Our Vegan Omega 3 is made up of 1000mg algae oil which provides 550mg of Omega 3, 300mg EPA and 150mg DHA per serving. The official recommendation for Omega 3 daily consumption is 250mg per day of combined EPA and DHA.  However, algae oil has a higher DHA content which is why our supplement has 300mg DHA and 150mg EPA. 

A registered nutritional therapist may prescribe a higher dose of Omega 3 as a therapeutic dose short term but it is never wise to increase the dosage of any supplements without consulting a doctor.

Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid and the most common animal sources are oily fish such as mackerel, salmon and trout. All fish get their Omega 3 from the algae they eat in the oceans, so hundreds of millions - if not billions - of fish are killed each year around the world for animal-based Omega 3 supplements.

Our Vegan Omega 3 is derived directly from algae, which is not only good for you, it doesn't have a fishy smell or turn rancid as fish-derived Omega 3 can do. And because our vegan Omega 3 spares hundreds of millions of fish being killed, it is better for the environment. Better me. Better planet.

Based on dietary choices, most people should be taking an Omega 3 supplement, given how important Omega 3 is to our brain, heart and vision health, and much more.

There are a number of important considerations when choosing an omega 3 supplement, and one of them is the DHA and EPA content. EPA ('Eicosapentaenoic acid') and DHA ('Docosahexaenoic acid') are the all-important long-chain Omega 3 fatty acids.

There should be a 2:1 ratio of DHA:EPA in an Omega 3 supplement. For example, if it contains 100mg DHA, it should have at least 50mg EPA. Our best-selling vegan Omega 3 is sustainably sourced from algae, without damaging marine ecosystems, and contains 1,000mg of Omega Algae Oil, which provides 300mg DHA and 150mg EPA.

The best dietary sources of Choline are eggs, along with beef, fish and poultry, so it is challenging to gain sufficient levels of Choline on a plant-based diet. Learn more about the benefits of Choline and where to find it in your diet.

There are some good sources of Choline in vegan and plant-based diets including tofu, broccoli, mushrooms, spinach, wheat and even peanut butter. However few sources match the level of Choline in eggs, so Choline is very commonly taken as a supplement by people who follow a vegan diet and those looking to protect and support their brain and liver health.

Yes. Choline is an important nutrient during pregnancy, so it is recommended when pregnant and is also included in our our Pregnancy Multinutrient.

Take your two capsules each day, ideally with food although this isn't essential.

You can take your two capsules together or separately. Taking two capsules a day ensures you’re getting the essential nutrients vital for supporting your brain's performance, energy, and maintaining normal liver function, including transporting fats away from your liver.

Choline is an 'essential nutrient' that plays an important role in normal liver function and fat metabolism. It helps remove cholesterol from your liver and can help prevent conditions such as fatty liver disease. It’s also important for the production of neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) in the body. These play a vital role in brain function, memory, and mood. A deficiency of Choline is linked to liver disease and potential disorders in the brain and nervous system.

While there aren't any EU guidelines for daily intake of Choline, an optimal dose in a Choline supplement is 600mg in bitartrate form.

Choline can help support the brain's neurotransmitters, healthy lipid function, and metabolism for brain function, fat metabolism, and healthy liver function.

As most of the dietary sources of Choline are from animal foods, those following a plant-based or vegan diet may find it more challenging to get adequate Choline from plant sources.
