Lamberts Vegan Omega 3 Liquid 150ml is a lemon flavoured food supplement that provides the omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA from microalgae oil. Each 5ml (one teaspoonful) contains 100mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 500mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). It is suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and it gives you a fish-free omega 3 that you take by the spoonful instead of as a capsule.
