MegaFood launched a new supplement—Omega 3-6-9. 

This plant-powered complex offers a blend of 3-6-9 fatty acids and 600 mg of Omega-3 to aid in heart, brain, vision and joint support, the company shared. 

The product contains ahiflower and fish-free algae oil, and is coated with lemon oil to reduce burping and minimize aftertaste, per the brand.

“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,” said 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 solution 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.”

Currently, Omega 3-6-9 is available for purchase on Amazon and the MegaFood website.
