A registered nutritionist has warned that a lack of Omega 3 can lead to a range of health issues including fatigue, joint aches, insomnia, difficulty concentrating, acne, and weak hair and nails. The body cannot produce Omega 3 fats, so they must be obtained through diet or supplements.
Ariella Kaur Maan, a registered nutritionist and nutritional therapy practitioner at Dr Vegan, explained that there are three types of Omega 3 fats: DHA, EPA, and ALA. She noted that it is very hard to get enough EPA and DHA daily without eating fish or maintaining a consistent, healthy balanced diet.
Dr Vegan offers Vegan Omega 3 (1,000mg) softgels, currently priced at £21.99 for a one-time purchase of one pouch, or £53.09 for three pouches every 90 days on subscription.
