  • Supports heart, brain, eye, and joint health

Plant-Based DHA & EPA from Microalgae

Living Maia Vegan Omega-3 delivers DHA and EPA directly from microalgae oil — a clean, fish-free source of omega-3 for daily wellness support. Designed for vegans, vegetarians, and anyone looking for omega-3 without fish oil or fishy aftertaste.

Grown on Land, Not From the Ocean

Because our omega-3 comes directly from microalgae grown in controlled, land-based environments, it avoids exposure to ocean-sourced contaminants commonly associated with fish oil, such as heavy metals and microplastics.

Direct DHA + EPA Support

Each serving provides 300 mg DHA + 150 mg EPA, two important omega-3 fatty acids that support heart, brain, eyes, joints, and overall wellness. Unlike flax or chia, which provide ALA that must be converted by the body, algal oil provides DHA and EPA directly.

Omega-3s in Natural Triglyceride Form

Our DHA and EPA are provided in natural triglyceride form, the naturally occurring fat form found in algal oil, not in ethyl ester form. Research suggests omega-3s in triglyceride form are generally more readily absorbed than omega-3s in ethyl ester form.

Only 5 Clean, Plant-Based Ingredients

  • Algal oil (Schizochytrium sp. algae)
  • Purified water
  • Modified tapioca starch (from cassava root)
  • Palm glycerin (USP grade, responsibly sourced)
  • Rosemary extract (natural preservative)

It's free from common allergens including milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, and sesame. It's also free from carrageenan, corn-derived ingredients, and artificial additives.

Exceptional Quality

Made in the USA in an NSF-certified, FDA-registered, GMP-compliant facility, using premium ingredients sourced both domestically and globally. Every batch is tested to verify DHA & EPA potency and screen for heavy metals and microbial contaminants. See our quality & testing.

Sustainable Inside and Out

Packaged with care in a recyclable amber glass bottle with an aluminum cap, with boxes and labels printed on FSC-certified paper—because what goes into your body matters, and so does what goes back into the Earth.

What You Get

Each bottle contains 64 softgels / 32 servings, providing a 1-month supply when taking the recommended two softgels daily.

Pack Options

Available in 1-, 2-, and 4-bottle packs, providing a 1-, 2-, or 4-month supply, with better value on larger packs.

I've been taking the product for now about a little over twenty days. My hair is stronger and my skin is getting clearer. I wanted to explain that I've been dealing with health situations, but the product has really helped me feel back to me. Thank you for creating such a beautiful product.

What a treat! Finding Living Maia was like discovering the Mighty Boosh — both feel tailor made specifically for my brain, heart & daily overall wellbeing!

Glass bottle, check! Metal lid, check! Vegan casing, Check! Same algae source as the fish eat without the pesky middle(fish)man’s sloppy seconds, check-checkity-check!

We love piercing the soft gels and squeezing them into smoothies when sore throat season arrives, leaving us unable to swallow pills. Our solid state multivitamins from another company have yet to mirror this sentiments.This product was truly created for us all to aid in the best-ment (??? I’m going with it, coining it, bestment!) of ourselves.

Moral of the story — buy in bulk. Each bottle is like opening a present to yourself! Also, your friends will wish to join in your good habits, especially if they still imbibe in bad habits. Jump on the brain train with us!

Cheer to your health!

Excellent product! I have been taking Omega-3s for many years so was very pleased to switch from fish oil to plant based. As a scuba diver I especially appreciate the sustainability of using this vegan product instead of harming our marine ecosystems.

I've taken Omega-3 oil from Costco on and off for a few years. The way I take most supplements in softgels is to break them with my teeth. There are two reasons I do this: 1) I want to taste what's inside, and 2) I spit out the softgels because to me they feel unnatural, resembling plastics.

However, when I first chewed Living Maia Omega-3 softgels, I was surprised by the softness of the capsules. They melted in mouth easily, giving me the assurance that they are easy for my sensitive stomach to digest, so I ended up swallowing them.

The Omega-3 oil itself tasted pure and light, way better in quality compared to Costco's.

Also, the softgels come in a glass bottle. I am a believer in glass containers, so wherever I can I buy food items bottled in glass, for example: milk, kimchi, oyster, pasta sauce, honey, mayonnaise, etc. They cost a bit more but I feel safer and better knowing I am fighting to reduce microplastics in our environment.

It's been only a couple of weeks since I started taking Living Maia's algae Omega-3, but I am starting to notice a difference in my skin, which appears to have a healthier glow. Also, my blood pressure has been more stable in the normal range and my eyes are seeing better (less dry).

