Your Questions Answered About Vegan Omega-3 Liquid Supplements

I'm looking for omega 3 that will be truly tasteless. My son is extremely sensitive to flavour. Can you confirm that your no added flavour omega 3 is tasteless? Hi, the Algal Omega-3 itself has a 'marine' flavour in its own right, and the extra virgin Olive Oil has also a characteristic taste. So although this formula doesn't have any added flavour, we couldn't describe it as completely tasteless. The Omega-3 capsules might be the better way to go, depending on the age of your son and if he is ok taking capsules.

How much of Vegetologys active components remain alive/not oxidised long enough in the body to fully build into cells and activate their goals, to work as antioxidants and anti inflammatory compounds and help building new transport proteins. Are you happy to send me some info that could help me understand the process you use to keep the active ingredients in the bottle? Hi, we place huge emphasis on the oxidative stability of our Omega-3 formulas. This is during the production process, in the bottle, and with ingestion. We do it through careful control during production to shield the Algal Oil from exposure to oxygen and utilise natural antioxidants to retain the oxidative stability. We have rigorously testing the stability through and beyond the shelf-life and demonstrate excellent results.We focus on Omega-3. The product you referred to in your message to us appears to be an Omega-3-6-9 product. Our research has shown the body obtains sufficient Omega-6 and Omega-9 through the diet (usually too much), so we don't see the need for these items in a supplement. Boosting Omega-3 is our aim, which automatically improves the body's Omega-3 : Omega-6 ratio.

Could you please confirm if your quality assurance and third-party testing also include PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and forever chemicals) screening for the algae-based Omega-3 ingredients? I am specifically concerned about potential contamination with these substances. Has your water source been put through reverse osmosis and carbon filters before being used to grow the algae? The standard for removing these chemicals from the water. And do you have any testing for the water source? Hi, we test for all such impurities and toxins (including PFAs, Dioxins etc.). The algae are grown in tanks rather than taken from the sea, so there is complete control over purity. Therefore due to complete control over what goes in, there can be complete confidence in the purity of what comes out. The water media is of the highest purity and is very carefully balanced to allow the microalgae to grow correctly. The facility is Pharma-quality, so the water is fully tested and monitored.

I have a few questions about Vegetology’s DHA-EPA supplements. Could you please tell me the positions of DHA and EPA on the glycerol and the corresponding proportions of these positions? Also, could you specify the fats in the other positions and whether the stereospecificities are obtained from postprocessing or directly from the algal ‘fermentation’. Thank you. Hi, EPA is distributed across all positions whereas DHA prefers the SN-2 position. The only other fat is Omega-3 EPA as DPA (Docosapentaenoic Acid), which is present in a small amount compared to EPA and DHA. The composition and positioning is a natural result of the microalgal growth.

Does this omega 3 has Carrageenan? Hi, our Omega-3 liquid formulas do not contain Carrageenan, but our Omega-3 Capsules do contain a small amount as part of the capsule shell. There is nothing wrong with Carrageenan though, we have a few FAQs about this, as it wrongly gets linked with irrelevant data. It is perfectly safe.

I'm sensitive to high arginine, so I need to look for products with a good lysine-to-arginine ratio where possible as I'm prone to recurrent shingles, which can be triggered by arginine. Can you please advise what the arginine situation is with your Omega 3 product? Hi, there is no arginine in our Omega-3 formulas

Is this as good for skin elasticity as salmon/krill oil? Hi, yes because the forms of Omega-3 are identical: Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA), Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). Fish obtain these Omega-3s through a diet of algae. We just cut out the "middle fish" and go straight to the algae, so the output is the same but without killing fill/crustaceans and with a much purer product.

Hello I wanted to know at how much the totox is for this product. Thank you. The TOTOX specification for the Algal Omega-3 Oil is 26 but our results have never exceeded 7.

