Omega 3 fatty acids are an important part of a balanced diet. For people who follow a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, getting enough of the long-chain omega 3 fats EPA and DHA can require extra attention, as these are most commonly found in fish. Vegetology Vegan Omega 3 offers a plant-based alternative made from algae. In this article, we take a closer look at the product, its ingredients, and what it may offer: 
What is Vegetology Vegan Omega 3?
Vegetology 1×3 Omega 3 EPA & DHA is a vegan omega 3 supplement derived from microalgae. Algae are the original source of omega 3 in the marine food chain; fish obtain EPA and DHA by consuming algae. This supplement removes fish from that chain and uses algae grown in controlled, non-marine facilities.
The product is certified vegan and vegetarian and also includes a small amount of plant-based vitamin D3 (Vitashine®).
Ingredients and dosage
According to the manufacturer, a daily serving of two capsules provides:
- EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid): 300 mg
- DHA (docosahexaenoic acid): 500 mg
- Total omega 3 fatty acids: 835 mg
- Vitamin D3 (plant-based): 5 mcg (200 IU)
Vegetology states that each batch is tested to ensure it meets at least these minimum levels of EPA and DHA. While independent public lab results are limited, this type of batch testing is standard practice within the supplement industry.
How to use
The omega 3 oil is supplied in softgel capsules. The recommended intake is one to two capsules per day, taken with food. Taking the capsules with a meal may help with absorption. For those who prefer not to swallow capsules, the softgel can be pierced and the oil consumed directly or mixed into food. More details on usage can be found on the official product page.
Vegan suitability and production
This supplement is designed for people who do not consume fish or fish oil. Because the omega 3 is sourced from algae, it avoids the environmental impact associated with fishing and fish oil production. According to the manufacturer of Vegetology Vegan Omega 3, the product is hexane-free and produced to pharmaceutical-grade standards.
The capsules do not contain gluten, dairy, sugar, or wheat, making them suitable for individuals with common dietary restrictions.
Price and availability
The supplement is sold in bottles containing 60 capsules, with multi-pack offers sometimes available. Current pricing and availability can be checked via Unlimited Health. Compared to standard fish oil supplements, algae-based omega 3 products are generally more expensive, largely due to the production process and vegan certification.

Vegetology Vegan Omega 3 EPA & DHA is a clearly positioned plant-based omega 3 supplement intended for vegans and vegetarians. It provides a defined amount of EPA and DHA sourced from algae and avoids the use of fish or fish by-products.

As with any supplement, individual needs can vary. Products like Vegetology Vegan Omega 3 may be useful for those who want to supplement their omega 3 intake without consuming fish, but they should be used as part of a balanced diet.
