True Omegas+ – rethinking omegas for a sustainable future

What Are Omega Fatty Acids?

We all strive to make the best choices for our health, but some decisions carry a ripple effect beyond ourselves. Omega fatty acids - renowned for supporting brain, heart, eye, joint, and overall cellular health - have become a core element of many wellness routines.

Yet, beneath the promises of fish oil supplements lies a deeper challenge: overfished oceans, disrupted marine ecosystems, and supply chains that often fail to prioritise sustainability.

For generations, fish has been the default source of most omega supplements. But now, more than ever, it’s time to pause and reflect: what is the true cost of this choice? Can we nourish ourselves in a way that honours both our health and the planet?

At Ancient + Brave, we believe the answer is a resounding yes. Through thoughtful innovation and a commitment to sustainability, we’re proving there’s a better way to thrive - one that’s kind to the earth and more aligned with the future we all hope to create.

Why Choose True Omegas+?

Our mission is simple: to create products that are not only effective for your health but also environmentally responsible. After all, our health is intrinsically linked to the health of the planet. Without a thriving planet, we lose the essential elements we need to flourish.

Our oceans play a crucial role in this balance, providing clean air, regulating the climate, and supporting diverse ecosystems that sustain life. Protecting marine ecosystems is essential for the wellbeing of future generations. That’s why we’ve made it our priority to offer a solution that delivers the benefits of omega fatty acids 

Let’s take a closer look at the ingredients.  

Sea Buckthorn: A Resilient Super Plant

One of the hero ingredients in True Omegas+ is sea buckthorn - a remarkable plant known for its ability to thrive in harsh climates. More than just resilient, sea buckthorn actively improves the environment around it. By enhancing soil health and boosting nitrogen levels, it helps to create healthier ecosystems wherever it grows.

The extraction process is just as impressive. We use a closed-loop system that recycles carbon dioxide (CO2), a byproduct of industrial processes, instead of relying on harmful solvents. This method not only minimises waste, but also prevents oxidation with low temperature-methods, ensuring the fatty acids retain their full potency. It’s a win for your health and the environment.

Life’s Omega: Omega 3 from Algae

For years, fish oil has been the go-to source for omega-3s. But thanks to scientific advances, we now know that algae is an excellent alternative choice, and here’s why:

• Faster production: Algae can be cultivated into nutritional oils in just 25 days, compared to the 24 months needed for fish oil production. This shortens supply chains and reduces environmental impact.

• Higher potency: Algae-derived omega-3s are more concentrated, allowing smaller doses to deliver the same benefits. This makes them more efficient to transport and easier to incorporate into your daily ritual. 

• Marine-friendly: Algae farming doesn’t disrupt marine ecosystems. It’s grown in controlled environments free from pollutants, using clean water-based extraction methods without harmful solvents.

By choosing algae over fish, we’re helping to safeguard our oceans for future generations. 

Sustainable sourcing

While we champion the benefits of plant-based alternatives, we also recognise the important role that animal-derived foods play in our diets. Nutritionally, they provide unique and powerful benefits that are difficult to replicate in plant-based dates. 

At Ancient + Brave, we’re committed to making the most sustainable choices possible when sourcing these ingredients, ensuring our products deliver optimal health benefits without compromising the planet.

Our True Collagen, for example, is sourced from European cattle, which adhere to some of the world’s highest standards of farming. Unlike collagen derived from cattle raised on farms in South America - where deforestation of tropical rainforests is often linked to farming practices. 

For our Wild Collagen, we use free-swimming, wild-caught fish that are certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC). This globally recognised certification ensures that fish are sourced responsibly, with practices that protect marine biodiversity and prevent overfishing.

True Omegas+ is more than just a supplement - it’s a commitment to a better future. By choosing True Omegas+, you’re supporting your body with the beautiful benefits of essential fatty acids, including the often-overlooked omega-7, while reducing reliance on overfished resources and embracing sustainable farming practices.
