MegaFood Shifts Tides with Launch of Plant-Based Omega 3-6-9

New offering is fish-free, better tasting and designed for whole body health

MANCHESTER, N.H., May 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- MegaFood, a certified B Corporation and 1% for the Planet member that crafts planet-first vitamins and minerals, announced today the launch of Omega 3-6-9, a plant-powered complex with a unique array of key 3-6-9 fatty acids and 600 mg of Omega-3 for heart, brain, vision, and joint support ^†. Sourced with the environment in mind, Omega 3-6-9 is made from a duo of farm-traceable Ahiflower^® and fish-free algae oil to minimize the impact on marine ecosystems. Plus, it's coated and infused with organic lemon oil for a burp-less ^†† experience and reduced aftertaste.

While traditional Omega-3 supplements rely on fish oil and can contribute to overfishing and the depletion of marine life, Ahiflower^® is grown in the UK using regenerative farming practices and each acre provides as much Omega-3 oil as 500,000 anchovies. MegaFood's powerhouse duo of Ahiflower^® and fish-free algae oil offers a vegan alternative to fish oil that has the same great benefits without the environmental disruption.

"At MegaFood, it's our mission to embed sustainability into all aspects of our business which includes the products we innovate and the way we source ingredients." says Stacia Betley, Director of Sustainability and Social Impact. "I'm excited by this product as it's a plant-based alternative to fish oil and shifting to plant-rich diets is a top climate solution¹ that we can all engage in. By using fish-free algae oil, we are making plant-based alternatives more available and are supporting a healthier marine ecosystem. Our new plant-powered Omega 3-6-9 complex is grown and sourced with people and the planet in mind, sourced from fellow B-corp, Ahiflower^®."

In addition to sustainable sourcing, MegaFood's Omega 3-6-9 is formulated to offer a better taste experience than many traditional Omega-3 supplements. While consumers often report unpleasant fishy burps and tastes with Omega products², the oils in Omega 3-6-9 are carefully processed for minimal oxidation for better tasting oil. In addition, a delayed release capsule helps reduce burps and a lemon oil coating minimizes aftertaste.

Additional benefits of Omega 3-6-9 include that it's free of mercury, PCB, and tested for 150+ pesticides. It's also Non-GMO Project Verified, gluten-free, and made without 9 common food allergens, including milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish, shellfish, and sesame.

Omega 3-6-9 is now available to purchase at Amazon and MegaFood.com. To learn more, visit megafood.com/omega-3-6-9.