Hi, I purchase the omega 3 algae supplements you sell and was wondering if the sunflower seed oil in them is cold pressed or is it in its refined form? Thanks, -Izzy Hi, it is cold processed high Oleic Sunflower Oil. This is used as an important carrier within the production process for the Microalgal Omega-3 Oil, so the level in the final supplement is incredibly low.

It's supposed to be unflavoured but tastes like oranges. Why? It ruins my Protein Works shakes. Hi, we have a flavoured version (with natural orange oil) and an unflavoured version. The latter tastes like olive oil with the 'marine' nature of the omega-3 oil.

Do you feed your algae any yeast or gluten containing ingredients? Also, is there any gluten containing ingredient used in the manufacturing process? Hi, no we don't use gluten within any feedstock nor in any ingredients used in the manufacturing process.

What kind of treated water is used in the tanks? Is it potable city water? What is a basic micronutrient in your case? Hi, the water is potable but purified to ensure the correct purity and composition. The micronutrient is glucose from basic plant sources.

Does this product contain palm oil? Hi, no we do not use Palm Oil ingredients in our products.

What's your source of Vitamin C & E? And why are they needed alongside everything else? Hi Vitamins C & E are important antioxidants, present to help protect the Microalgal Omega-3 Oil from oxidative damage during its production process. The levels are low as this is their sole purpose. The Vitamin E is from sunflower oil and the Vitamin C is made with Palmitic Acid from plant sources (Canola or similar plant oils).

Hi We use this product. We have kept the unopened bottles in a closet where it is dark but not particularly cold. Whats worst case in using it anyway? Hi, as long as the product remains within shelf-life and has been unopened, it will be absolutely fine. We recommend storage in the Fridge once opened. The worst case is the oil oxidises, but if it has been stored suitably and remains in-date, it will be fine.

I've read articles stating omega 3 supplements can raise cholesterol levels, both LDL and HDL. Is this the case with your omega 3 supplement and/or have there been any studies with your omega 3 supplement specifically regarding cholesterol? Hi, Omega-3 supplements have been shown to lower blood triglyceride levels and blood pressure. Some studies have shown a slight increase in both LDL and HDL Cholesterol. This applies to all Omega-3 supplements including ours.

Are your liquid omega 3 formulas safe during pregnancy? In particular as they contain Rosemary extract? Hi, yes our Omega-3 formulas are very beneficial to Mum (and Baby) during pregnancy.

Are your omega 3 liquids safe to take during pregnancy? Can they be used as a support for pregnancy development? Hi, yes our Omega-3 formulas are very beneficial to Mum (and Baby) during pregnancy.

Is the olive oil in this product solely extra virgin or is it a blend of extra virgin and regular (chemical/heat extraction) olive oils? Hi, we use solely extra virgin Olive Oil in our Omega-3 Liquid. This is essential to provide the required antioxidant properties to protect the Algal Omega-3 Oil from oxidative damage.

Hello, Is this omega 3 from a natural source? Why in the ingredients are they listed as different acids? I don’t see that name from other companies (Docosahexaenoic acid), etc..? Also, are the omega 3 products 3rd party tested for heavy metals, etc..? Thanks! Hi, our Omega-3 oil is from the microalga species Schizochytrium, so is 100% natural. Omega-3s are fatty acids. Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) are the two primary essential fatty acids that make up our Omega-3 Oil. DHA and EPA are the forms the body needs and can absorb. The microalgae are grown in tanks rather than taken from the sea, so purity is guaranteed and heavy metals are not a risk, but we do still test every batch at third party accredited laboratories for compliance.

I currently take the omega 3s in capsule form but was wondering if you recommend taking above the recommended serving size if I wanted a larger dose of EPA + DHA (it's obviously harder to get this from plant sources alone)? Hi, it is fine to take higher doses if desired (even 6-8 capsules per day) but our 2 x capsules (500mg DHA, 300mg EPA) recommendation is already a high and beneficial dose.

