Vegan Omega-3
What's unique about Performance Lab's Omega-3 is that they derive it from a clean algae oil instead of the more common fish oil. This yields not only optimal levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) but also sidesteps the HUGE problem of oxidation.
Most omega-3 supplements are worse than useless by the time they reach you. So whether you're vegan, want to avoid common rancid junk fish oils, or are looking to enjoy the myriad benefits of micro-algae like spirulina & chlorella, this is a great product for you.
Plus, there's none of the usual fish oil-induced aftertaste or bad breath.
Nick's Take: If you want a vegan-friendly, sustainably sourced, well-absorbed, and rancid-oil-free omega-3 supplement, consider adding this to your supplement stack.
