Description
Omega-3 Directly from the Ocean’s Original Source
Together Health Algae Omega 3 provides the important omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA directly from pure algae.
This matters because fish do not naturally produce omega-3 themselves. They obtain it from algae lower down the marine food chain.
Together Health goes straight to the original source, providing a vegan, sustainable and fish-free omega-3 supplement without harvesting fish or krill.
Why Choose Algae Omega-3?
Most omega-3 supplements are made from fish oil or krill oil. Together Health uses algae instead, providing DHA and EPA directly from the same original source used by marine life.
This helps avoid unnecessary disruption to the marine food chain while still providing the forms of omega-3 most closely associated with brain, heart and vision support.
EPA and DHA in One Capsule
Each softgel provides:
- DHA – 207mg
- EPA – 123mg
- DPA – 22mg
DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart.
Vegan and Sustainable
Because this omega-3 is sourced from algae, it is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It also avoids the fishy aftertaste often associated with traditional fish oil capsules.
Algae can be grown in controlled conditions, helping avoid the ocean contaminants that can accumulate higher up the marine food chain.
No Fish. No Krill. No Fishy Aftertaste.
By sourcing omega-3 directly from algae, Together Health bypasses fish and krill entirely.
This makes it an excellent option for people who want a clean, sustainable and plant-based source of DHA and EPA.
See the Research tab for more information on omega-3, DHA, EPA and algae as a sustainable source.
3 x 30 softgels – three months supply.
Research
Research on Algae Omega-3, DHA and EPA
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats that play important roles in heart, brain and eye health.
The two best-known marine omega-3s are DHA and EPA. These are normally associated with fish oil, but fish obtain them from algae lower down the marine food chain.
Why DHA and EPA Matter
DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart.
These are the forms of omega-3 most often used in research into marine omega-3 supplementation.
Why Algae Is the Original Source
Fish do not naturally produce meaningful amounts of DHA and EPA themselves. They accumulate omega-3 by eating algae or by eating smaller marine organisms that have fed on algae.
Algae omega-3 therefore provides a direct source of DHA and EPA without relying on fish oil or krill oil.
A Sustainable Alternative to Fish and Krill Oil
Algae can be cultivated in controlled environments, helping provide omega-3 without harvesting fish or krill from the ocean.
This makes algae oil an attractive option for people looking for a vegan, sustainable omega-3 supplement.
Algal Oil and Omega-3 Status
Research has investigated algal oil as a vegetarian source of DHA and EPA, with studies showing that algal oil can help raise omega-3 levels in the body.
