{"product_id":"omega-3-bloom","title":"Omega 3 Bloom","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat Omega 3 Bloom Is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOmega 3 Bloom is an omega-3 supplement derived from fish oil, providing the two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids known as EPA and DHA. It is a food supplement, taken daily alongside a normal diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Omega-3 Actually Refers To\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Omega-3\" is not one substance. It is a family of fatty acids that share a particular chemical structure, and three members of that family come up constantly on labels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALA\u003c\/strong\u003e (alpha-linolenic acid) is the plant-derived one. It is found in flaxseed, chia, walnuts and rapeseed oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEPA\u003c\/strong\u003e (eicosapentaenoic acid) and \u003cstrong\u003eDHA\u003c\/strong\u003e (docosahexaenoic acid) are the long-chain forms. They occur in oily fish and in the algae that fish feed on, which is where fish get them from in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis distinction is the single most useful thing to understand before buying an omega-3 product, because a supplement can legitimately say \"omega-3\" on the front while providing only ALA. If EPA and DHA are what you are looking for, the figures to find are the EPA and DHA amounts per serving — not the total oil weight, and not the total omega-3 figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFish Oil, Cod Liver Oil And Algal Oil — Three Different Products\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are sold next to each other and they are not interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFish oil\u003c\/strong\u003e is pressed from the body of oily fish such as anchovy, sardine and mackerel. It is the most common source of EPA and DHA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCod liver oil\u003c\/strong\u003e comes from the liver rather than the body, and consequently carries vitamins A and D as well. That makes it a different product with different considerations, particularly around how much vitamin A it brings with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlgal oil\u003c\/strong\u003e is derived from marine algae — the original source of EPA and DHA in the food chain. It is the route by which a genuinely vegan EPA and DHA supplement can be made, since fish oil never can be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Freshness Matters With An Oil\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFatty acids oxidise. This is ordinary chemistry rather than a scare story, and it is the reason omega-3 products are packaged the way they are — sealed, opaque where possible, and with a storage instruction on the label worth actually following.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also why the storage line on an oil supplement deserves more attention than the storage line on a tablet. Keep the pack sealed, keep it away from heat and direct light, and follow the instruction printed on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Fits Into Your Routine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOmega-3 is generally taken with a meal, which makes it one of the easier supplements to remember — it attaches itself to eating rather than needing a slot of its own. It is a daily habit rather than an occasional one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Get In Each Pack\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single pack, a 2 pack and a 4 pack. Identical product in each; only the quantity changes. Prices are shown on this page before you add anything to your basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdults who want EPA and DHA from a fish source, and who would rather compare the EPA and DHA figures than the size of the number on the front of the pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not suitable if you avoid fish, follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, or have a fish allergy. Omega-3 from a fish source is never vegan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions, Answered\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between ALA, EPA and DHA?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eALA is the plant-derived omega-3, found in flaxseed, chia and walnuts. EPA and DHA are the long-chain forms found in oily fish and in marine algae.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan a supplement say \"omega-3\" and contain no EPA or DHA?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. A product providing only ALA is still an omega-3 product. If EPA and DHA are what you want, look for those two figures specifically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs fish oil the same as cod liver oil?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Fish oil comes from the body of the fish. Cod liver oil comes from the liver and also carries vitamins A and D, which makes it a different product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there a vegan omega-3?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, but not from fish. Algal oil, made from marine algae, is the vegan route to EPA and DHA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere do fish get their omega-3 from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom algae, through the food chain. Algal oil supplements go directly to the original source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I store an oil supplement?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep the pack sealed and away from heat and direct light, and follow the storage instruction printed on the pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I take it with food?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOmega-3 supplements are generally taken with a meal.
