The Omega-3 Choice for People Who Skip the Fish

The Omega-3 Choice for People Who Skip the Fish

For years, health experts have recommended eating fatty fish twice a week to support heart and brain health. For many of us, that is a tall order.

Whether you follow a vegan lifestyle, worry about ocean pollutants, or simply cannot stand the taste of salmon, getting enough Omega-3 fatty acids often feels like a chore. Adding a supplement seems like the logical step, but the standard fish oil pill comes with its own set of problems.

Fish oil is notorious for a few things. First, there are the "fish burps" that linger for hours after a dose.

Then there is the concern about heavy metals like mercury and lead that accumulate in large fish.

Finally, there is the simple fact that many people do not want to consume animal products.

At Organics Ocean, we believe you should not have to choose between your ethics and your health. That is why we developed a smarter, more direct way to get your essential fatty acids.

1. Going Straight to the Source

There is a common misconception that fish produce Omega-3s. They actually do not.

Better Omega-3
Recommended
Better Omega-3
Vegan algae Omega-3 with 448mg EPA+DHA in triglyceride form - no fish, no burps, no fillers.

Fish get their EPA and DHA by eating microalgae.[1] By the time that oil reaches a supplement bottle, it has been processed, refined, and potentially exposed to toxins in the open ocean. We decided to skip the middleman (the fish) and go straight to the algae.

2. High Potency Without the Fillers

Many plant-based Omega-3 supplements fail to provide a significant dose of EPA and DHA.

They often rely on ALA, a form of Omega-3 found in flaxseeds that the body has a hard time converting into the usable forms your brain needs.

Every serving (2 softgels) of Better Omega-3 delivers 448mg of total omega-3s, including 400mg of EPA and DHA. This is a meaningful dose in line with common EPA and DHA intake guidance.[2]

3. Supporting Your Heart and Brain Every Day

The benefits of Omega-3s are well-documented. DHA is a major structural component of the human brain and retina.[4] Meanwhile, EPA and DHA support the maintenance of normal heart function.[5] Research has also looked at EPA and DHA intake in relation to blood pressure and heart health.[6] These fatty acids are essential, meaning your body cannot make them on its own.

When you are not eating fish, your levels can drop significantly over time. Better Omega-3 offers a simple, one-step solution to keep these levels stable. It is a premium, concentrated source of nutrition that fits perfectly into a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle without the baggage of traditional fish oil.

4. The Organics Ocean Difference

We take the same approach with our Omega-3 as we do with our Dead Sea Magnesium and our Algae-based D3.

We look for the cleanest possible raw materials and process them in the USA to ensure quality.

We know that supplement labels can be confusing, so we keep ours plainspoken and honest. No hype, no proprietary blends, and no hidden ingredients.
