5Vegan DHA that’s hard to find otherwise
By Manish Laxmikant
Vegans and vegetarians have two barriers to obtaining DHA: It is commonly derived from fish (coldwater fish) and when supplied in easy-to-swallow capsules, is encapsulated in gelatin. Of course, vegans/vegetarians won’t consume either.

Then again, even though DHA is converted from ALA (flaxseed sourced) in the body, the conversion is hindered by the processing of non-alpha linoleic acid (LA). So the safest bet is to get DHA directly. If you’re vegetarian/vegan and prefer to not consume fish juice and bone jelly (gelatin) then this product is perfect for you.

The DHA is sourced from algae, probably the same algae that provide DHA to fish, and is delivered in v-caps, vegan capsules that don’t use animal gelatin. Some doctors consider this a purer form and recommend algal DHA to children and pregnant mothers.

Be aware that there is a light fishy smell so if that bothers you, swallow quickly.

5great vegan product - but keep in freezer and take in middle of meal
By jules
Nice to have a DHA for vegans. I keep the bottle in the freezer and take the capsules in the middle of a meal directly from the freezer. I find that eliminates the fishy burping.

5Good Product
By S. Carter
I have been using this product for over two years. It is enteric coated so it helps with the fishy aftertaste. Algae smells like fish so there is a slight fishy smell but no fishy burping after you swallow. I recommend it.
