What are the benefits of DHA?
DHA supports normal brain function and vision. These omega-3 fatty acids are essential for the body and are often used to support cognitive function and overall vitality.

- Omega 3 DHA contributes to normal brain function and normal vision with a daily intake of 250 mg per day. *
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: 200mg Omega-3 DHA per day, taken by the mother, is an important building block for the brain and contributes to the normal development of the eyes of the foetus and infants.**
* This is equivalent to 1 capsule of our Omega-3 DHA. If this is your goal, Omega-3 DHA is sufficient.
** This beneficial effect is obtained in addition to taking 250mg of Omega-3 EPA + DHA. We therefore recommend taking a combination of Omega-3 DHA and Omega-3 EPA + DHA during this period.
Why choose algae oil instead of fish oil?
Algae are the original source of omega-3 fatty acids: fish get them by eating algae. Our omega-3 comes from the microalga Schizochytrium sp. The algae are grown in a closed system. The capsules contain no fish or fish oil.
Which Ekopura Omega 3 should I take?
It depends on what health benefits you want to achieve from taking omega 3.
- Omega-3 DHA is beneficial for the eyes and brain with a daily intake of 250mg. This is equivalent to one capsule of our Omega-3 DHA. If this is your goal, Omega-3 DHA is sufficient.
- Omega-3 EPA + DHA is also beneficial for the brain and eyes and also contributes to normal heart function with a daily intake of 250mg. This is equivalent to one capsule of our Omega-3 EPA + DHA .
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: 200mg Omega-3 DHA per day (1 capsule) taken by the mother is an important building block for the brain of the fetus and breastfed infants, and contributes to normal eye development. This beneficial effect is obtained in addition to the intake of 250mg Omega-3 EPA + DHA. We therefore recommend taking a combination of Omega-3 DHA and Omega-3 EPA + DHA during this period.
Is this supplement suitable for vegans and vegetarians?
Yes, Ekopura Omega-3 is completely vegan. The capsules contain no animal ingredients and are made with algae oil and seaweed extract, without gelatin or other animal-based additives.
How much DHA does one capsule contain?
Each capsule contains 250 mg of DHA, a high-quality omega-3 fatty acid. This dosage is tailored to the daily needs of adults.
What is the recommended daily dosage?
Take 1 capsule daily with a meal, unless otherwise advised by a doctor. This amount provides the recommended daily intake of DHA for brain and eye support.
Does the product contain allergens or unwanted additives?
No, the supplement is free from soy, gluten, lactose, preservatives and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It also contains no iodine. The ingredient list shows which excipients it contains, such as antioxidants that keep the oil fresh and the plant-based capsule shell.
Can I use this supplement during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Are you pregnant or breastfeeding? Then talk to your doctor or midwife first about whether a food supplement is right for you and which dosage suits you. You can find the composition, the dosage and the directions for use on the packaging and the product page.
How do I best store the algae oil capsules?
Store the capsules tightly closed in a dry place at room temperature (15–25°C), away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
What is the shelf life?
The expiration date is always printed on the back of the packaging, at the bottom. We guarantee a minimum shelf life of 12 months. In reality, it's often longer. Therefore, it's possible to purchase multiple products at once for a longer period.
Can children also use this omega-3?
The dosage is tailored to adults. A different dosage applies to children. The frequency will need to be adjusted—consult a doctor first about the correct dosage.
What is a Totox value and why is it important?
The Totox value indicates the oil's oxidation quality. A lower number means fresher, higher-quality oil.
Our algae oil has a low Totox value of 4.5, which indicates freshness and quality. The maximum EU standard is 26, and we are well below that.
Where does the algae oil come from, and what is in the capsule?
The omega-3 comes from the microalga Schizochytrium sp. The algae are grown in a closed system. The product is manufactured in Europe. The capsules contain no fish and no fish oil. The capsule shell is plant-based, not gelatine. One capsule provides 250 mg DHA; a pack holds 90 capsules.