Re. Omega-3 - Can you confirm this is only high oleic oil and advise the percentage of the consumed oil which is in the bottle or per serving. To confirm there is no standard sunflower oil. Is the high oleic oil extraction via a heated or pressed process? Hi, yes we use high Oleic Sunflower Oil. It is a tiny amount and is used solely as a process aid during preparation of the Algal Omega-3 Oil. The level in our Omega-3 formula is very small, equating to approximately 20mg per serving.

Do your omega 3 supplements when consumed in liquid form taste fishy or have a fishy taste? Hi, our Omega-3 Oil has a slight 'marine' taste, but certainly not as pungent as fish. There is very little aftertaste or fishy repeats, due to the high purity.

Noticed that you add olive oil to your vegan omega 3 EPA DHA liquid supplements. Many commercially sold olive oils contain phthalates. Have you guys third party tested your vegan omega 3 EPA DHA liquid supplements for phthalates? Hi, yes we test for purity and to ensure no presence of items including Phthalates. We include a small amount of Extra Virgin Olive Oil as a very important component to ensure oxidative stability of the Omega-3 Algal Oil.

Hello, please may I ask which is best for maximum absorbency and efficiency, the omega liquid or tablets, thank you. Hi, there is no difference in absorption rate between our Omega-3 Liquid and Omega-3 Capsules. Both have the Omega-3 Algal Oil in liquid form, readily bioavailable. If you have no problem taking capsules, we always recommend that as the ideal option, because the capsules better protect the Omega-3 oil over time, so the shelf-life (once opened) is longer.

Do you know why different websites which sell this product state a different posology when it comes to which dose is recommended for babies and infants? Some websites state the same dosage you wrote, some others recommend an even lower dosage for children younger than 3 years. Hi, Omega-3 recommended doses differ regionally according to different authorities but most are advisory rather than strict guidelines. We base our recommendations on available data and with advice from our local authorities here in UK.

Been reading with interest your article on getting DHA thro micro algae. Thank you! A couple of friends have respectively started to eat meat and fish only after decades of being vegetarian and vegan, for these exact reasons.Which varieties of micro algae do you suggest and is it possible to grow at home easily? Hi, we use Schizochytrium species of microalgae. It is not possible to grow this at home and obtain Omega-3, as the growing conditions are essential. Our Omega-3 products provide all of the EPA & DHA required without the need for meat or fish.

You write on your website that your products are third party tested, which is good. Is it possible for you to share the latest test results of your Vegan Omega-3 liquid and capsule products which shows exact amount of pollutants and toxins in your products? I would be very grateful if you could share the test results so that I can decide whether to give it to my children or not. Hi, there are no pollutants or toxins in our Omega-3 oil. The microalgae are grown in tanks at a Pharma-quality facility to allow complete control over purity. This is as opposed to taking microalgae from the oceans and risking contaminants such as heavy metals and dioxins. Plus we don't upset the local aquatic ecosystems.

I have 14 year old child with ADHD - what’s the maximum dose of your vegan omega can I give him? Thanks in advance Hi, our recommendation for your Child is 2 x capsules per day. In Europe the set maximum recommended level for Omega-3 (combined DHA & EPA) is 5000mg. That would be the equivalent of approximately 10 capsules. We hope our formula helps and would love to hear your feedback.

I am in search of omega 3 vegan that is not rancid which is actually hard to find!What steps do you take to help with rancidity of this supplement Hi, our Omega-3 formulas are produced under very careful conditions to ensure oxidative stability, and also contain natural antioxidants. We rigorously stability test to ensure stability throughout and beyond the stated shelf-life.

I have been consuming your Omega3 for many years, I would like to know if they contain erucic acid and if so in what quantity. What is the maximum daily amount considered safe for erucic acid? Thank you Hi, no our Omega-3 formulas do not contain any Erucic Acid.

