He says that conventional DHA supplements are unnecessary and may even produce negative outcomes for cardiovascular health, brain function, and overall longevity. Palmer made the case against DHA supplements in a recent interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.klausmitchell.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Klaus Mitchell<\/a>, an entrepreneur, author, and the founder of Plant Based News.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the interview with Mitchell below to hear Palmer\u2019s argument in full, including the new research he says could lead to a new, more accurate understanding of omega-3 nutrition.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Palmer adopted a vegan diet following two near-death experiences in his 20s and then spent four decades in the natural products industry. In his search for optimal nutrition, he came across mycelium, the naturally occurring root-like structure of fungi, and spermidine, a naturally occurring organic compound derived from mycelium.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, Palmer launched his company, Clean Machine, and then introduced MycelPro-1, the first-ever mycelium-based<a href=\"https:\/\/plantbasednews.org\/tag\/protein\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> protein<\/a> powder, in 2025. Clean Machine also sells vegan-friendly BCAAs, vitamin D3, and ahiflower oil, which contains essential Omega-3 and 6 and is the richest non-GMO source of Omega-3 SDA.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re entering an age where nutrition is no longer just about calories and macros; it\u2019s about information, function, and future resilience,\u201d Palmer previously told PBN. \u201cMycelium isn\u2019t just a new protein; it\u2019s a new way to think about health, aging, and sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Could vegans be wasting money on omega-3 DHA supplements and potentially harming their health in the process?
