Lamberts Vegan DHA 250mg 60 Capsules is a food supplement that provides 250mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), an omega 3 fatty acid, in each capsule. The DHA comes from algae oil rather than fish oil, so the capsules are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. This makes it a fish-free way to take the daily amount of DHA linked to normal brain function and normal vision.

Key Features

• DHA from algae: The oil comes from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp., so the capsules contain no fish oil.
• Natural triglyceride form: Lamberts states that the oil is in the natural triglyceride (TG) form of omega 3.
• DHA only: DHA is the only omega 3 fatty acid listed on the label. It does not list EPA.
• 60 capsules: One capsule a day gives a 60 day supply, based on the lowest labelled daily amount.

How much DHA is needed for normal brain function and vision?

DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250mg of DHA, which is the amount in each capsule.

What is the difference between Lamberts Vegan DHA and Lamberts Vegan Omega 3?

Lamberts Vegan DHA lists DHA as its only omega 3 fatty acid, at 250mg per capsule. Lamberts Vegan Omega 3 is a separate product that lists both EPA (150mg) and DHA (300mg) per capsule.

Is Lamberts Vegan DHA suitable in pregnancy or for children?

The label gives no specific advice on pregnancy or breastfeeding, and no age range. It states that the product is to be taken on the advice of a practitioner or pharmacist only, and to keep it away from children.
