Most Omega-3 supplements are made from unsustainable fish oil, killing as many as 50 fish per bottle and transferring toxins from the oceans into each capsule - but the Omega-3 actually comes from the animal's diet of algae, not the fish itself. So, we've skipped the middle-fish and created a safer, more sustainable alternative from microalgae, grown in tanks at a specialist manufacturing facility.
Did you know?
The Omega-3 found in fish actually comes from their diet of algae, not the fish itself. Our Omega-3 contains EPA and DHA, the correct forms of omega-3 for the body to absorb and use, and the exact same forms found in fish. It's actually higher strength than most fish-based supplements!

Frequently Asked Questions
The algae are grown in tanks at a Pharmaceutical-quality facility, rather than taken from the ocean. This is to ensure the highest possible purity. No additional chemicals are required.
It is in Triglyceride form. The key aspect is that we grow our Microalgae in controlled conditions at a Pharmaceutical-quality specialist facility. Unlike seawater where contamination and heavy metal issues arise, we are able to control absolutely everything and therefore guarantee the complete purity of our product.
Yes we are based in UK and operate under the jurisdiction of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the UK's Food Standards Agency (FSA) plus local authority regulations. As such, we have to test everything independently and indeed our products are subject to random testing by authorities.
We use Schizochytrium sp. algae.
We use D-Alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E) extracted from Sunflower Oil. It is a small amount, approximately 0.1%, solely to provide antioxidant protection for the Omega-3 Oil. It isn't at a level of nutritional significance.
We use an enzyme extraction method. Cold pressing isn't possible because the microalgae are too small.
We use a small amount of Carrageenan to help form the capsule. It is perfectly safe and not something to avoid. It wrongs gets linked with data only relevant to 'polygeenan', which is a degraded derivative not used in food, or with data wrongly extrapolated from animals at irrelevant doses. We wouldn't dream of using any compounds unless we were 100% confident in their safety and suitability.
No Omega-3 doesn’t contain any iodine.
Suitable for all ages, including pregnant women, children and infants.
Suitable for vegetarians, vegans and individuals with fish and seafood allergies.
So, how much Omega‑3 a day? For best results take 2 capsules per day with food and a glass of water.
Can be taken at the same time or as a divided dose. For individuals unable to consume capsules, and for babies and young children, the capsules can be pierced and the oil contents consumed directly or added to food.
From 24 months and upwards we recommend the full dose of 2 x capsules per day. We do offer Omega‑3 Liquid too, where a teaspoon provides the same dose as 2 x capsules.
