Product Description

Do you know fish get their Omega-3 from the algae they eat? Ovega-3 is the vegetarian/vegan alternative to fish oil. Fish get their omega-3s from algae 1, and so does Ovega-3. Why not go straight to the same trusted plant source for the heart, brain, eye, and overall health benefits that omega-3s provide? * With 500mg of omega-3s, Ovega-3 provides the same heart-healthy benefits of traditional omega-3 supplements and oils but without the unpleasant fishy aftertaste and impurities associated with some omega-3 fish oils.* We’ve cut out the middleman – fish– found in many other heart health dietary supplements and have gone directly to the source by using algae, to give you the multiple health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids.* And we did it without sacrificing the levels of Omega-3, as we actually have 5X more Omega-3 per serving vs. Krill Oil.

Fast Delivery - Awesome product

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2013

Style: 2 month supplyVerified Purchase

Second time I've ordered and the value for the product is spectacular. !00% vegetarian (including capsule!) No fishy taste at all - not harvested from polluted ocean so you are saving not only the marine life but the ecosystem and providing yourself with a necessary supplement - great for vegetarians, vegans and anyone who wants to minimize their impact on our earth and the amount of potential toxins they ingest. The algae that is providing the DHA in Ovega-3 (which is what the fish eat that makes them "beneficial") is grown in tanks so it is a controlled environment not negatively affected by humans detrimental actions on our oceans. This is essential for pregnancy but also helps with depression, brain development (and maintaining our brains) and while the pill is not small it goes down easily with NO FISHY AFTERTASTE AT ALL!! I am guessing this may be the way it is grown but for the amount you get per capsule - you only have to take one a day to equal the sometimes three required by those companies that sell what looks like a giant bottle only to learn you need to take three to five a day "per serving". I feel better when I am taking this along with my other supplements and as a vegan it is great to know I actually found a better source than eating the animal or it's by products - but I recommend it to pregnant friends as well as others who want the DHA benefits sans the contaminants that companies have to try and remove from the product - they aren't in this one to start with...keep up the great work please!!!

no aftertaste, easy to swollow

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2020

Style: 2 month supplyVerified Purchase

So many people complaining here. I think the price is fair and I have no issue with cornstarch (it's corn, and besides you're not eating much of it here) or carrageenan (it's red seaweed! and a great vegan gelling agent so you don't eat boiled pig parts) but I do have an issue with killing fish. The omega 3s from fish come from the algae they eat anyway. Go directly to the source! These pills are smooth gelcaps (big but easy to swallow) and don't give you any weird aftertaste hearburn situation that tastes like seaweed. Also, taking omega 6 with omega 3 defeats the point. Taking omega 3 is about correcting your body's ratio because it's good for us to have more 3 than 6. Hope that helps. As a vegan by ethical imperative (which is what being vegan means, regardless of your other priorities; it's an ethical categorization, not a behavioral one), I don't love others making sweeping statements about different health claims as though they apply to all vegans. Vegans aren't a monolith; there are junk food vegans and lazy vegans and fat vegans along with health nut vegans and diy vegans and uber fit vegans. What we all have in common is that we're not going to sacrifice someone else's life, regardless of species, to improve our own. Cheers to all of us.

Good source of Omega3 with a lot less fishyness

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2024

Style: 2 month supplyVerified Purchase

Bought to increase my Omega3 intake, and I was never a fan of fish oil, so this does the trick. It does have a very mild "marine" taste to it but it's fine. I do believe it's helped my HDL up, but anecdotal of course.

ovega-3 vs deva omega-3

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2012

Style: 2 month supplyVerified Purchase

i used to buy the deva omega3 supplements ([...]) and liked them very much except that i had to take so many per day because they only contain 200mg DHA per capusle (no EPA). the last time i went on amazon to reorder the deva supplements i found these and decided to give them a shot - with 320mg DHA and 130mg EPA (not sure what makes up the other 50mg, the facts say 500mg total) i can cut down on how many capsules i take each day (i take these for inflammation which requires a higher dose than what is usually recommended).

so the pro is that the capsules contain 120mg more DHA and 130mg more EPA than the deva supplements. also, for the amount of omega3 you're getting ovega-3 is less expensive (even with the deva price being reduced on amazon). the cons are:
* capsule size is significantly larger...i'd say by 30%-40%. however, they are still relatively easy to swallow as they have a smooth coating
* the capsules have an odd smell...sort of a plastic/seaweed combo. not super strong so it's not a big deal to me, though i prefer the deva supplements on this point (they didn't have any noticeable scent)

overall i think i like the ovega-3 supplements better - mostly because i have to take fewer per day, and also because they are a bit less expensive. however, if i only required 200mg-400mg of omega-3 per day i'd probably stick with deva because they are smaller and don't have an odd scent.

EDIT: some reviews of this product imply that you would need to take 2-3 deva supplements to equal one ovega-3 supplement which is misleading. the deva supplements contain 200mg of DHA, 0mg EPA. the ovega-3 supplements contain 320mg DHA, 130mg EPA. DHA and EPA work in different ways, and most people require more DHA than EPA (which is undoubtedly why ovega-3 has more DHA than EPA in it). therefore one cannot make a 'total mg to total mg' comparison of these two supplements; only a 'total DHA to total DHA' and 'total EPA to total EPA' comparison.

UPDATE (04.23.13): when i first purchased these supplements they were about $17, arrived within three days of purchase, and the order was fulfilled by the vitamin shoppe. every order thereafter (i've ordered these through amazon about ten times now) was fulfilled by a different company, but the cost and shipping time remained about the same. the last time i placed an order it was fulfilled by PharmaFrag. the price was about $20 total (including shipping) and the order took over two weeks to arrive - at one point i was actually going to get in contact with them to ask if they forgot to ship it, but finally arrived shortly after that. i was annoyed about the price increase and ridiculous amount of time it took the order to be mailed out but i wasn't going to amend my review because at that point i thought each time i ordered this product it was coming from the same company and this time was just a fluke.

today i received an email from PharmaFrag - this is an excerpt of that email:

"I would please ask you to take just a few minutes and leave us a 5 star feedback by clicking on the link Bellow: This will be greatly appreciated and helpful. Please do not give us a bad feedback or even a neutral. It will make our account on a negative site and it will affect our ability to serve you in the future."

i thought this was a pretty weird email which is basically telling me to give them five stars. having never before received this email after purchasing ovega-3, i looked into my order history and realized i have been buying this product from a different company each time i order. the point of this lengthy update is that i think PharmaFrag is a pretty slimy company and i won't be purchasing from them again. in addition, when i consider the fact that the price is higher and it took forever for the ovega-3 to get to me, i've decided to just buy this from my local vitamin supply shop (which is selling it for about $25 - the additional $3 is well worth getting the product immediately and not supporting a company that i think it trying to manipulate people into giving positive feedback for inadequate service).

i want to make it clear that i did NOT change my star rating of this product. i still think the product itself is great, i just wanted to include this update so people know if they're ordering from PharmaFrag their order may take a really long time to arrive. also, in my original review i made the point that this product has a better bang for your buck than the deva supplements, but if the price keeps going up that won't be true anymore.
