Powerful Plant-based Omega-3

Head & Heart uses omega-3 DHA sourced from algae that is 5 times more bioavailable than fish oil.

Why only DHA and not EPA?

Our product does contain naturally-occurring EPA, however, we have prioritized a potent dosage of DHA. Most people receive a healthy amount of the omega-3 fatty acid ALA (α-linolenic acid) through their diet, and while ALA can convert to both EPA and DHA in the body, the conversion rate is much higher for EPA than DHA – making DHA much more difficult to get through your diet if you don’t eat fish.

Head & Heart contains 500mg of DHA. This is a high dosage in comparison to other vegan omega-3 supplements.

What makes DHA so great for your head and your heart?

DHA is an essential fatty acid that makes up ~27% of the adult cerebral cortex of the brain!

• Studies suggest that DHA has an important role in optimal fetal neurodevelopment, as well as in the healthy transmission of neurotransmitters like serotonin.
• DHA is also the most abundant omega 3 in the visual system, and healthy levels of DHA are associated with fewer symptoms of dry eyes as well as reduced risk of macular degeneration.
• Studies suggest that omega-3 supplementation is associated with healthy heart function), and that DHA in particular may be associated with a lower risk of metabolic syndrome and reduced activation of Nf-KB, a molecule that activates genes linked to inflammation and is associated with many major diseases.

Many vegan omega-3 supplements contain filler ingredients, preservatives, or thickeners like carrageenan, which some scientists suspect may contribute to inflammation and bloating. Some brands will even label carrageenan as ‘seaweed extract’ to avoid backlash from label-conscious customers.

We spent years in R&D to develop a vegan omega-3 that doesn’t use carrageenan – instead Head & Heart comes in a plant-based capsule form that’s easy to swallow and filler-free.