I was reading through the questions listed on your website but didn't see the answer to something on my mind. I was wondering where your water is sourced from for growing the algae. I am asking because another company/manufacturer said they are sustainable because they use wastewater from a geothermal plant. And another one from underground salt aquifers but looking into it I got concerns for water quality and some areas in those states had contamination issues from military and other sources. I know you haven't written that you do that, but it got me to thinking that depending on water source, even if not ocean, it could have contaminantes. I have read you do heavy metal testing but could you please share your water source, and whether there could there be also radioactive materials also (and if that is tested). Some areas have that issue due to where they are located. Hi, the water is from the local supply but goes through a deionising and purification process to ensure it is of high purity and with no contaminants. The European location is not at risk of radioactive material.

Hi, I've noticed that someone has already asked questions regarding what I wish to know, but I'd like a little further detail please. You answered that the olive oil is virgin oil, does that mean EVOO? Also is it cold pressed soley by mechanical means? I ask as someone with numerous health problems, who is really trying to improve through my diet as well as my consultants; as it's said industrial produced oils are damaging to the artery lining I want to avoid that. Secondly, I'd just like to clarify that the VitaminE dose is so low that that is why it isn't accounted for in the NV? Thankyou, with regards, Gail. Hi, yes our Omega-3 Liquid formulas use Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This is vital for the stability of our Omega-3 oil. Also, correct, Vitamin E is solely present to help protect the Algal Omega-3 Oil against oxidative damage during the production process. The level of Vitamin E (which is from Sunflower) is not nutritionally relevant.

Does it contain vitamin A? And can it be safely used in pregnancy? Hi, our Omega-3 formulas are safe for use during pregnancy and very beneficial to Mum and Baby. They do not contain any Vitamin A.

Do you use virgine Olive Oil? Hi, yes we do. The quality and purity of the oil is essential for stabilising our product.

Hi, I noticed that your ingredients mentioned microalgae, can I ask which ones are used please? I've commonly seen Schizochytrium used, is this what you use? Many thanks Becky Hi, yes we species we use fall within the Schizochytrium family.

Is this product packaged in plastic or glass? Thank you! Hi, our Omega-3 liquids are in glass to adequately protect the oil from oxidative damage.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am considering purchasing your Opti-3® Liquid (No Added Flavour) - Omega-3 EPA & DHA. Can you please clarify exactly what makes up the listed ingredients of ‘Tocopherols’, ‘Rosemary Extract’ and ‘Ascorbyl Palmitate’ — I have multiple allergies and intolerances, so I need to know every single constituent of each ingredient to feel happy to buy them. For example, if it’s a variety of oils that you use or may use for certain ingredients please let me know any that it could be. Hi, 'Tocopherols' is natural Vitamin E extracted from Sunflower Seeds. Rosemary extract is a selective extract of the antioxidants in Rosemary. Ascorbyl Palmitate is an oil-based Vitamin C (it is Ascorbic Acid coupled with Palmitic Acid of canola origin, which makes the Ascorbic Acid oil-soluble). The combination of Tocopherols, Rosemary Extract and Ascorbyl Palmitate are used in very small quantities to provide protection against oxidation during production. They offer no nutritional value due to the small quantities used.

Can you add the Omega-3 liquid to home made bread during the baking process? I appreciate this would make accurate dosage difficult but it would boost Omega-3 intake for all the family in a convenient way Hi, Omega-3s are not particularly heat stable, so our recommendation would be to consider addition after the baking process. Perhaps add it together with any spread or preserve that you intend to add prior to eating?

Hi! I can’t seem to find anything about how long the omega liquid lasts in the fridge. Do i need to throw it out after a month? Hi, the shelf-life is 24 months. Once opened and stored in the Fridge, we recommend the contents are consumed within 8 weeks (12 weeks as an absolute maximum).

