Overview

Nordic Naturals Algae Omega provides 715mg of combined EPA and DHA per 2-softgel serving sourced entirely from microalgae — the original source of omega-3s in the marine food chain. This is the premium vegan alternative to fish oil, providing both EPA and DHA (many algae oils only provide DHA). Nordic Naturals' purity standards apply equally to their algae line. The 120-softgel count provides a 2-month supply.
