This is the latest innovation in vegetarian omega-3 essential fatty acids. For the first time in history there is a vegetarian supplement with the so-called long chain fatty acids DHA just like in fish! We've just skipped fish in the food chain. Simply put it boils down to this: fish get their omega-3 fatty acids by eating algae. Algae Omega is extracted from these microalgae and is 100% suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Because the oil is not derived from fish, there is no chance of ingestion of any contaminants from the ocean.
