Review by Erin Pavlina

Do you have a good source of DHA in your diet? If you don't know what DHA is you're probably not getting it. DHA is formed when you have enough Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids in your diets. Vegans generally don't get enough Omega-3s. In the past DHA supplements weren't vegan; they usually contained fish oil and the gel caps contained gelatin. But NuTru has come out with a new DHA supplement that is vegan, including the gel cap it comes in! This is amazing and wonderful news for vegans, because now there is a direct source of DHA.

You can buy these vitamins at Vegan Essentials, and soon they may become available in your health food store. Read up on the importance of essential fatty acids by reading Flaxseeds and Flaxseed Pointers by Brenda Davis, R.D. Then you'll know why the appearance of this product is so important to vegans!