Dear Sir/Madam Is the Omega 3 oil high in pro resolving mediators? I heard that Algae is higher in PRMs over Fish oil. Any knowledge you can share on the subject is most welcome. Thank you Hi, its a very good question (thank you!). Our Algal Omega-3 is naturally high in pro-resolving mediators (SPM), and upregulate SPM production in the body. We haven't to date concluded that Algal Omega-3 is better than Fish Oil Omega-3 in this regard, but would certainly be on a par. It is something we will look at in more detail though!

Hello, are any of your supplements independently tested for quality and quantity? Thanks Hi, yes all of our products are manufactured at quality accredited manufacturing sites and independently tested. We produce everything in UK under strict quality requirements of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and related regulatory bodies.

Hi, I've just seen on a vegan dog website that your omega 3 is safe to give to dogs, just wanted to check this is correct as I have to older dogs (both vegan) and my vet has recommended I give omega 3 supplement for their joints. Many thanks. Hi, yes our Omega-3 products are really good for dogs. We always think the liquid form is ideal for pets (we recommend half teaspoon / 2.5ml for small dogs, full teaspoon / 5ml for large dogs). However, we also get lots of customers telling us that their dogs love to munch on the capsules too! In that case we recommend 1 capsule for small dogs, 2 capsules for large dogs.

How do you recommend storing sealed bottles of Omega-3 liquid? Would the fridge be ideal? I'm not sure how warm my cupboards get in the summer. Thanks Hi, storing Omega-3 Liquid in the Refrigerator is ideal, both unopened and opened. This will prolong the freshness. You might find the liquid goes a bit cloudy after long periods of storage at very low temperature, but this is just some of the fatty acids solidifying. It's totally fine and if you allow the liquid to warm back to ambient temperature and give it a little shake, it will go fully clear again.

Hi! I used to take your omega-3 capsules, but read online that the liquid form could "be better" than capsules (although i wouldn't know why – do you agree with this?). Regardless, I was wondering how to store the liquid product in hot weather! I'm assuming it could solidify in the fridge, but my home gets somewhat hot in the summer (like, say, 28°C), and I don't know if it could affect the algae oil negatively! What do you think? Should I just stick to capsules? Hi, there is no difference in efficacy between the Capsules or the Liquid forms. If you are ok taking capsules, we recommend this as the best option because the Algal Omega-3 is better protected and therefore lasts longer. If you opt for the Liquid, please keep it refrigerated. At around 4°C, it will remain clear. Below that temperature some of the fatty acids will start to solidify and it might look a bit cloudy or lumpy. It is totally fine though, and can be left at ambient temperature for a short time to melt and regain its clarity.

Hello! I've been using your products for over a year now, and I'm very happy with them! I used to purchase the omega-3 capsules, but would like to try it in liquid form. Unfortunately, money is tight lately and I already take your multivitamin, and occasionally the b12 and vollagen, too (occasionally because I can't afford to take them daily). I was considering taking the omega-3 every other day to save up – would you think I could get similar benefits regardless? Do you need a certain dosage to 'activate' the omega-3? I was thinking of either having half a teaspoon daily or a teaspoon every other day, is one of these alternatives better than the other? Thank you in advance for your kindness and support :) hope you spent a peaceful labour day. Hi, thank you for the kind words. Its worth getting in touch with our Customer Services team ([email protected]) in case there is anything they can do for you. It is fine to take Omega-3 every other day. The benefits are proportionate to dose, so you will just get slightly less performance but half dose (or every other day) is still a good level.

Hi, Are some of your ingredients sourced in countries such as China or India? And do you rigorously test them to check if they contain any contaminants? I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Stijn Hi, we source our ingredients from/in Europe. Yes of course, we test everything and have very stringent quality specifications for everything. The manufacturing sites we use operate to very high quality standards that are independently audited.

