What is the difference between omega 3 from algae and from fish oil?

Chemically you get the same fatty acids, EPA and DHA. The difference is in the source: fish get their omega 3 from algae, and this supplement skips that intermediate step by using the algae directly. The advantage is that it is vegan, has no fishy taste and keeps contaminants from the sea out.

What is the DHA in this supplement good for?

DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and normal brain function. That is an EU-approved claim, which applies at a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA. We may not go further than that approved claim.

How much EPA and DHA do you get per capsule?

The exact amount of EPA and DHA per capsule is stated on the packaging; it can differ slightly from batch to batch. The EU claim for DHA applies from 250 mg a day, so check the label to see whether the recommended dose gets you there.

When is the best time to take omega 3?

With a meal containing some fat, because as a fat-soluble fatty acid omega 3 is absorbed better that way. The time of day makes no further difference; pick a fixed moment so you do not forget it.

What should you look out for?

If you take blood thinners, consult your doctor before using omega 3. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult first as well. Keep the jar out of reach of children.

Reviews

This omega 3 comes not from fish but from algae, which makes it a vegan source of EPA and DHA. For anyone who wants to keep their omega 3 up without fish oil, because you eat plant-based or would rather avoid the fishy taste. A jar contains 30 capsules, one per day.

Why omega 3 from algae and not from fish?

EPA and DHA, the best-known omega 3 fatty acids in supplements, are originally made by algae in the sea. Fish that eat those algae store the fatty acids in their fat, which is where fish oil then comes from. Together uses the algae directly as the source. That is plant-based, it sidesteps the pressure of overfishing, and it keeps contaminants from the sea such as heavy metals and microplastics out of the end product. According to the manufacturer’s label, each softgel contains 207 mg DHA, 123 mg EPA and 22 mg DPA. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart (EU-approved claim at 250 mg EPA and DHA per day; one softgel provides 330 mg).

Where it comes from

This is a supplement from the British brand Together, which we have carried for some time. Together produces vegan in the United Kingdom to strict standards and works without artificial binders, colourings, flavourings or fillers. The capsules are plant-based and the brand deliberately chooses a resealable pouch instead of a plastic jar.

How do you use it?

Take 1 capsule daily with water, preferably with a meal containing some fat, because omega 3 is fat-soluble and is then absorbed better. Sticking to a fixed moment helps you stay consistent. Stick to the recommended daily amount.
