Many omega products contain a single omega ingredient, usually omega-3 and usually from fish oil. Oily fish are often considered the best source of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. These fish provide so much omega-3 because they mainly feed on algae. This is why we “skipped the middle fish” and went straight to algae, the true source of omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, for our capsules.
Juice Plus+ Omega Blend is a blend of 5 omega fatty acids (including the 2 essential fatty acids, Omegas 3 and 6), all from plants. We’ve rounded out our blend with omega fatty acids from sources such as pomegranate seeds, sea buckthorn berries, raspberry seeds, tomato seeds and safflower seeds which provided fatty acids such as omegas 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9.
Our vegan capsule shell is sealed without heat, protecting the oils inside. And that bubble you see in each Omega Blend capsule? That's nitrogen, which protects the oils from degradation again. The Capsule coating is made from pullulan – naturally fermented from tapioca. Read more about Juice Plus+ Plant caps.

So, by harvesting omegas from the original algae source, cold-pressing oils from berries and seeds to maintain purity, and placing them inside a capsule made from plants, eliminating heat and oxygen along the way, we are able to bring you a symphony of omega fatty acids in a clean, vegan, eco-friendly way.
