Juice Plus+ Essentials Omega Blend
Juice Plus+
Overview
This supplement offers a solid plant-based source of DHA and EPA from algal oil at clinically relevant doses for general health support. While it includes a broad spectrum of other plant-based fatty acids, the proprietary blend design and the limited scientific backing for some of these components as standalone supplements make it challenging to fully assess the comprehensive effectiveness of the entire blend beyond the primary omega-3s (DHA, EPA, ALA).
The Good
Excellent plant-based source of DHA and EPA from algal oil, suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Avoids potential contaminants found in some fish oils (e.g., mercury).
Good total omega-3 fatty acid content, including EPA, DHA, and ALA, supporting brain, heart, and eye health.
The Bad
Proprietary blend obscures exact dosages of individual omegas beyond EPA/DHA/ALA
ALA has limited conversion efficiency to EPA/DHA
Omega-5/7 and Omega-6/9 sections of the blend are poorly researched or not well-defined for supplementation
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking plant-based omega-3s, those avoiding fish oil, general health support
Skip If: You have known allergies to any listed plant ingredients or are on blood-thinning medication without consulting a doctor.
