Good Vegan Omega-3
These are good supplements. I have been taking them for a year now.

A carrageenan hack…
2022 Update:I’m coming back to this after a doctor recommended omega 3. I’m deathly allergic to seafood and fish oils, so a good vegan option is key.I’ve been researching for Hours tonight, trying to find a good vegan omega 3 and finally decided to go with this again, because I had no issues with tolerating it in the past, and honestly, it seemed pretty good.I remember the capsules going down easily, they had a nice, golden color, and seem like good quality. Hopefully, the formula is the same.I often used to pop the capsule between my teeth to avoid the carageenan, and consume the oil only. The taste was mild, and never an issue (Not at all fishy like a review mentioned, I’m vegan with Major fish allergies, so a fishy taste would have freaked me out).After awhile, I just swallowed them, and was fine. Honestly, the golden capsule looks pretty nice, and goes down easily.I have a sensitive gut, but never had any issues with these. I think in the future I’ll prick the capsule with a knife and squeeze the oil onto my salad, or just pop it between my teeth, and toss the shell. It’s a tiny amount and always had a mild taste.I could tell this was seaweed, and definitely Not fish. I was a little worried reading a reviewer thought it was fish, because I have severe allergies to fish, and ended up in the ER., fighting for my life, from a nordic omega fish oil.But this product has always been fine.If anyone gets a product with a strong fish smell, check the expiration date, it could be rancid.The customer service was always good, so hopefully they’ll take care of you.2020 Update:The second bottle arrived today and it was shipped in an envelope, no box. The envelope containing the jar, was left in the heat. It was 90 degrees F here, and the jar felt hot when I got it.Omega oils go bad from the heat, so I’m returning the package. Heat resistant packaging would be best, since the product is damaged by heat.It’s now hot where I currently am, so I’m again looking for an omega product with protective, heat resistant packaging. This type of product, being heat sensitive, needs heat resistant packaging, at least some padding around the bottle to protect the contents from getting fried.The product is otherwise very good, so to be fair, deserves 4 stars.Original review:A carrageenan hack…I was concerned due to the reviews mentioning carageenan.The most recent studies and credible doctors opinions on carageenan are not good. Carageenan is used to induce inflammation in animals for studies. Additionally carageenan is believed to cause bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, glucose intolerance, colon cancer and food allergies.Findings of a review from 2017 report that even non-degraded carrageenan can cause inflammation and bowel disorders, suggesting that this substance may contribute to ulcers and IBDHaving a very sensitive digestive system, I want to avoid ingesting carageenan daily, because even in the tiniest amounts, it can be extremely harmful taken daily, over time.Someone mentioned cutting the outer capsule (which contains the carageenan) and ingesting the oil only, avoiding the carageenan. I saw the reviews mentioning the bad taste and fish smell, so I was hesitant to do this.Instead, I punctured the capsule with a knife and squeezed the contents into a glass. There was No bad smell. I tasted the oil before pouring in the orange juice and it has a mild taste. For me, it would be fine to take this without juice.I also haven’t had much to eat today other than a few almonds, and there is no stomach pain after taking this with a glass of orange juice.So if anyone wants to avoid the carrageenan but still want to try these, squeezing the contents out, worked for me.As far as any results, nothing noticeable after taking daily for a month. I’ll keep taking omega supplements as the research show that an omega 3 supplement can have incredible health benefits. The challenge is to find a good supplement with proven results.I asked the company if there are any studies done of the efficacy of this supplement. I’ll repost here when I get a reply.• Reply from the company -“We do not have a unique study done for our branded supplement but it is the same strain of algae (schizochytrium) for any study you can find on algae DHA. Efficacy will be similar if not identical to the results of publically available peer-reviewed papers.”

Vegan Omegas!!
Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great vegan option.  Been taking them for years and am happy with the purchase.  I feel like it’s a great way to make sure I’m getting my omegas daily despite being a vegetarian.  

Good product
This has become my go to for vegan omega 3. Good price and good guality

J’ai acheté ma première boîte en mai 2022 pour m’aider à prendre un poids santé lorsque j’ai recommencé le gym car j’étais très maigre et je n’ai pas été déçu. Ne vous inquiétez pas cela fait prendre un poids santé dans les bon endroit (hanche et fesses) mais pas dans le ventre, ce sont des bon gras.Je ne peux pas prendre les omega-3 normaux vendu en pharmacie car elle me donnent de gros bouton cet omega-3 vegan me donne au connaître un belle peau. Je la remarque plus lumineuse et moins rugueuse.De plus les capsules sont BEAUCOUP plus agréables à avaler que celles en pharmacie, elles sont plus petites et n’ont pas d’arrières goûts de poissons.C’est ma deuxième boîte j’ai pris celle a 180 capsules cette fois.Le seule point négatif est le prix, c’est l’un des plus cher sur amazon, mais la qualité est excellente.

I am not someone who tends to gush over the items I buy. Nevertheless, it bears saying that I’m an unabashedly huge fan of this product. After much research, I believe this is by far the best, as well as my favourite, vegan omega-3 supplement on the market, especially ever since they removed carrageenan from its capsules. The current formulation has no taste, has an easy texture and a fun new orange colour, and contains nutrients I need to support a healthy whole-food plant-based diet and pregnancy. Not sure I fully understand the benefits of DPA over EPA, but I’ll suspend disbelief given its contribution to the recent blessed absence of brain fog from my life. I was almost inconsolable when there was an interruption in the availability of this product on this site, but I am assured that it will continue to be available in the UK. Also, Freshfield’s customer service is top-notch in terms of support, clarity, and whimsical sense of humour. Very grateful for the benefits of this supplement, and very happy to continue my devoted subscription.
