Algae oil answers the question every thoughtful vegan eventually asks: where do the fish get their omega-3? The answer is — from algae. Fish accumulate DHA by eating it; microalgae make it. Fits’ Algae Oil capsules go straight to the source: 500 mg of oil from sustainably grown microalgae per softgel, delivering 200 mg of DHA with 5 mg of vitamin E — no fish, no krill, no middleman.

What DHA is

DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is one of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, a structural fat found abundantly in the brain and the retina of the eye. The body’s own conversion of plant ALA (from flax, walnuts, chia) into DHA is famously inefficient, which is why direct DHA sources matter — and why algae oil has become the standard recommendation for vegans and vegetarians who want their omega-3 covered without compromise.

What’s in each softgel

• Algae oil, 500 mg — from cultivated microalgae, the original producers of marine omega-3
• DHA, 200 mg — the headline fatty acid, stated plainly rather than hidden in a blend
• Vitamin E, 5 mg α-TE (41.7% NRV) — which contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and helps keep the delicate oil fresh

Why algae instead of fish oil

Three honest reasons. It’s plant-based — the only mainstream DHA source compatible with vegan and vegetarian diets. It’s clean by design — cultivated algae grow in controlled conditions rather than open ocean, sidestepping the contaminant question entirely. And it’s sustainable — no fishing pressure, no bycatch, no fishery politics; the algae are farmed like any other crop. The capsule shell here is plant-derived too (modified starch and carrageenan rather than gelatine), keeping the whole product animal-free.

How to take it

One capsule per day, with a meal — fats absorb best in company. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle; if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication, speak with your doctor first, and keep the pack out of children’s reach. Free from allergens, and the 60-capsule pack is a full two months of daily habit.

Frequently asked questions

Does it taste fishy? No — no fish were involved, and algae oil is famously free of the fish-oil aftertaste.

Is it really vegan? Yes, shell included — starch and carrageenan, not gelatine.

EPA or DHA? This formula is DHA-focused, the omega-3 most associated with brain and eye tissue; if you want marine EPA too, our krill oil covers that side (not vegan) alongside this.

Consistency is the whole trick

Omega-3 status is built over weeks of steady intake, not rescued by an occasional capsule — the fatty acids incorporate into cell membranes gradually, which is why every sensible protocol says the same boring thing: daily, with food, indefinitely. The two-month pack is sized for exactly that. Anchor the capsule to a meal you never skip, keep the pack visible rather than drawered, and let it become as automatic as the kettle. Vegans who’ve spent years “meaning to sort out omega-3” usually find the sorting takes precisely one purchase and zero further thought.

How should I store it? Cool, dry, lid closed — softgels dislike heat and light; a cupboard away from the oven is perfect, no fridge required.
