Most Popular Questions
What is Vegan Omega 3 DHA + EPA?
Ekopura Vegan Omega 3 DHA + EPA is a 100% plant-based algae oil supplement in capsule form, rich in the essential omega 3 fatty acids DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). DHA contributes to the normal function of the brain and the maintenance of normal vision with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA*. EPA and DHA together contribute to the normal function of the heart with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA + DHA*.
Unlike traditional fish oil, our omega 3 is sourced directly from microalgae — the original source of DHA and EPA. The algae are cultivated in a fully controlled environment, free from ocean pollutants, heavy metals, and PCBs, ensuring purity and quality.
This vegan omega 3 supplement is sustainably produced, free from unnecessary additives, and designed for those who value purity, transparency, and plant-based nutrition.
* EFSA approved health claims. See official EU Register of Nutrition and Health Claims
Why algae oil instead of fish oil?
Algae oil is the plant-based alternative to traditional fish oil and naturally contains the same essential omega 3 fatty acids: DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). Unlike fish oil, algae oil is not derived from fish but sourced directly from microalgae — the original source of omega 3 in the food chain. Fish obtain their DHA and EPA from consuming algae.
Because microalgae are cultivated in a controlled environment, algae oil is free from ocean pollutants such as heavy metals and PCBs. It is also a more sustainable choice, as no fish harvesting is required. For vegetarians, vegans, and anyone who values purity, transparency, and sustainability, algae oil is the logical and future-proof alternative.
How much DHA and EPA does one capsule contain?
Each capsule provides 280 mg of omega 3 fatty acids, including 210 mg DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and 70 mg EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid).
This dosage meets the scientifically established minimum daily intake of 250 mg DHA + EPA, which contributes to the normal function of the heart. The higher DHA concentration also makes this supplement particularly suitable for supporting normal brain function and maintaining healthy vision.
The omega 3 is 100% plant-based, sourced directly from microalgae, and delivered in a small, easy-to-swallow softgel capsule for convenient daily use.

- Vegetarians and vegans

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ekopura Omega 3 DHA + EPA?
Vegan Omega-3 DHA+EPA from Ekopura is a 100% plant-based algae oil supplement. It provides the essential fatty acids DHA and EPA, which are crucial for heart, brain and vision function, without the use of fish.
Is your Omega-3 suitable for vegans and vegetarians?
Unlike regular fish oil, our product is completely free of animal ingredients. Even the capsule is made from seaweed, not animal gelatin, making it 100% plant-based.
Is algae oil as effective as fish oil?
Algae are the original source of omega 3 fatty acids. Fish obtain DHA and EPA by consuming microalgae. By sourcing omega 3 directly from algae, this supplement provides the same biologically active forms of DHA and EPA as fish oil.
Scientific research shows that DHA and EPA from microalgal oil have comparable bioavailability to fish oil when equivalent doses are consumed (see published study on PubMed). The difference lies in purity and sustainability: algae are cultivated in a controlled environment, without the need for fish harvesting.
What does a Totox value of 4.5 mean for quality?
The Totox value measures the level of oxidation (freshness) of an oil. A lower value indicates a fresher and more stable product. With a Totox score of 4.5 — well below the EU limit of 26 — we ensure a highly stable and high-quality omega 3 supplement.
Is there a fishy aftertaste to the capsules?
No, thanks to the high purity and use of fresh algae oil, you won't experience a fishy aftertaste or belching, which is often a drawback with fish oil.
Is this omega 3 supplement safe for people with a fish or shellfish allergy?
Yes. Because our algae are cultivated in a closed and controlled environment, the supplement does not contain fish or shellfish ingredients. As it is derived directly from microalgae rather than fish, it is generally considered a suitable alternative for individuals who avoid fish and shellfish.
Can I use this supplement during pregnancy or lactation?
Yes, DHA is an important building block for the development of the baby’s brain and eyes. However, we always recommend consulting your midwife or healthcare professional before use during pregnancy.
What is the recommended daily dosage?
Take 1 capsule daily with a meal. This dosage is carefully tailored to the daily requirements of adults for heart, brain and eye support.
