Vegan Omega-3: how to choose
When shopping for vegan omega-3, start by comparing products on their actual label details rather than choosing on name or pack design alone. Omega and fatty-acid products differ by source, concentration and delivery format. Fish, algae and mixed-oil formulas may provide different fatty-acid profiles, so the label is important when comparing options.
Useful points to compare include:
- Source: Check whether the oil comes from fish, algae or another source.
- Fatty-acid content: Compare the amounts of EPA, DHA or other listed fatty acids per serving.
- Format: Choose between softgels, capsules and liquid oils according to your preference.
Vitamin360 lets you compare vegan omega-3 from different brands in one place. Always read the product description, ingredients, allergen information and directions before purchase, and choose a product that matches your dietary preferences and intended use. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or managing a medical condition, ask an appropriate healthcare professional before using a new supplement.
