Omega-3 from algae – without fish

Every year, 17 billion kilos of fish are caught for Omega-3, primarily for fish oil capsules. Did you know that a single fish oil capsule can contain as many as 30 anchovies? This puts enormous pressure on our oceans, while fish is merely a way station. Algae are the original source of Omega-3 – 100% plant-based and fish-free.

  • Good for your heart

    Omega-3 EPA and DHA contribute to the normal functioning of the heart

  • Good for your brain

    Omega-3 DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function

  • Good for your eyes

    Omega-3 DHA is good for vision and helps to see normally

Did you know?

The Health Council recommends a daily intake of 200 milligrams of Omega-3 from fish —the equivalent of one serving of oily fish per week. However, research by the RIVM (National Institute for Public Health and the Environment) shows that only 11.4% of Dutch people meet this requirement (source: RIVM ).

I am super happy with this

filled star filled star filled star filled star filled star

I'm super happy with this; I specifically chose it because it's vegan. And we leave the fish alone, so that's a win-win! 😃 Also, it was delivered on time, and customer service is quick and friendly. I've expanded my subscription to include plankton capsules, and I have high expectations for them! Hahaha!

It's a quality product from a food-grade source. Better for the body's absorption. I'm very satisfied!

Product works well

filled star filled star filled star filled star filled star

The product works well, no side effects, but I didn't experience any with a similar product from another company. That one was also algae-based, so vegan. I switched to this brand because I like that it's Dutch-grown without having to be harvested from nature. It's even slightly more affordable than my previous brand.

I've been using it for a few weeks because I don't want to eat fish, but I haven't noticed any noticeable effects yet. I'm confident, though, so I'll keep using it. Fast delivery and well packaged.

So nice

It's so nice that I now know that I am getting enough omega-3 fatty acids, among other things, and that I can therefore remain a vegetarian with peace of mind.

Collapsible content

Why omega-3 fatty acids?

Omega-3 fats are polyunsaturated fatty acids. Scientific research shows that at least 250mg omega-3 is good for your heart, brain and eyes (health claims approved by the EFSA).

Why algae oil instead of fish oil?

Algal oil is a plant-based alternative to fish oil. Fish get their omega-3 from algae. By using algal oil, you get omega-3 straight from the source, without the need for fish. Good for you and better for the oceans!

How much omega-3 do I need per day?

The Health Council advises adults to consume 200 mg of Omega-3 from fish daily.

Do you eat little to no oily fish? One capsule of our algae oil contains 250 mg DHA and 125 mg EPA, making it a good (and responsible) substitute!

When is the best time to take omega-3?

We recommend 1 capsule per day during or just after a meal.

Is the omega-3 free from allergens?

Yes, it is free from allergens.

Is omega-3 safe to take during pregnancy/breastfeeding?

Yes, it is safe to take during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

What is the Totox value of the algae oil?

The Totox value of our algae oil has always been below 5. This is very low and means the oil is fresh and therefore not oxidized.
