a product without it?

Accepted Answer

It is too bad that the manufacturer has not found an alternative to the use of carrageenan in their vegan capsules. While the FDA has approved the use of such undegraded carrageenan in foods, the jury is still out on what ill affects on the gastrointestinal tract it may have and whether in combination with stomach acid, it may become the carcinogenic degraded form. I prefer not to take that chance.  After all, I went to vegan forms of Omega 3 to avoid the potential toxins that accumulate in fish oil, so why just substitute one potential toxin for another?

Question 4

Does this supplement contain any epa at all? the label says 1000 mg, 400 of that being dha. what is in the other 600 mg of the oil?

Accepted Answer

Hello, 
Our Vegan Omega-3 DHA supplement does not contain epa, it contains potent DHA 400 mg to be exact. The 1000 mg is actually Algal Oil, (400mg DHA) this oil is derived directly from algae. This is the reason we have a higher potency of DHA is because of the increased amount of Algal Oil. The remainder of the oil would be made up of the various monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and saturated fats which occur naturally in algae. Hope this clarifies any concerns you may have had.
