A Renewable Source of Omega-3s
As a sustainable source of omega-3s, Soymega™ is a solution that has the capacity to provide economic, environmental and nutritional benefits. Economically, Soymega™ provides an affordable omega-3 solution as a food ingredient that can be incorporated into everyday foods. From an environmental standpoint, Soymega™ is an omega-3 solution that is not solely dependent on marine sources. In addition, Soymega™ can help address the clear gap between omega-3 recommendations* from well-regarded organizations and current consumption through everyday foods.
As a renewable alternative to marine sources, Soymega™ can help to provide the necessary omega-3s to the growing population. One acre of SDA soybeans provides EPA omega-3 fatty acids equivalent to about 10,000 3-ounce servings of salmon.
*FDA has not established an RDI for omega-3s.
