The Hidden Deficiency in Plant-Based Diets
Indian vegetarians are among the most nutritionally mindful people in the world. Yet, many unknowingly face one major gap: omega-3 fatty acids. These essential fats are crucial for brain health, inflammation control, and hormone regulation—but they're largely absent from typical vegetarian fare.
That’s where Omegaco, a plant-based omega-3 from organic flaxseed oil, steps in. Backed by research and free from fish-derived sources, it offers the missing link to holistic vegetarian wellness.
The Omega-3 Essentials: What They Do and Why You Need Them
Omega-3s support:
- Brain and memory function
- Cardiovascular protection
- Skin health and elasticity
- Mood regulation and hormonal balance
- Reduction of systemic inflammation
ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), found in flaxseed oil, is the only omega-3 found in plant-based diets. But here’s the challenge: the body converts only a small percentage of ALA into EPA and DHA, which are biologically active forms.
"Vegetarian diets typically yield lower plasma DHA concentrations, which are essential for cognitive and cardiovascular function." — Burdge GC, British Journal of Nutrition, 2006
Why You Can't Rely on Food Alone
Even the most health-conscious vegetarians often fall short on omega-3s. Common limitations include:
- Low intake of flax, chia, walnuts, or hemp (the main ALA sources)
- Overconsumption of omega-6 oils, which block ALA conversion
- Lack of EPA/DHA, which the body must make from ALA at a conversion rate of less than 10%
"To achieve sufficient EPA/DHA status on a vegetarian diet, targeted supplementation is strongly advised." — Sanders TA, Am J Clin Nutr, 2009
Why Omegaco Works Better
Omegaco by Excelgenics is:
- Rich in 560 mg of flaxseed oil per capsule
- Cold-pressed to preserve essential fatty acid structure
- Fortified with lignans for hormonal and antioxidant support
- Veg.-certified and free from fish, gelatin, and preservatives
It fills the omega-3 gap while respecting ethical, environmental, and digestive sensitivities.
Who Should Consider Supplementing
- Vegetarians or vegans not regularly consuming flax or chia
- Professionals dealing with stress, poor recovery, or fatigue
- Individuals with hormonal issues, PCOS, or mood fluctuations
- Parents supporting growing teens on plant-based diets
- Adults 40+ seeking heart, brain, and skin protection
Healthier Habits Deserve Smarter Support
Being vegetarian isn’t a limitation—it’s a strength. But even the strongest habits need strategic reinforcement. Omega-3s are not a bonus nutrient. They’re foundational.
With Omegaco, Excelgenics empowers every vegetarian lifestyle with the essential fatty acids your body deserves.
