Plant-Based (algae!) Omega 3 Supplements
We all hear about omega 3 fatty acids, and how they are good for our heart, brain, skin and eyes. And that’s true. But you don’t need fish to eat them (fish is also often contaminated with mercury, and once cooked, the main benefits disappear anyway).
Nothing Fishy (use code ENGNF15 for 15% off first purchase) is a good brand, sold in glass bottles with refill pouches.
Always talk to your GP first if pregnancy/nursing or taking any medication or supplements, before taking these. Store in a cool dark place, away from children and pets.
You can get omega 3 fatty acids from plant foods, but you would have to be a saintly eater, whizzing up flaxseeds with water each day, or eating the recommended dose of walnuts!
It’s far easier to just take a plant-based omega 3 fatty acid supplement. These get omega 3s from the same place the fish does – algae. This is also cleaner, as the algae is grown in controlled containers, so there is no nasty stuff like mercury.
Don’t worry about omega 6 fatty acids, these are easily got through daily food. For taking a supplement, expect to see benefits in around 6 to 8 weeks.
Feel Omega 3 Supplement
Feel Omega 3 is a high-potency supplement made from algae that contains a high dose of DHA and EPA. It has wonderful reviews, and earn discount rewards. Use code partner20 for 20% discount (not bundles or subscriptions).
I developed eczema inside my ear and tried everything. It was causing severe infections and pain. After hearing the benefits of omega 3, I tried these and in a few weeks, my ears were about 70% better. Over a year later, they are 99% better. Truly life-changing.
My joints are much less ‘creaky’ and seem to ache less.
Vegums (orange omega-3 gummies)
Vegums Fish-Free Omega 3 is another good brand, created by two pharmacists. These are chewy supplements sold in a tin, then buy refills in cellulose bags (just cut up and compost).
Take 2 gummies daily, or just 1 for children (from age 3 to 12).
These are a great idea for children who don’t eat fish. No dolphins harmed, and one gummy each day, gives the same omega 3, as half a can of tuna.
Nothing Fishy! Algae Omega 3
Nothing Fishy (use code ENGNF15 for 15% off first purchase) is another good brand, sold in glass jars with sustainable refill pouches. This brand is loved by thousands of customers!
Dr Vegan (algae omega 3 supplement)
Dr Vegan Omega 3 Supplement is another good brand, again sold in a tin with sustainable refill packs. Just like Mr Kipling, Dr Vegan does not really exist – ‘he’ is a team of highly-trained nutritionists. Take one two capsules daily with food (ideally with some fat, to improve absorption).
Some people notice slight stomach upset, which often settles when taken with meals or by splitting the dose across the day.
