How it helps you?
Vitamin B12 is vital for growth and division of your body's cells, and the forming of red blood cells and DNA in your body.
B12 is one of the B Vitamins that help your body convert food into glucose, the source of energy in your body. As a result, Vitamin B12 reduces tiredness and fatigue. It also supports your psychological function, helps maintain a healthy nervous system, and it is a vital nutrient for a healthy immune system.
Signs of being low in B12
If you're feeling weak or dizzy, having regular mouth ulcers, pale skin and pins and needles, these can all be signs of having too low Vitamin B12.

Skin Health: Supports healthy skin through reducing inflammation and protecting your skin against age related damage.
Vision Health: Essential daily support for your eye health and healthy vision.
What is Vegan Omega 3?
Omega 3 works in direct balance with Omega 6 fats. The ideal ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 intake is 2:1, however, this isn't often achieved, with some modern diets having a ratio of only 15:1. This is why it is often recommended everyone should take an Omega 3 supplement daily, not matter what diet you follow.
Where does vegan Omega 3 come from?
Fish get their Omega 3 by eating algae, or because they eat other fish which have eaten algae. Omega 3 from fish can contain toxins, depending on what the fish has eaten, and has a high propensity of going rancid. Fish-sourced Omega 3 also causes huge damage to our seas and environment.
Algae is one of the main starting points for Omega 3 into the food chain, so we cut out the middle man - or the middle fish - and ethically and sustainably source our Omega 3 directly from algae.
Where does B12 come from?
Vitamin B12 is found in almost all foods of animal origin, so it is also one of the most common nutrient deficiencies among those following plant-based diets.
Green plants do not provide Vitamin B12 and although it can be synthesized by some algae and bacteria, the bio-availability of Vitamin B12 from plant-based dietary forms is not good.
