Plant-based DHA your body actually recognizes. Proven by science.
What's new is why that matters more than ever for families seeking optimal brain, heart, and eye health—from growing children to thriving adults.
The Plant Omega-3 Puzzle Most People Don't Know About
You already know that omega-3s are essential. But here's what changes everything: when you consume ALA from flaxseed or chia seeds, your body must convert it to the active forms—DHA and EPA—that your brain, heart, eyes, and skin actually need.
The problem? That conversion rate is shockingly low. Studies consistently show that conversion of ALA to EPA ranges from only 5-8%, and conversion to DHA is even more restricted at less than 0.5-4% in most adults. Some studies have found conversion to DHA to be nearly 0% in men, while women of reproductive age convert slightly better at around 9% due to estrogen's influence on conversion enzymes. This means even high-quality flaxseed or chia supplements may leave you falling dramatically short of the omega-3s your body truly needs.
O3Omega® Smoothies Changes the Equation
Our Schizochytrium algal oil DHA is already in the form your body recognizes and uses immediately—no conversion required. It's the same bioidentical DHA found in wild fish, but purer, more sustainable, and free from ocean contaminants.
Research confirms that algal DHA is as bioavailable—or even more bioavailable—than fish oil. Multiple clinical trials have demonstrated that algal oil supplements produce equivalent increases in plasma and red blood cell DHA levels compared to fish oil. In fact, one randomized study found that participants consuming algal oil achieved significantly higher DHA levels than those taking fish oil when adjusted for body weight.
By delivering pre-formed DHA enhanced with MCT oil from coconuts in our innovative liposomal almond butter sachets, O3Omega Smoothies allows your body to absorb and utilise omega-3s efficiently and effectively—supporting cognitive function, cardiovascular health, visual acuity, and radiant skin from the cellular level.
For Growing Children and Teens Needing Brain Development Support...
DHA is the most abundant omega-3 in the brain, comprising 35-40% of the brain's polyunsaturated fats. Research shows that DHA accumulation in the brain continues during the first two years of life, making it critical for learning, memory, focus, and cognitive development. Studies in children with ADHD found that omega-3 supplementation led to more stable emotions, reduced oppositional behavior, and an 8% decrease in impulsive behaviors.
For Pregnant Women Building Baby's Brain and Eyes...
DHA supports fetal neural and retinal development while maintaining maternal wellness. DHA accumulation in the retina is complete by birth, and adequate DHA intake during pregnancy has been linked to better visual-motor skills and enhanced communication abilities in infants. The International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids recommends 300 mg of DHA daily during pregnancy and lactation—yet average intake is only 60-80 mg, just 25% of the recommended amount.
For Active Adults Seeking Heart Health and Mental Clarity...
Studies show DHA helps maintain healthy cardiovascular function by reducing triglyceride levels by 14-23%, supporting healthy blood pressure, and improving blood vessel function. Research has found a 17% improvement in mild depression symptoms with higher omega-3 intake. Additionally, a 2022 study from the Framingham Heart Study found that higher omega-3 levels were associated with larger hippocampal volumes (the brain region critical for memory) and better abstract reasoning in middle-aged adults.
For Aging Adults Fighting Cognitive Decline and Visual Health...
DHA may help preserve memory and support cognitive function as we age. Studies show that omega-3 supplementation reduced the risk of age-related macular degeneration by up to 30%—the leading cause of vision loss in older adults. Research indicates that maintaining adequate DHA status in midlife protects brain structure and function, with benefits seen even from modest increases in omega-3 intake.
O3Omega® Smoothies offers a new path to whole-family wellness—delivering optimal nutrition from the inside out, one delicious sachet at a time.
Backed by decades of peer-reviewed research on algal oil bioavailability and omega-3 health benefits, O3Omega Smoothies is bridging plant-based nutrition and science to power the next generation of family health—sustainably and purely.