How much omega-6 does you're product have in liquid form bottles. 1 serving of 5ml Hi, we use extra virgin Olive Oil as the carrier (and to help provide oxidative stability). This contributes a small amount of Omega-6, which equates to just under 0.3ml per 5ml serving

What would be best to take after a flare up of Diverticulitis pls Hi, Omega-3s offer good anti-inflammation benefits, however please consult your Doctor before taking any supplements if you encounter Diverticulitis flare-ups, so they can advise based on your individual medical history and in consideration of any medication you are taking.

Is Omega 3 Liquid - suitable for Vegan and is it free from carrageenan? Hi, yes all of our products are suitable for Vegans. Our Omega-3 Liquid is free from carrageenan (not that there is anything wrong with Carrageenan - we use it in our Capsules. It sometimes wrongly gets linked with data on relevant to Polygeenan).

Hi, does this come with some kind of pipette or something to measure and know lm getting 3ml and no more/ less? Thank you Hi, no we don't include a pipette. Our recommended dose is 1 x teaspoon (5ml) for 500mg DHA, 300mg EPA.

Just wondering which specific algae strain you grow and use for production Hi, our Omega-3 products use Schizochytrium sp. algae

Hi, I have your liquid omega 3. Before I had with orange flavour. This time I have without flavour. It does not smell really good and taste is Alsow not really good. I store it in fridge. Is it possible it is rancid? Experation is in 2024. I openedit Before 2 weeks. It is for my 1 year Old son. Smell and taste is little bit Fishy i Guess. Is it safe for my son? He Head it few times. Is there Any healthy risk if oil was rancid? Thank you! Hi, Omega-3 does have a 'marine' note, which is the reason we offer a product containing a little bit of Orange Flavour to mask it. The unflavoured oil is preferred by many, but does have a more noticeable taste. As long as the product has been stored correctly, it will be absolutely fine to take. It will only go rancid if stored incorrectly or not consumed within 8-10 weeks of opening. If that time period has passed, please do not continue to use the product.

Does the Omega-3 liquid come in a glass bottle? Hi, yes it is in a brown glass bottle.

Hi, do your omega 3 products contain sulphites or other kind of preservatives? Thank you. Hi, no the products don't contain sulphites. We don't need to add any preservatives because the products are water-free.

Hello, this time I bought this product as a solution, but I noticed that it is quite difficult to take it like this. This tastes pretty good.... Can I put this in capsules and then take it? My capsules are made from Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. Hi, we offer Omega-3 Capsule form, which is ideal if you are seeking a capsule format instead of the Botted Liquid.

Please, what is the exact amount of iodine in your product? I want to order the product, but for health reasons I am not allowed to take iodine. Hi, our Omega-3 products do not contain any Iodine.

Hi. You only list the EPA/DHA/DPA content, but there are surely other fatty acids in your products as you have both sunflower oil and olive oil, which means there must be some Omega 6 and 9 as well and I would like to know the amounts of those oils. Hi, in the Omega-3 Liquid, we use extra virgin Olive Oil. That constitutes approximately 60% of the formula, as it is required to stabilise the Omega-3 Algal Oil. Olive Oil is approximately 83% Oleic Acid, 20% Linoleic Acid and smaller amounts of other fatty acids. Olive Oil isn't present in our Omega-3 capsules as it is not required. High Oleic Sunflower Oil is used within the production of the Algal Omega-3 Oil as an important carrier, but the level is negligible.

Hi, I've been taking your opti3 cápsules for some time, I usually buy 1 year supply on one purchase, how can I be sure the oil is not getting rancid? Hi, we have conducted extensive stability testing of the Capsules to demonstrate stability for at least the 24 month shelf life. An important marker for our testing is the oxidative stability of the oil.

My 10yo daughter is very fussy with strong flavored supplements and we have wasted 2 (expensive) bottles of fish oil (one with fruity flavor) because she refused to take it. Is there anything you can compare the algae flavor to? She does like nori!! Hi, Algal Oil has a 'marine' taste and the Orange Oil we add is only to take the edge off the taste, rather than add much flavour. One option is to add the oil to food or stir it into a sauce or yoghurt for instance.

