Vegetarian Omega 3

Omega 3 from cranberries comes from cranberry seeds. To make this ingredient, cranberry seeds, which are a natural waste product of the process of manufacturing cranberry juices and other cranberry products, are collected. The seeds are then placed into a cold press to have the oil extracted. Omega 3 from cranberries is found in this oil. The press requires no chemicals or oxidization to make the omega 3 from cranberries.

Once the oil is extracted from the seeds, it is collected to be used as a dietary supplement. There are several ways that omega 3 from cranberries can be consumed. One of the tastiest ways to consume this ingredient is by adding it to dried cranberries. This not only makes the snack healthier, but it also enhances the cranberry flavor of the dried berries. With these enriched dried berries, b can be added to many other foods, such as baked goods, yogurts and cereals. The ingredient can also be added to fruit juices. Of course, like any other oil, this ingredient can be manufactured into capsules to be swallowed as a dietary supplement.

Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid, which means that it is a nutrient that is essential for the body to grow and function properly. Even though the body requires essential fatty acids, they are not nutrients that the body can produce on its own. For this reason, it is essential that individuals consume enough omega 3 from cranberries or other sources. The sad truth is, however, that in America this is rarely the case. Research indicates that over half of all Americans do not eat enough omega 3 from cranberries or any other natural source.

One segment of the population that is often deficient in omega 3 is vegetarians. Because omega 3 from cranberries contains no animal products or byproducts, this form of the fatty acid is perfect for vegetarians. Also, because most Americans are not accustomed to consuming large amounts of seafood, the fishy smell and taste of other sources of omega 3 are sometimes offensive. Omega 3 from cranberries does not smell or taste like fish, which fixes this problem.

While research into omega 3 from cranberries is a relatively modern concept, research into essential fatty acids dates back to the early 1900s. In the 1930s two American scientists were researching the benefits and makeup of vitamin F. Through the course of their research, they came to the conclusion that there was a distinction between omega 3 and omega 6, two essential fatty acids. Research continued over the next 40 years, resulting in over 500 discussions about these fatty acids in medical journals and other scientific literature. This eventually led to the discovering that it was possible to extract omega 3 from cranberries.

This research into fatty acids continued until the 1970s when researchers realized that adequate levels of omega 3 in the diet and good health were somehow connected. This exciting discovery led to research into the best ways to get omega 3 from cranberries and many other natural sources. In 1982 this research received worldwide fame as two Swedish researchers won the Nobel Prize for their efforts. They showed a correlation between certain physical complaints and inadequate consumption of fatty acids. Modern lines of research, many of which began in the 1990s, are focusing on how omega 3 from cranberries and other sources can benefit humans. Modern researchers are trying to prove other health benefits of this important fatty acid.
