A: Natural vitamin E, derived from foods, is thought to be twice as bioavailable as synthetic vitamin E, derived from oil. Because polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) like omega 3 and omega 6 are easily oxidized in the body, extra vitamin E should always be taken with EPA/ DHA supplements. The succinate form is thought to be most protective of breast and prostate health.
Q: Why natural Vitamin D3?
A: Vitamin D3, cholecalciferol, is generally agreed to be twice as bioavailable as vitamin D2, ergocalciferol. Fish is the best source of vitamin D in the diet, followed by Vit D2 fortified milk. Therefore 100% of the DV of vitamin D was added to this vegan formula. Vit D is not only important for strong bones, but also breast and prostate health and a strong immune system. Most authorities think that many of us not living in the warm sunny southern parts of the USA do not get enough vitamin D, especially if we are dark skinned or don’t get moderate but regular sun exposure.
Q: How are the vitamins “synergistic”?
A: In addition to the two answers above, B vitamins are important in the conversion of ALA to EPA and DHA. B vitamins also support brain and heart health, in particular by helping to lower a pro-inflammatory substance called
homocysteine.

Q: Is NanOmega3 safe for children?
A: Yes. As soon as children have enough teeth to chew food, presuming no medical conditions warranting food avoidance or prescription drug use, they may enjoy up to a scoop a day, though 1⁄2 scoop is usually enough support for most children. As children approach puberty up to two scoops may be enjoyed, though one scoop will usually suffice. If you have concerns, we always defer to your family health provider.
For infants, it is likely being breast feed by a mother who is enjoying two scoops a day is the best advice, presuming the OBGYN concurs.
Q: Is NanOmega3 safe for pregnant and lactating women?
A: Yes, indeed we recommend 2-3 scoops a day for pregnant women, presuming the approval of the health care provider in charge!
Q: What is the NanoSorb® liposome?

® liposome is proven safe and effective way to make poorly bioavailable nutrients more bioavailable. Learn more
