Igennus heeft nu ook een vegetarisch omega-supplement op de markt gebracht. Het heet Echiomega. Let op: VegEpa is
niet vegetarisch!

Echiomega is a vegetarian formulation of omega fatty acids, which delivers superior health benefits over the commonly available vegetarian oil preparations. Containing the omega-3 fatty acid stearidonic acid (SDA) from the plant Echium plantagineum, it is naturally converted to the important long-chain omega-3 fatty acid EPA in the body, but up to five times more than other botanical omega-3 oils.
Echium oil also contains other beneficial fatty acids including the potent anti-inflammatory omega-6 gamma linolenic acid (GLA) as well as the omega-9 oleic acid, for which olive oil owes its health-supporting properties. Research suggests that SDA in combination with GLA raises blood cell EPA levels more effectively than EPA alone.
This unique combination of natural fatty acids provides cells with the nutrients required for efficient chemical signalling, integral to healthy brain function and the maintenance of overall well-being. Changes in diet and lifestyle have affected the body’s natural ability to produce long-chain fatty acids in sufficient quantities, so it is important to boost the intake of omega fatty acids as part of the daily diet.
Echium oil is the ideal nutritional supplement for those who are vegetarian, vegan or allergic to fish, to help boost the levels of the important omega fats in the diet.
Each Echiomega capsule contains:
Omega-3 fatty acids 213 mg
of which SDA (stearidonic acid) 63 mg
Omega-6 fatty acids 144 mg
of which GLA (gamma linolenic acid) 51 mg
Omega-9 fatty acids 86 mg
of which oleic acid 86 mg GMO-free
Dairy-free
Gluten-free
Yeast-free
Cholesterol-free

Vegetarian precursor to EPA
Echiomega contains no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives.
Ingredients
Echium oil; capsule shell (modified starch, glycerine, carrageenan, disodium phosphate, lecithin).
Blijft nog wel het probleem dat het om een precursor van EPA gaat en niet bij iedereen worden omega3-vz even goed omgezet in EPA.
