Vegan Omega-3 DHA + EPA – microalgae oil
Omega-3 without the fish: 450 mg of DHA + EPA per capsule, taken straight from the microalga, where fish get it from themselves.
Our vegan omega-3 goes back to the source: the microalga Schizochytrium, which naturally produces DHA and EPA. The oil is extracted pure, bypassing the marine food chain and its contaminants (heavy metals, PCBs). Each capsule provides 300 mg of DHA and 150 mg of EPA, protected from oxidation under the QualitySilver label, with no fishy taste or smell. Oil produced in France, plant-based capsules, just one capsule a day. Algorigin is a Swiss brand: our omega-3s are available online and in more than 600 Swiss pharmacies.
Brain and vision: DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision.
Heart: EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart.
100% plant-based: a fish-free source of omega-3, suitable for vegetarians, vegans and pregnant women.

What is Vegan Omega-3 DHA + EPA?
Omega-3s are essential fatty acids: the body cannot make them, so they must come from food or a supplement. The two active forms are DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). We associate them with oily fish, but fish don't produce them: they accumulate them by eating microalgae. Algal oil therefore gives direct access to the same DHA and EPA, without the fish.
Our vegan omega-3 is an oil from the microalga Schizochytrium sp., grown in fermenters in France, fed on glucose and trace elements, without genetic modification. The authorised claims apply from 250 mg of DHA + EPA a day: each capsule provides 450 mg, the equivalent of three portions of sardines a week. For cell protection, combine it with natural astaxanthin
What are the benefits of omega-3 DHA and EPA?
Brain function
DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function (the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA). The brain is the organ richest in DHA in the body.
Vision
DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision (250 mg a day). The retina naturally concentrates DHA.
Heart function
EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart (250 mg of EPA + DHA a day).
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal brain and eye development of the foetus and breastfed infants (200 mg of DHA a day in addition to the recommended intake). A plant source, free from mercury and PCBs, is the safest during pregnancy: see our Pregnancy Pack.
Omega-3 and skin
Omega-3s are components of cell membranes, including those of the skin. For authorised skin support, combine with Spirulina Zinc (zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin).
Who is it for?
Vegetarians and vegans
The only direct source of DHA and EPA without fish. Flaxseed, hemp and walnut oils only provide ALA, which is converted into DHA at a rate of less than 5%.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women
DHA without marine contaminants, with the authorised claim on the child's brain and eye development.
Adults and seniors
For the brain, vision and heart, as a continuous course. Our customers over 60 take it all year round. See the Cellular Vitality Pack.
People who don't eat fish
Whether for reasons of taste, conviction or caution (mercury): one capsule a day replaces the three recommended weekly portions.
90-day money-back guarantee
Our supplements work gradually: follow the course for 90 days to assess their effects. After that, if you are not satisfied, email us at info@algorigin.com with your order number and a specific reason. Once approved, you will be refunded within 14 days to your original payment method, with no need to return the product. Valid once per customer.

They take and recommend our Omega-3 DHA EPA
Peace of mind restored
I pay close attention to my cardiovascular health and have added Omega-3 to my routine on the advice of my doctor, who pointed me towards a well-dosed DHA+EPA. 450 mg per capsule, plant-based: I feel confident in this choice.
Better concentration
I've been trying this supplement for about a month. I feel calmer and more focused during my working days. And there's no algae aftertaste at all. I recommend it.
The right alternative to fish
I hardly ever eat fish, so my diet was inevitably short on omega-3s. One capsule a day has sorted that out, straight from the source, with no taste or smell. It's well worth a try.
Loyal for 2 years
I'm 63 and I've been taking Algorigin's Omega-3 DHA+EPA for two years. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function, and at my age that really matters: I'm committed to this daily routine and I feel good on it.
Omega-3 DHA EPA: an excellent food supplement
Once you look at the ingredients, you quickly get it: 450 mg of DHA+EPA in a single capsule, 100% plant-based. You don't find that everywhere. It's exactly what I was looking for. Very good product, thank you
Laboratory testing
Purity isn't something you claim, it's something you verify. We have both our raw materials and our finished products laboratory-tested for purity and active compound content, and we publish the results.
Brain and vision
DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision.
Heart
EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart.
100% plant-based
A fish-free source of omega-3, suitable for vegetarians, vegans and pregnant women.
Dosage: how should I take omega-3?
Take 1 vegan omega-3 softgel a day, at any time of day, ideally with a meal. A jar lasts 50 days.
When should I take omega-3: morning or evening?
With your main meal, for better absorption of the fatty acids. Timing matters less than consistency.
How many omega-3 softgels per day?
Just one: it provides 450 mg of DHA + EPA, above the 250 mg threshold required for the health claims. Pregnant women can ask their doctor whether they should increase to 2 capsules.
How long does a course of omega-3 last?
Omega-3s need to be supplied continuously through your diet, so the supplement is ideally taken all year round. A 3-month course is the minimum our expert recommends.
Precautions
If you are on anticoagulants or before surgery, seek medical advice. The dosage can be adapted for children.
Why choose Algorigin vegan omega-3?
*These percentages use protein as a reference, but the results also apply to other micronutrients.*
Origin and purity
Our omega-3 algal oil is produced in France. The microalga Schizochytrium sp. naturally produces omega-3 fatty acids rich in DHA, without genetic modification. These microalgae are the original source of the omega-3s found in fish oils: they form the base of the marine food chain.
Grown in closed fermenters, they are not exposed to heavy metals or ocean pollutants. The QualitySilver label guarantees a low oxidation index (TOTOX), the sign of a fresh, effective oil. Every batch is tested and the certificates are available to view.

Frequently asked questions about vegan omega-3
Are algal omega-3s as effective as fish oil?
Yes: the DHA and EPA in algal oil are the same molecules as those in fish oil, which in fact originally come from algae. The authorised claims (brain, vision, heart) apply from 250 mg of DHA + EPA a day; our capsule provides 450 mg.
What are the benefits of omega-3?
DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision; EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart; maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal brain and eye development of the foetus and breastfed infants.
Why choose a fish-free vegan omega-3?
No marine contaminants (mercury, PCBs, dioxins), no fishy taste or repeating, no pressure on fish stocks, and a source suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.
What is the difference between DHA and EPA?
DHA is structural: it makes up the membranes of the brain and retina. EPA is more functional (heart). Our 2:1 ratio (300 mg DHA / 150 mg EPA) favours the brain and vision.
How much DHA and EPA per day?
250 mg of DHA + EPA a day is enough for the authorised claims. 1 Algorigin softgel = 450 mg.
When should I take omega-3, morning or evening?
With your main meal, at whatever time suits you. Consistency matters more than timing.
Is vegan omega-3 suitable during pregnancy?
Yes, it's actually the safest source: maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal brain and eye development of the foetus and breastfed infants, with no exposure to mercury. Ask your midwife for advice on the dosage.
Do omega-3s have side effects?
No notable side effects at the recommended doses. With no fishy taste, it avoids the repeating so common with fish oils. If you take anticoagulants, seek medical advice.
What does the QualitySilver label mean?
It is a quality label for algal oil that guarantees a low oxidation index (TOTOX) and a compliant DHA/EPA content, tested batch by batch.
Is linseed or rapeseed oil enough?
No: these oils provide ALA, which the body converts into DHA at a rate of less than 5%. Only microalgae and fish provide DHA and EPA directly.
Where can I buy vegan omega-3 in a pharmacy in Switzerland?
In more than 600 Swiss pharmacies and drugstores, or at algorigin.com, delivered in 2 to 3 days.
How long does a jar last?
50 days at one softgel a day. 90-day money-back guarantee.
