Product information

Reviews
Omega 3 from fish is the familiar route, but not the only one. This gummy takes EPA and DHA straight from algae, the original source where fish get it from too. Handy if you do not eat fish but do want to top up your omega 3. A plant-based gummy from the British brand Vegums, without fish oil and without a fishy taste.

What are EPA and DHA?

EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are long-chain omega 3 fatty acids. They differ from the shorter ALA found in flaxseed, walnuts and chia seed. Your body can convert ALA into EPA and DHA only to a limited extent (often around 5 to 10%), so for anyone who does not eat fish a direct source through algae oil can be a targeted supplement. The microalga used, Schizochytrium, produces EPA and DHA naturally.

What is in these gummies?

Each gummy contains 60 mg of DHA and 31.5 mg of EPA, or 120 mg of DHA and 63 mg of EPA at the adult daily dose of 2 gummies. That is a light dose compared with fish oil capsules (often 500 to 1000 mg of EPA and DHA per capsule), in keeping with its positioning as a plant-based supplement within a balanced diet. If you are looking for a higher dose, concentrated algae oil or fish oil capsules make more sense; that depends on your preference and any advice from a dietitian.

How do you use it?

  • Children aged 3 to 12: 1 gummy per day
  • Children from 12 years and adults: 2 gummies per day
You can chew the gummies calmly or let them dissolve in your mouth, preferably during or after a meal. Do not exceed the recommended daily amount. A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.
