Omega 3 fats are essential for health but we can’t make them internally, we have to get them from food and supplements. There is a wide amount of research into omega 3s especially EPA and DHA, highlighting benefits for:

Heart Health: Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to lower blood triglycerides, support healthy blood pressure, and reduce the risk of heart disease [1].
Mental Wellness: EPA and DHA are crucial for brain function, mood balance, and memory. DHA is a key component of cell membranes in the brain, and EPA has anti-inflammatory properties that may protect the brain against damage and ageing [2].
Inflammatory Response: Omega-3 fatty acids modulate inflammation [3] and may help manage chronic inflammatory conditions like eczema, psoriasis, arthritis, colitis, and endometriosis.
Eye Health: DHA is a key structural component of the retina at the back of the eye. Deficiency can lead to vision problems [4].
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: DHA is key for supporting foetal brain and eye development during pregnancy and a baby’s early years [5].

Yes, our vegan Omega 3 supplement is safe to take during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Our vegan omega 3 is suitable for:

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Vegans and vegetarians who want to support their EPA and DHA levels
Those looking to optimise cardiovascular health
Anyone managing low mood, depression, brain fog, or other cognitive conditions
Those who want to support eye health
People managing chronic inflammatory conditions
Anyone who doesn’t like oily fish!

ALA, EPA, DHA…there’s a lot of acronyms when it comes to omega 3 oils. But you can put down that dictionary, here’s what they mean:

ALA - alpha linolenic acid. This is the “parent” omega 3 fat found in a wide range of foods like nuts, flax and hemp seeds, seed oils, meat, and poultry (especially grain fed). Your body can convert a small amount (about 10-15%) of ALA into EPA and DHA but this is not a very efficient process.

EPA – eicosapentaenoic acid. A polyunsaturated fatty acid found in grass-fed meat and oily fish like salmon, sardines, mackerel, and herring.

DPA – docosapentaenoic acid. The intermediate fatty acid between EPA and DHA.

DHA – docosahexaenoic acid. Your body can convert some EPA into DHA, but mainly relies on food sources like grass-fed meat and oily fish.

At Ethical Nutrition we use marine algae (Schizochytrium sp.) grown in a pollution-free environment. The algae is farmed sustainably, making it a better option for protecting our seas and oceans [6]. And unlike fish, algae don’t accumulate toxic heavy metals and other harmful substances from polluted waters [7].

Our products are suitable for vegetarians and vegans and approved by The Vegan Society.

Omega 3 fatty acids influence many different biological pathways in the body. Because of this, omega 3 supplements can potentially interact with a range of drugs. If you are taking any prescription medications it is advisable to speak to your GP or healthcare provider before taking omega 3.

Common drug/omega 3 interactions include:

Anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications.
Drugs that interfere with fat digestion and absorption (e.g. Orlistat and other lipase inhibitors).
Blood pressure medications.
