A high-quality, pure vegan omega-3 supplement from algae, providing essential EPA/DHA, but at a premium price point.
Quantity: 60
Nordic Naturals Algae Omega is a premium plant-based omega-3 supplement derived from microalgae, making it an ideal choice for vegans, vegetarians, or those with fish allergies. Each serving provides 715mg of total omega-3 fatty acids, with a beneficial combination of EPA and DHA, essential for brain, heart, and overall health. The brand maintains its high standards for purity and freshness, even with an algae source, ensuring the product is free from contaminants. While it effectively delivers the benefits of omega-3s without animal products, algae-based omega-3s typically come at a higher price point than traditional fish oil supplements, which is a key consideration for consumers.
- Excellent vegan source of EPA and DHA omega-3s, suitable for vegetarians and those with fish allergies.
- Maintains Nordic Naturals' high standards for purity and quality, ensuring a clean product.
- Provides essential fatty acids for brain, heart, and overall health without animal ingredients.
- Softgel form is convenient and easy to take.
- Significantly higher price per serving compared to fish-based omega-3 supplements.
- Omega-3 concentration is good for an algae source, but not as high as some concentrated fish oils.
- Ensure no cross-contamination with non-vegan products if strict veganism is a concern (though the product itself is algae-based).
- As with any supplement, consult a healthcare professional before use, especially if pregnant, nursing, or on medication.
