If you follow a plant-based diet, you have to be extra careful to make sure you’re getting enough EPA and DHA omega-3s. Eating fatty fish like salmon and sardines is the main way to get these important nutrients. Taking an algal oil supplement made from marine microalgae is another, since it’s the only vegan source of EPA and DHA. Plant-based seafood can be great for mimicking the taste and texture of seafood, but nutrition-wise it can vary greatly! Be sure to get the omega-3s you need by choosing algal-oil fortified plant-based seafoods or better yet, take an algal oil supplement!

Pregnant women need EPA and DHA omega-3s - not only for their own well-being but also for supporting the developing baby's brain and eye health.

Taking an omega-3 supplement is a surefire way to make sure you’re meeting your daily needs.

Dr. Kaitlin Roke, GOED’s director of scientific communications and outreach - and a mom-to-be - explains in this video.

Did you know that 1 in 10 babies worldwide are born premature? One of the themes of this year’s World Prematurity Day (Nov. 17) is “small actions, big impact.” One small action a pregnant mom can take is to make sure she’s getting enough EPA and DHA omega-3s, nutrients that help prevent early preterm birth (<34 weeks). According to a Cochrane review, increasing EPA+DHA intake during pregnancy was associated with a 42% reduction in early preterm birth. A daily fish oil, krill oil or vegetarian algae oil supplement providing at least 700 mg EPA+DHA is what GOED recommends for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
