I am super happy with this

filled star filled star filled star filled star filled star

Super happy with this! I chose it because it’s vegan — and leaving the fish alone is a win-win. Delivery was on time, customer service is fast and friendly, and I’ve now added the plankton capsules to my subscription. Very excited about those!

It's a quality product from a nutritious 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 and I haven’t had any side effects, similar to another algae-based vegan product I used before. I switched to this brand because it’s grown in the Netherlands rather than harvested from nature. It’s also a bit more affordable than my previous brand.

"More people and too few fish"

Seventy percent of the world’s population doesn’t get the omega-3 they need. And if everyone were to rely on fish as their source, there simply wouldn’t be enough fish in the ocean. According to scientists at NTNU — the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

Omega-3, good for your heart, eyes and brain.

The Health Council recommends 200 mg of omega-3 daily, but research shows that only 11.4% of Dutch people achieve this.

The dark side of omega-3 from fish

Every year, around 17 billion kilos of fish are caught for omega-3, mainly for fish oil capsules. Did you know that a single fish oil capsule can contain up to 30 anchovies? This puts enormous pressure on our oceans, while fish are just the middleman. Algae are the original source of omega-3: 100% plant-based and fish-free.

30 anchovies for one capsule

For one jar of omega-3, around 30 anchovies are used, a direct contribution to overfishing.

Heated, pressed, deodorized

Anchovies are ground and heated, resulting in an oil with a strong odor and loss of purity.

Not only anchovies die

Alongside anchovies, plankton, juvenile fish and many other marine organisms are impacted by industrial fishing practices.

Why fish? Omega-3 comes from algae.

Fish don't make omega-3—they get it from algae, so you might as well go straight to the source, farmed on the mainland.

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 recommends that adults consume 200 mg of omega-3 per day from fish. If you eat little or no oily fish, one capsule of our algae oil contains 250 mg DHA and 125 mg EPA, making it a practical plant-based option.

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?

Our algae oil has consistently shown a Totox value below 5. This very low value indicates freshness and minimal oxidation.

Wat zijn de ingrediënten van onze omega-3?

Olie van de microalg Schizochytrium sp., high oleic zonnebloemolie,
d-alfa-tocoferol, antioxidanten: rozemarijnextract, gemengde tocoferolen, ascorbylpalmitaat. Capsule: hydroxypropylzetmeel; bevochtigingsmiddel: glycerol; geleermiddel: carrageen; gezuiverd water.

Heeft omega-3 bijwerkingen?

Omega 3 wordt over het algemeen goed verdragen. Sommige mensen ervaren bij hogere doseringen milde maag- of darmklachten, zoals een opgeblazen gevoel, misselijkheid of oprispingen.

Waar zit omega-3 in?

Omega-3 zit onder andere in vette vis, maar ook in algen. Algen zijn de oorspronkelijke bron van EPA en DHA. Vissen krijgen deze vetzuren binnen via hun voeding, waardoor ze omega-3 bevatten.

Wat doet omega-3 met je lichaam?

Omega-3-vetzuren spelen een rol in verschillende processen in het lichaam. Bij een dagelijkse inname van 250mg EPA en DHA dragen deze vetzuren bij aan de normale werking van het hart. DHA draagt daarnaast bij aan het behoud van een normale hersenfunctie en een normaal gezichtsvermogen.
