What is Vegan Omega? Our Vegan Omega is a great source of omega-3, which is an essential fatty acid. It’s considered ‘essential’ as your body is unable to make omega-3 itself and therefore it needs to be sourced from our diets.

Omega-3 is found naturally in fish oil and therefore it can be difficult for those following a plant-based diet to get enough from their diet alone. Our Vegan Omega is made from marine algae and is a convenient alternative to traditional fish oil supplements.
