Viridian Vegan EPA and DHA

Great for baby, great for me

Catalina, our Edgware Store Manager loves Viridian Vegan EPA and DHA. She says “It provides Omega 3 fatty acids from sustainably-grown marine algae, European grown Chia seed oil to supply the full spectrum of omega 3, 6 and 9, and also has natural orange oil for flavour. Because I still am breastfeeding, my baby needs high DHA for brain development and this is a very good alternative to Fish oil. The Viridian EPA and DHA is easy to use as it is in liquid form.”

Higher intakes of Omega 3 oils are known to reduce inflammation and help with brain function. I am also working and studying and I have seen improvements in memory and concentration since taking this supplement. I also know that a higher DHA intake in a baby’s diet helps with better brain development and function, as well as special cognitive and visual function. With this supplement we all benefit.

Each 1ml serving typically provides:
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) 75mg
DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) 150mg
ALA (Alpha linolenic acid) 222mg
Omega 6 (Linoleic acid) 89mg
Omega 9 (Oleic Acid) 29mg
