Nature Basics® Algae Oil Omega 3 vegan | 60 capsules highly dosed in a jar | pure unprocessed certified sustainable & CO2 neutral | Per capsule natural 455mg with 30% DHA & 15% EPA | laboratory tested

Three factors determine the quality of a nutritional supplement: purity, potency and efficacy. These algae oil capsules from Nature Basics have all three. Like all the best supplements, they are cruelty free and contain no artificial additives of any kind. That means no flavourings, sweeteners, bulking agents, flow agents, preservatives or other such unnecessary rubbish. Just pure algae oil in a vegan-friendly capsule shell made from natural substances. The capsules are easy to swallow, or if you prefer you can bite into the capsule to burst it, suck out the algae oil, then spit out the empty capsule shell.Omega oils have a host of health benefits. Their positive effects on cardiovascular health are well documented, as are their contributions to the strength and lustre of skin, hair and nails. Omegas contribute to health and well-being in many other ways too. They enhance brain function, nerve function, muscular performance, cell communication, blood circulation, and they play a role in practically every physiological process in the human body. So it makes sense to consume some foods rich in omega oils (organic nuts and seeds, for example) daily and also to take a high-quality omega supplement each day. I've been taking algae oil for a few years. As a source of omegas, it's every bit as good as flax oil. It's far preferable to fish oil - purer, more potent, and cruelty free.There's nothing to criticise about this product. Nature Basics got it right.

Why is omega 3 important for health? The long-chain omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA support the health of the body's cells, brain, heart and eyes. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and to the maintenance of normal vision. In addition, EPA and DHA both contribute to normal heart function.This company, Nature Basics, uses well-tolerated and natural omega-3 algae oil. These vegan omega-3 contains the two important omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Algae oil is the only available source of plant-based DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids. This EPA-DHA formula is developed from sustainably sourced algae.These capsules are very large but surprisingly easy to swallow with no aftertaste. There are no chemical or artificial ingredients making these completely natural. The supplements are produced in strictly tested and certified facilities in Germany. There are 60 capsules and it is recommended to take one per day providing 830 mg algae oil, of which 458 mg omega-3 fatty acids per daily dose, of which at least 250 mg are DHA and at least 125 mg EPA. This jar will last around two months and I feel they are good value for money.I love the fact that this omega-3 is obtained from algae and it’s great that a glass jar is used rather than plastic. Also the box is made from grass and Nature Basics plant a tree for every product sold. This company is trying hard to be ecologically responsible... well done! Definitely 5 stars for this product.

Omega 3 can be a little difficult to source from diet alone for vegetarians. Although there are sources in some seed oils, these are in the short-chain fatty acid form alpha-linoleic acid Fish is the richest dietary source of the long chain Eicosapentaenoic Acid (ELA) source. For those who won't consume fish or fish oils algal sources are the solution, and, of course, in a plant cellulose capsule, as here, rather than the more usual gelatine sourceVegetarian sources as here, are inevitably, sadly, much costlier than the ubiquitous cod liver source! We pay more for the kindness of our ethics.

So you pay knocking on £30 for 60 capsules . Are they worth it ? In terms of ease of swallowing , lack of taste ......absolutely. But as someone , who never had a problem with using cod liver/ fish oil tablets why would I pay so much more for these?Call me cheap and tasteless , and by the way you would be nowhere near the first to do so , but I don’t really care how nice the bottle and packaging is , and this product is beautifully packaged. Even if I go for the more expensive fishy options around I would be paying half the price that these are. I understand if you have a problem with the pescatarian option these are an attractive and viable option , but you have to be fully committed to a more planet friendly product to pay the money being asked for these , and most people will not be able to afford such a luxury.It’s a shame as I really like the product but once the Vine sample runs out I will resort back to my old fish oil . Price this the same or maybe a wee bit more and I may well be tempted to keep with this. The costs involved in producing this product maybe prohibitive to this but it would be nice to see it come down in price if at all possible because it is a really good planet friendly product.
