Vegan Algal Omega-3 Oil 30ml by Viridian

Vegan Algal Omega-3 Oil by Viridian, EPA and DHA Without the Fishy Burps

Viridian Vegan EPA & DHA Algal Omega-3 Oil 30ml is omega-3 done the plant-based way. Algal oil delivers the same EPA and DHA fatty acids you'd get from fish oil, but it's sourced from algae, which is where fish get them from in the first place. One 30ml bottle, a daily dose by spoon or dropper, no fish, no fishy burps. If you've avoided omega-3 because you don't fancy fish-based supplements, this is the one we point you to.

Why EPA and DHA matter

EPA and DHA are the two omega-3 fatty acids your body actually uses. The authorised EFSA claims tied to them are clear. DHA contributes to maintenance of normal brain function. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart (at a daily intake of 250mg). Tie the claim to the nutrient.

Algal oil is the cleanest plant-based source of preformed EPA and DHA, which makes it the sensible choice for vegans and vegetarians. Flax and chia provide ALA, which the body has to convert into EPA and DHA, and the conversion rate is low. If you want EPA and DHA directly and you don't eat fish, algal oil is the answer.

Who it's for

• Vegans and vegetarians who want EPA and DHA directly, not from ALA
• People who can't tolerate fish oil or don't enjoy the taste
• Adults supporting heart, brain and vision as part of a daily routine
• Anyone with a fish or shellfish allergy

What's different about this one

Two things. First, it's algal, so it's vegan, sustainable and free of the fishy aftertaste. Second, it's Viridian, so the label tells you exactly what's in the bottle. If you eat fish and want a fish-based omega instead, browse our Omega & Oils range.

How to take it

Follow the dosing instructions on the label. Take daily with food. Once opened, refrigerate the bottle and use within the timeframe stated on the label to keep the oil fresh. Easy to add to a smoothie or take straight from the spoon.

Pair it with
