Founded nearly 30 years ago, Vital Nutrients is the latest nutritional supplement company to create a vegan fish oil alternative, called Ultra Pure Vegan Omega SPM+. It provides the most biologically active form of pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), as well as 400mg of triglyceride from omega-3s that are derived from sustainably sourced plant-based algal oil concentrate. 

As a company, Vital Nutrients is dedicated to making a positive impact on the health of its customers as well as the planet, and as such, looks for a sustainable alternative to the traditional vitamins we often search for, such as fish-based omega oils.  

This product, which comes in a soft gel capsule, acts as a vegan alternative to marine fish oil, while still supporting our immune responses, cardiovascular health, and cognitive focus. What’s great about Vital Nutrients’ product is that it holds the exclusive position on this particular type of algal-based triglyceride DHA/DPA-derived pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) to allow for better absorption into the body. 

John P. Troup, Vital Nutrients’ Chief Science and Education Officer commented: “In collaboration with our healthcare practitioners, we identified a critical need in the marketplace for a vegan-friendly SPM solution, as well as smaller omega-3 capsules for increased compliance among the general patient population.

“Our new Vegan Omega SPM+ delivers a first of its kind vegan algae omega formulation, in a capsule that is 40% smaller than traditional fish oils for improved patient compliance.”

It’s believed that up to 80% of Americans lack an adequate intake of omega-3s in their diet, which is worrying, especially since traditional fish-oil-derived omega-3 supplements often do not contain decent levels of SPMs and, of course, are not suitable for the ever-growing vegan population. 

This is the market space that Vital Nutrients feel they fit, especially as Ultra Pure Vegan Omega SPM+ is gluten, dairy, soy, peanut, and tree nut free, as well as vegan. So it’s safe to say, it’s a great option for most people. 

Vital Nutrients offers a huge range of supplements, and searching on their site you can find what you’re looking for by either product type of health concern, which we think is really useful. We particularly love the Ultra Pure Vegan Omega SPM+ as Vital Nutrients claim that it offers up to five times more immune system activation than traditional fish oils. How amazing is that?! Definitely check it out, if you’re looking to try a new brand or want to up your omega-3 intake.
