AlgOmega, Holistic Health, 60 capsules.
Omega-3 from algae. An alternative to fish oil.
One capsule provides 500 mg of algal oil, of which 250 mg is DHA.
Vegan, also suitable for children, pregnant women, nursing mothers, vegans and people with fish allergies.
AlgOmega is not cheap, we admit. But Whole Health says that ONE capsule/day is enough, which makes the cost more reasonable. It’s also relatively rich in DHA (50%), so you get a lot of omega-3 per capsule.
Benefits of AlgOmega3

Small capsule, easy to swallow.
The capsule is soft – and can be punctured to squeeze out the oil, for example for children.
The microbe Schizochytrium sp. is grown in closed tanks on land. The cultivation is strictly controlled. The product is therefore always pure and free of contaminants.
Algae are at the bottom of the food chain (it is from algae that fish get their omega-3s in the first place).
