Omvits Omega 3 from algae is the UK’s national bestseller in vegan options, and ideal for vegans or anyone with fish allergies. With a high emphasis placed on conservation, the oil is sourced from sustainably farmed algae, and it includes added Vitamin E to prevent oxidation and keep the oil fresh.

However, the EPA content is so low that it isn’t listed on the label. This means you will get the DHA benefits for brain and eyes but none of the triglyceride lowering heart health benefits you would get from the EPA in fish oil, nor the inflammation reduction or neurotransmitter support that’s thought to be the reason Omega 3 supports the mood.

It's a great option for those with dietary restrictions, but we cannot recommend it for others or for anyone seeking to support heart health. Algal oil does not have the superior nutritional profile of genuine fish oil which delivers heart health benefits of EPA.
