A Review: Ascenta's NutraVege Omega 3

Hey All! Today I bring you a review! The people at NutraVege sent me their vegan omega-3 to try out. I am not a fan of taking omega-3 straight. I usually prefer a pill form (vegan of course). But I was pleasantly surprised with NutraVege.
NutraVege combines echium oil and algal DHA to create a high potency vegan omega-3 supplement. It contains 400 mg of DHA, 420 mg of GLA and 550 mg of SDA. These are really important for me while breastfeeding, I wish I had this while pregnant (I was taking a pill version). I usually like to add the oil to my smoothie, but there is no need to with NutraVege. It has a palatable citrus flavor, so when I take it straight, it doesn't leave my mouth tasting like the ocean floor. The best part is: NO FISH BURPS! Although, the omega-3 pill I take is vegan, it still gave me the occasional fish burp. I was relieved to find out that NutraVege didn't have this nasty side effect. I am so glad I got to review this product since there are so few good vegan omega-3 supplements out there!
