Vegan Omega-3 (DHA + EPA) 500mg Capsules

Our Vegan Omega-3 has a shelf life of 2 years in its sealed container. Make sure to keep it in a dry, cool place away from the sunlight and refrigerate after opening.

Before introducing any supplement to your children’s nutrition, Vegan Omega-3 included, it is necessary to consult with a pediatrician.

Both fish and marine algae are rich sources of EPA & DPA, which offer substantial health benefits. However, fish omega-3 does have slightly higher levels of DHA & EPA. Fish ingest EPA/DHA from eating algae, whereas harvesting algae as the direct source means that you still retain a potent source of DHA and EPA without all the processing. The purest source of omega-3 comes from algae, not fish, although the 2 products offer almost identical benefits.

Our Vegan Omega-3 formula is non-GMO, cGMP certified, 100% vegan, sourced from premium schizochytrium sp. algae sustainably grown in the USA. It contains 300mg DHA and 150mg EPA, which is the ideal ratio of these essential omega-3 fatty acids.

Every bottle of Vegan Omega-3 also contains small amounts of purified water, non-GMO starch, glycerin, food grade seaweed extract, rosemary oil extract (preservative), ascorbyl palmitate (fat soluble Vitamin C), and tocopherols (Vitamin E). These ingredients help to formulate the capsule, which makes the delivery of EPA and DHA more bioavailable.

Take 2 capsules daily or as directed by a health professional, preferably with a meal (not on an empty stomach). It is best to take your Vegan Omega-3 at breakfast or lunch, but remember not to take it right before physical activity.

As with any supplement, and especially when pregnant, you should speak with your health care professional before adding an Omega-3 supplement to your daily nutrition.

When shopping for an Omega-3 supplement, you’ll notice that many vegan varieties only contain DHA and not EPA. Amandean’s Vegan Omega-3 contains both DHA & EPA, which ensures we’re consuming a healthy balance of omega-3 and omega-6 combined, the ideal ratio of approximately 1-4:1. Most Western diets contain a ratio in and around 1:10, and even 1:20 in some cases. What this means is, while we’re neglecting omega-3s (which are absolutely essential to our health) the problem lies in excess consumption of omega-6 fatty acids. Supplementing with a balance of the two ensures we are getting the anti-inflammatory effects, lipid mediator activity, and energy production benefits only produced when both DHA & EPA are present.

As opposed to fish oil, algal oil has little to no side effects. There is no unpleasant fishy aftertaste or burps. We do recommend taking your Vegan Omega-3 with a meal and not right before physical activity to avoid digestive discomfort.
