Vegan Omega-3 from Algae (DHA+EPA) – Brain & Heart Support

Algae is the original source of omega-3 and it’s where fish get their omega-3 in the first place. By going straight to the source, our formula delivers clean DHA + EPA without the heavy metals, microplastics, or fishy aftertaste that come with fish oil. And because there's no need to kill fish, it’s better for the ocean too.

No. Living Maia’s omega-3 is made from algae, not fish, so there’s no fishy taste or smell. The softgels are designed to be easy to take and gentle on the stomach, without the unpleasant aftertaste or “fishy burps” that many people experience with traditional fish oil supplements.

Our omega-3 is made from sustainably sourced algae, not fish, making it 100% vegan, ocean-friendly, and a cleaner, safer alternative to fish oil. Because it’s grown in controlled, land-based systems, it’s free from ocean contaminants like heavy metals and microplastics often found in fish-based supplements.

Sourcing from algae instead of fish helps protect marine ecosystems and avoids contributing to overfishing or harm to ocean life. It’s a more sustainable choice for both your health and the planet.

Our packaging is also carefully chosen to reflect our environmental commitment. We use recyclable glass bottles, aluminum caps, and FSC-certified paper for our labels and boxes, minimizing plastic use as much as possible.

Plastic pollution is a global issue, and we’re doing our part to reduce it. Through our choices, we hope to raise awareness, help spread the message, and inspire change.

Yes. Each batch of our algae-based omega-3 undergoes comprehensive in-house testing by our U.S.-based manufacturer, Icelandirect. They test for heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic), microbial contaminants, and oxidation to ensure the oil is pure, stable, and safe.

We review every Certificate of Analysis (COA) to confirm that each batch meets strict quality standards before it is released.

Yes! The softgels are made from all plant-based ingredients: modified tapioca starch, purified water, palm glycerin, and rosemary extract. Tapioca starch forms the softgel shell, and it replaces animal-derived gelatin used in conventional softgels.

Each bottle contains 64 softgels, enough for a 1–2 month supply depending on your daily intake.

We always recommend checking with your healthcare provider before starting any supplement. That said, many expectant and new moms prefer algae-based omega-3 because it’s cleaner than fish oil, free of the fishy aftertaste, and our formula is pure and filler-free.
