Vegan Omega 3 Algae Oil 500mg | 120 Vegan Softgels | DHA 200mg & EPA 100mg | Vegan Alternative to Omega 3 Fish Oil | Supports Eye, Brain & Heart Health | Essential Fatty Acid

Same quality algae oil as other brands but more affordable. They don't have a strong fishy smell either. The packaging isn't aesthetically pleasing however it's what's inside that matters to me personally!

I was after some non-fishy, omega 3 oil alternatives. I tried fish oil, but they always repeated on me and I found the smell of them unpleasant. I've been taking these for a few days now and they seem great. They don't have much of a smell, they're easy to swallow and they haven't caused any digestion issues.

I'm one of those people who browse through all the search results to find the best value vegan product.The important criteria here are the price (obviously) and the amount of EPA and DHA.The EPA and DHA here is as high as any other vegan omega 3 supplement, while the price per capsule is among the lowest (by 50% in some cases!).The human body doesn't need much oil: it's around 2% of calories: and most fatty acids (found in dietary oils) can be produced by the body from other oils or fats. Omega 3 and Omega 6 are the two oils which the body cannot manufacture from other oils, so they're considered essential.Omega 6 is plentiful. Omega 3 is much rarer. Worse than that; the essential metabolites of Omega 3 (EPA and DHA) don't convert from Omega 3 efficiently, so it's a sensible safeguard to supplement them.And this is the best-value product to do just that.

With so many Vegans now adopting the plant based approach it is becoming more an more important to get this vital supplement in one of the three forms available.Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA): This is the plant-based form of omega-3 found in flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and hemp seeds. The body can convert ALA into EPA and DHA, but this conversion is inefficient.Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA): This is a marine-based omega-3 found in fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines. EPA is linked to various health benefits, including heart health and reduced inflammation.Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA): This is another marine-based omega-3 found in fatty fish, algae, and krill oil. DHA is essential for brain and eye development, especially during infancy and childhood.It's important to note that while ALA can be converted into EPA and DHA, the conversion rate is low.Consuming EPA and DHA directly from marine sources or supplements is generally considered more beneficial for overall health since the body can have a low efficiency of conversion to ALA and EPA.By taking these supplements we can give ourselves the best chance of maintain those ALA and EPA levels. It is worth mentioning that recent studies also show a correlation between cognitive impairment and low Omega 3 levels.After researching this for some time and checking al the products available, this one is very good value for money and also made in the UK. Being made from Algae oil means although it is ALA and EPA no animals were harmed in its production, so its vegan. It is also gluten freeMy only concern (as with most supplements) is the lack of clarity on third party testing. With so many heavy metals in our waters without third part testing for purity we are essentially hoping the any metal contamination is low and below any thresholds likely to be a health issue. Aside from that I do like this product and at around £7 per month (taking 2 per day) offers great value too.

No bad taste good value

Great value for money compared to other brands.

Especially ideal for those on a vegan diet who may lack this supplement due to foodstuffs rich in these oils, not being in their daily diet. As well as Gluten Free & Vegan diets, this supplement is also ideal for those who maintain a diet free from dairy, soya and sugar.Teenage granddaughter who is both Coeliac & Vegan is very happy with these supplementsI hope this review has been helpful

I’m always looking for vegan supplements of omega-3 for many reasons: This supplement is a more ethical source of those essential fats without the fishy taste and a more direct way of incorporating them into my diet (the omega-3 in fish originates from the algae in their diet). I also trust the fact that the supplement is manufactured in the UK. An additional advantage is that it contains vitamin E, which prevents oxidation of omega-3 but also has its own health benefits. An excellent product for a good price.