Hi there, is this supplement suitable for giving to dogs, and if so can you advise on the dosage per KG of body weight? Thank you Hi, yes we have many customers giving our Omega-3 Capsules and Liquids to Dogs. In terms of daily dose, our advice is to give 1 x capsule (or 2.5ml / half tea spoon) to small dogs and 2 x capsules (or 5ml / full tea spoon) to larger dogs.

Hallo, comes your Omega-3 Liquid from an omega-safe-production (production under exclusion from light, oxygen and heat)? Thank you, best, Nicola Hi, yes our Omega-3 Liquid is produced in closed conditions to preserve the oxidative stability of the Algal Omega-3 Oil.

From which country do you source the microalgae? Hi, we produce everything, including our Omega-3 products, in UK.

Hi, I'm wondering how I can tell if the omega 3 oil has gone off or rancid and if it's still safe to consume. I have an open bottle that I want to resume taking and have noticed the algal flavour to be a bit more pungent than a newly opened bottle. Thank you. Hi, we recommend consuming opened Liquid within 8 weeks. If stored correctly in a cool, dry location (or ideally in the Refrigerator), our stability studies show the Omega-3 Oil remains stable within this time period. It's actually around 12 weeks, but we say 8 weeks to give a bit of a margin. The Algal taste will develop during that 8 weeks, however the Omega-3 stability remain intact and rancidity (Peroxide value / Totox) remain low during the period.

Are your Omega-3 products stored and shipped in cold conditions? Would a typical summer shipping truck (75º-105º) destroy, or make rancid, the EPA/DHA in the Vegetology liquids? Hi, we have extensively stability tested our Omega-3 products to ensure they stand-up to elevated (and low) temperature climates. The most important factor is to ensure that once opened, they are stored in a cool, dry location. In the case of the Omega-3 Liquid, we recommend storage in the Refrigerator to prolong freshness.

Why use Olive Oil as a base when Olive is so high in Omega 6? Would it not be wiser (and better aligned with an Omega 3 product) to use cold pressed Flax Oil as a base? Also Why do you not list the Omega 6 levels? Hi, we need extra virgin Olive Oil to retain the oxidative stability of the Omega-3 Oil. Flax etc. would be detrimental to stability unfortunately. The specific type and amount of Olive Oil is low enough that the Omega-6 level isn't significant.If you do want to avoid Olive Oil, our Omega-3 capsules do not contain any.

Due to a health condition I have, it's important to know the exact amount of Vitamin E I'm taking in addition to my normal diet. Would it be possible to let me know, please, despite how little this amount is? Thank you in advance, Nataliya Hi, a 5ml dose of our Omega-3 liquid contains less than 0.5mg Vitamin E (D Alpha Tocopherol).

Is it suitable for children under 12 and in what dosage? Hi, yes it is perfect for children. We recommend 2.5ml (half teaspoon) for children up to 24-36 months and 5ml (full teaspoon) beyond that age.

Does it contain Vitamin E and how much? Hi, there is a small amount of Natural Vitamin E added during the production of the Algal Omega-3 Oil. This is solely to help protect the oil against oxidation but it is not at a level to offer nutritional significance.

right now I'm taking a strong dose of omega 3 from another brand . I'd like to change to Vegetology . What is the maximum dosage I can take to really feel the effect and relief of mood swings? thanks for your answer Hi, we recommend 2 x capsules (or 5ml of the liquid) per day to obtain a dose of 500mg DHA, 300mg EPA. That is a high dose and very beneficial. There may be additional benefits in considering a higher dose but please do consult your Doctor as they can provide advice based on your individual medical history.

I'd like to know why there is even a little porcentage of high oleic sunflower oil, when it's pro-oxidation. It's reducing the effect of the omega 3 as far as I know.... Thank you Hi, a very small amount of high Oleic Sunflower Oil is required during the Microalgal oil production process. It is a tiny level and not pro-oxidant.

