With awareness spreading fast, initiatives and sustainable businesses are also looking into vegan options. Amit Mehta, for instance, founded Unived Healthcare, which manufactures and retails herbal and vegan products, last July. 'We make Vegan Omega-3 DHA MAX using micro algae oil. It is a myth that only fish oil contains Omega-3.
The fact is that micro algae are the biggest source of Omega-3,which is consumed by fish,' explains the 30-year-old Bandra resident, whose company is recognised by the Vegan Society of UK. Even their capsules, which are generally made of pig fat or cow bone, are made using plant leaves. Their other products include Red Yeast Rice, an alternative to natural statin that lowers bad cholesterol. They also manufactureherbal teas.
