Lamberts Vegan Omega 3 30 Capsules is a food supplement that provides the omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA from microalgae oil. Each capsule contains 150mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 300mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Because the oil comes from algae, the capsules are suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and they give you both EPA and DHA in a single capsule without fish oil.

Key Features

• EPA and DHA from algae: The oil comes from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp., so the capsules contain no fish oil.
• 300mg DHA per capsule: This is above the 250mg daily DHA intake linked to normal vision and normal brain function.
• Natural triglyceride form: Lamberts states that the oil is in the natural triglyceride (TG) form of omega 3.
• 30 capsules: One capsule a day, the standard labelled amount, gives a 30 day supply.

What does Lamberts Vegan Omega 3 contribute to?
