When to take Algae Omega-3
Take algae omega-3 with a meal containing fat. Algae is the only direct vegan source of EPA and DHA, so you skip the inefficient ALA-to-DHA conversion. Aim for 500–1,000mg combined EPA+DHA daily for general support.

FAQ
Same benefits as fish oil?
Yes. EPA and DHA are the same molecules; algae is just the direct, plant-based source.
ALA from flax instead?
Humans convert <10% of ALA to EPA and <1% to DHA, so flax cannot replace EPA/DHA-rich supplements.
Dose for vegans?
Vegans often need a deliberate algae source since plant diets supply almost no preformed EPA/DHA.
