Dr.Vegan Omega 3 Algae Supplement
You can get omega 3 fatty acids from plant foods, but you would have to be a saintly eater, whizzing up flaxseeds with water each day, or eating the recommended dose of walnuts!
It’s far easier to just take a plant-based omega 3 fatty acid supplement. These get omega 3s from the same place the fish does – algae. This is also cleaner, as the algae is grown in controlled containers, so there is no nasty stuff like mercury.
Don’t worry about omega 6 fatty acids, these are easily got through daily food. For taking a supplement, expect to see benefits in around 6 to 8 weeks.
Dr.Vegan Omega 3 is a quality supplement, the first order is sold in a refillable metal tin, then you just order refills in eco-pouches thereafter. You can buy once, or get a free pill tin, then subscribe for bigger savings.
Ideal for people who don’t eat fish (most omega 3 is destroyed through cooking anyway) or don’t eat lots of nuts or seeds (or simply don’t want fishy burps!), this contains optimal 300mg DHA and 150mg EPA for brain, heart and vision health.
Before taking supplements, check with GP if pregnant/nursing or on medication. Keep them away from young children and pets, and recycle unused supplements at pharmacies.
When to expect improvements
Most people notice the difference within a week. For others, it may take up to 3 months to feel and see effects.
Some people notice slight stomach upset, which often settles when taken with meals or by splitting the dose across the day.
Nothing Fishy Algae Omega 3
We all hear about omega 3 fatty acids, and how they are good for our heart, brain, skin and eyes. And that’s true. But you don’t need fish to eat them (fish is also often contaminated with mercury, and once cooked, the main benefits disappear anyway).
Nothing Fishy (use code ENGNF15 for 15% off first purchase) is a good brand, sold in glass bottles with refill pouches.

I developed eczema inside my ear and tried everything. It was causing severe infections and pain. After hearing the benefits of omega 3, I tried these and in a few weeks, my ears were about 70% better. Over a year later, they are 99% better. Truly life-changing.
My joints are much less ‘creaky’ and seem to ache less.
Vegums Omega 3 Supplements (for adults or children)
Vegums omega-3 supplements are quality supplements (created by pharmacists), of tasty mango chewable supplements sold in cellulose (wood pulp) bags that you just cut and compost, after use (or bin to naturally break down in the bin, without harm).
Ideal for daily health and immunity, they are also gentle on the stomach. Save 20% when you subscribe online for monthly home delivery.
Before taking supplements, check with GP if pregnant/nursing or on medication. Keep them away from young children and pets (these look and taste like sweets), and recycle unused supplements at pharmacies.
The supplements deliver DHA and EHA, essential forms of essential fatty acids, without relying on fish oil (linked to mercury and over-fishing). Instead they use marine algae for:
- Brain health (helps to reduce brain fog!)
- Heart health (good cholesterol & circulation)
- Eye health (clear vision)
Also in a children’s version
Unless you eat a lot of nuts and seeds, you may be deficient in omega 3 fatty acids (once cooked, fish omega 3s are destroyed anyway).
How to take these supplements
Just take 2 gummies daily (or 1 gummy daily for children ages 3 to 12). Ideal for anyone who has ‘wobbly knees or silly brains’ or who doesn’t like fishy aftertastes or burps!
NHS website has good (regularly updated) information for parents of vegan children.
