Nutrition Vegan Omega-3 DHA-EPA, from Micro Algae, Delayed Release, 90 Vegan Capsules, 1-Pack

I found out about the benefits of taking DHA-EPA (long-chain omega-3s) through Dr. Gregor’s website, NutritionFacts.org. In summary, Dr. Gregor recommends taking 250 mg a day to preserve brain function, particularly as we age (based on the results from the Framington study). It may be particularly important for vegans since they don’t eat fish, and fish is a source of DHA-EPA. Apparently though, the reason it is in fish is because the fish eat algae, so it makes sense just to get it from the algae directly if you prefer not to eat fish. Here are the reasons I chose this particular supplement: • It is vegan (including the capsule). • The capsule is made from cellulose (no carrageenan, which I try to avoid because of health concerns). • The algae (from which the DHA-EPA is derived) is grown outside the ocean in clean, controlled water. I have noticed no negative side effects from taking this supplement. The capsules do have a “fishy” sort of smell if you sniff them, but this doesn’t bother me and I have never noticed a fishy taste or fishy burps later. I figure the algae just smells fishy and it’s unavoidable. I’d much rather it be natural than to have some sort of artificial flavor or scent added to try to mask it. Usually those things just make it more unpleasant anyway. It is impossible for me to measure the positive effects of taking this supplement, but I found the information shared by Dr. Gregor very convincing and recommend checking out his website for more information. I plan to take this supplement for as long as I am able to.

I discovered it several years ago and have consistently chosen it for its quality, effectiveness, and because it's vegan!

Oh, and a little tip for you - subscribe and save to two bottles and you get a great deal for your money!

The Amazon description clearly states, "...delayed release vegetarian capsules to make sure there is no aftertaste" but I got a super-fishy smelling bottle of capsules that gave me a fishy aftertaste after one dose. When I contacted the seller regarding this, their email response was fast but strange in that they wanted me to "send us 12 digit barcode of the product (if possible image) which you have received, so that we can solve your issue with out returning the product." Hmmm...OK The next sentence stated that I could still return the package with the included RMA#, but in order to do so, it had to be undamaged/unopened/unused. Geez -- had they not read my email? How did they plan to remedy this since I had already opened the bottle to find out it was not as advertised? My husband said, "It's not good, send it back!" so I supplied them with the UPC# and decided to prepare the bottle for return. A day went by and I received a second email, which basically stated, "...as per the given UPC code the product which you have received is same with the product which you have placed an order with us. As per our return policy we cannot accept the returns for the used/opened products." This email doesn't even make sense! Yes, thank you for telling me I ordered a product from you. Bad taste, bad customer service, bad grammar. Don't buy it. If you're looking for a terrific vegan DHA EPA, on the other hand, get Ovega 3. No smell, no fishy aftertaste, take your chances with the grammar. ;)

While it doesn’t taste like fish it does smell like seaweed. So if you do burp you will taste it 4 hours later. I do like that it’s vegan but that’s the only thing I like about it so far.

Go for it......Pure Vegan......Unleash the Brain Power with DHA +Does not contain carcinogeninc gelatin (replaced by cellulose)..... Product better than fish oil extracts Even Non veg people should go for this product