Why does your omega 3 contain sunflower oil, please, and why do you take the unusual step of using the little known latin name Helianthus Annuus in the ingredients? Hi, there's a small amount of high Oleic Sunflower Seed Oil extract used as a process aid in the production of the Microalgal Omega-3 preparation. Helianthus Annuus is the correct description for it.

Has the Omega 3 liquid been third party lab tested for metals and contaminants? Hi, yes we test each batch at independent laboratories. However heavy metals are not risk items as our algae are grown in tanks and not taken from the oceans (so purity is completely controlled and no heavy metal contamination risk).

Bonjour, Ma fille est allergique au soja. Elle a déjà réagi à de la vitamine E issue du soja. Pouvez-vous m'indiquer l'origine de la vitamine E que vous rajoutez dans les omega3 liquide ? Merci beaucoup ! Cordialement, Ghita Baouz Bonjour, Nous utilisons la vitamine E de l'huile de tournesol au lieu du soja pour cette raison.

Hi, is there a better time of day to take Omega 3 liquid, and should you take it with food, or doesn't it matter? Thanks Hi it is beneficial throughout the day but we always recommend taking Omega-3 at breakfast time. The impact on concentration levels in particular can be very noticeable! Yes, please always take all supplements with food for optimum absorption.

Dobrý den, prosím, o jakou mikrořasu (jaký rod) se přesně jedná? Děkuji velmi Hi, it is a Schizochytrium sp. alga.

I was just wondering if palm oil is used in your products? I see ascorbyl palmitate is one of the ingredients and from what I've read this is always Palm oil derived. Is that the case with yours? Hi, no we don't use any Palm Oil at all. Ascorbyl Palmitate is oily Vitamin C produced using Palmitic Acid, which comes from oils such as Sunflower and Rapeseed. People do often assume Palmitate means Palm Oil, but the name isn't connected.

Hi I am wondering if your vegan omega 3, 300 EPA 5OO DHA supplement is cold pressed. And if not, what is the extraction method? Hi, we use an enzyme extraction method. Cold pressing isn't possible because the microalgae are too small

My liquid seems to have separated. I have shaken the bottle but when I pour it, it’s like a complete different look and taste to the last bottle that I used. I had bought 3 bottles in a deal and the first bottle was fine but the next two look like frog spawn and taste terrible. Is this normal? Hi, it sounds like the contents have got cold which causes some of the fatty acids to solidify. If you allow the product to warm to ambient temperature, it will become clear and uniform again.

Sans saveur ça veut dire que ça sent les algues ? Ou ça ne sent rien? Bonjour, il a principalement un goût et une odeur d'huile d'olive mais il y a une légère odeur et un goût marin. Hi, it mainly tastes and smells of Olive Oil but there is a slight marine odour and taste.

¿Habran diferencias significativas en cuanto a la absorción comparado con opti3? Esta versión no contiene carragenina, punto a favor! Hola, la absorción entre Omega-3 Capsules y Omega-3 Liquid es la misma. Para ser honesto, no hay preocupaciones sobre la carragenina, a veces se conecta incorrectamente con datos relevantes para la 'poligeenina' (un derivado degradado de la carragenina que nunca se usa en los alimentos). Utilizamos una pequeña cantidad de carragenina, que es una goma natural, para ayudar a formar la cápsula. Es perfectamente seguro e inerte.

There are no concerns about carrageenan to be honest, it is sometimes wrongly connected to data on relevant to 'poligeenan' (a degraded derivative of carrageenan never used in foods).

Hi there! with "flavourless" you mean no flavour at all, or just not the orange flavour like the other opti-3 you offer? does this one have the typical algae-odour/flavour like the one in the capsules? thank you for your reply. Hi, yes we mean no flavour has been added. It does have the typical algae odour/flavour (a somewhat acquired taste!). The Olive Oil does help to take the edge off the Algal flavour versus the oil in the capsules.
