There is a lot of confusion with everyday people about Omega-3’s and what forms we need, for what type of health benefits.

EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids that are abundant in fish, shellfish, and certain types of phytoplankton & marine micro-algae. The body needs EPA & DHA omega-3s to develop and function optimally in every stage of life.

The above, as well as changes in the fish supply chain, have resulted in the Western populations being chronically deficient in the has resulted in the key forms being EPA & DHA.

A ^study from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology found that 70% of the world’s population does not get the necessary amount of these essential fatty acids.

Over 93% of vegetarians & vegans are ‘more than 50% deficient’ in their Omega-3 EPA & DHA levels, based om data from over 13,000 blood testing on this group.

And then there is the incorrect assumption that if you eat enough Hemp, Chia or Flax seeds for your Omega-3’s that this will convert into enough of the much-needed EPA & DHA form

Mark Pages, Managing Director of Phytality Nutrition will be giving an education workshop on Omega-3’s, which covers the following:

Introduction to Omega-3’s

·        Understanding the different forms of Omega-3

·        The ability of short chain ALA Omega-3 to convert to the longer chain EPA & DHA forms

·        Foods and ingredients in our Western diet that block the conversion of Omega-3’s to a longer form.

What has changed in the wild fish & farmed fish industries

·        There is a shortage of wild caught fish, due to over-fished or our oceans

·        Over 65% of wild caught fish globally are used to feed farmed fish in aquaculture

·        The farmed fish equates for over 55% of all fish served as food and is growing rapidly

·        Aquaculture feeds are reducing in quality, as cheaper non marine ingredients are used as substitutes for
historically used fish meal & fish oil (from wild caught fish)

Why plant based sources of EPA & DHA Omega-3 are better for your health and the oceans
