NutraSea DHA and NutraVege review

I had the chance to review a bottle of Ascenta NutraVege and a bottle of Ascenta NutraSea DHA. 


Both bottles are a very plesant tasting citrus flavor.  For both bottles you take 1 teaspoon daily for adults and 1/2 teaspoon for ages 2-13 years old..  (I tried the bottles at different times-you are only to have one dose per day.

The Ascenta NutraSea DHA is a high DHA omega 3 supplement, it is very pure and is "beneficial for cardiovascular health and brain function.  It helps in the "development of the brain eyes and nerves...".

The Ascenta NutraVege is a high potency DHA, GLA and SDA vegetarian supplement (with omega 3).  This is a "vegetarioan source of omega 3 fatty acids benefcial for the maintenence of good health".

Bottles need refrigeration after opening.

I honestly was worried that both items would be difficult to swallow-but they weren't!  They were very smooth and easy going down and the citrus flavor was very pleasent.

Did you know that omega 3 fatty acids are an important part of our lives?  We are not able to produce them

in our bodies so we need to get them from other sources.

 

"Ascenta, maker of high quality omega 3 supplements, offers more sustainable options from diversified resources:

·         NutraSea DHA, which was just launched, comes from the most eco-friendly and sustainable marine source: wild squid, which is caught for calamari.  Much of the squid is not used for this, and has been regarded as waste, but actually contains 35% more omega-3 than wild salmon and 100% more than krill.  Unlike most fish species, Pacific Squid has dramatically increased in numbers over the last 30 years, and is naturally resistant to overfishing due to an early reproductive age and a very short lifespan.  NutraSea DHA is an ideal choice for pregnant and lactating mothers as well as seniors and individuals with cardiovascular and eye conditions.

·         NutraVege utilizes plant sources to further diversify.   Echium and algal oil  - used as sources for EPA and DHA, respectively - fill a void in the market of vegetarian omega 3 supplements, as echium, a common plant found in many parts of the world, contains the omega-3 SDA (stearidonic acid), which readily and efficiently converts to EPA in our bodies.  Studies have demonstrated that SDA from echium coverts to EPA at a rate of approximately 20 percent, compared with just 3.28 percent for flax.

Ascenta provides unique transparency and superior quality.  Each lot of product is third-party tested for quality, purity and label claims and the test results are posted online with their Pure Check program, something that no other omega-3 supplement manufacturer offers."  

If you re looking to implement daily omega 3 into your daily diet I suggest trying the NutraSea DHA or the NutraVege.