This is an excellent Omega-3 product. I will keep using it for more health benefits.

“I recently added Living Maia Vegan Omega-3 to my supplement regimen, and it has been an excellent choice.

Made from pure, plant-based sources, this omega-3 provides all the benefits without the fishy aftertaste or the risk of contaminants. It is ideal not only for those following a vegan or vegetarian diet, but also for anyone who wants to avoid the toxic heavy-metal mercury commonly found in fish-oil supplements.

Since beginning this supplement, I’ve noticed several positive changes. My mental clarity has improved, my mood feels more lifted, and I feel more confident in my cardiovascular wellness thanks to the omega-3 support for heart health. Its anti-inflammatory properties have also helped reduce minor skin rashes on my chin.

The softgels are easy to swallow, the daily serving is just two capsules, and unlike many other vegan omega-3 options I’ve tried, they don’t cause any unpleasant fishy or seaweed-like burping.

As a healthcare advocate, I am pleased to endorse this new supplement from Living Maia and feel confident recommending it to clients, family, and friends when appropriate for their individual health needs.”

As a middle-aged woman who cares deeply about my health, I’m extremely particular about what I put in my body. I train with weights, I do cardio, and I expect my supplements to support my performance, recovery, and overall clarity. Omega-3s have always been a must for me, but finding a clean, high-quality option without the fishy taste or questionable sourcing has been a challenge — until now.

I’m really impressed with Living Maia’s vegan, algae-derived Omega-3 supplement. I love that it comes straight from algae instead of fish. It feels cleaner, more sustainable, and just makes sense since algae is where fish get their omegas to begin with. There’s absolutely no fishy taste or smell, which is a huge plus for me.

I also care a lot about hormones, inflammation, and staying mentally sharp, and I’ve noticed that when I take omega-3s consistently, I feel more balanced, my joints feel better during training, and my mind stays clear. Having a product that delivers DHA and EPA without any unnecessary fillers gives me confidence that I’m giving my body the best option available.

Another thing I love is the dark glass bottle. No plastic, no cheap packaging — just a clean, high-quality presentation that protects the integrity of the oil. As someone who avoids plastics whenever possible, this was a big selling point for me.

Overall, this supplement checks every box for me: clean ingredients, plant-based, sustainable, no fishiness whatsoever, and a company that genuinely seems to care about quality. If you’re looking for a trustworthy omega-3 to support strength, recovery, mental clarity, and long-term wellness, Living Maia is absolutely worth trying.

As a regular and highly selective consumer of supplements, I am impressed by the care, conscience, and environmental stewardship that Living Maia represents and embodies down to every detail. I am reminded that I can live in alignment with both my own health needs — avoiding heavy metals, microplastics, and countless other contaminants found in other supplement brands — as well as the interests of the larger ecology. I also love that the Omega-3 is derived from algae, the foundation of the food chain, just one degree of separation from the original energy source, pure and unadulterated.

Living Maia feels like a great friend that reminds me every day of my wish to live a balanced life. As I continue getting older, I see that my body is always seeking balance in new ways, and having a clean trusted source of Omegas for my health is definitely something this product delivers. I not only feel nourished and energized, but also deeply aligned with the mission to support life all over the planet.

The Living Maia Vegan Omega-3 Fish-Free gel capsules are a balanced solution for conscious supplementation. As a vegetarian, ensuring my health plan aligns with cruelty-free standards is paramount, and this product delivers. I take two pills each morning as part of my daily routine. The capsules are easy to swallow and completely free of any unpleasant taste or odor. They offer a refined, premium experience without the compromises often associated with traditional marine supplements. I highly recommend this product for the discerning plant-based lifestyle. Try it; you will like it!

These are amazing! Omega-3 pills I've used before have given me uncomfortable and unpleasant "fish burps," so much so that I'd quit taking them. But none of that with these Vegan Omega-3 DHA + EPA Algal Oil Softgels! They're very digestible, have no odor, and don't cause bad breath! I wish I'd had these years ago!

Living Maia's Omege-3 softgels has satisfied my search for a plant based way to support my body so that I can remain vigorous as I age! Since I started taking them several months ago I have noticed my memory seems to be better and I'm certain that my vision has improved ~ I'm using my readers less often. I do Pilates and yoga so am thrilled to take an algal-based supplement that supports mobility. They are eco-friendly and sustainable, which is supremely important.

Living Maia is a high quality product born of truly honorable intentions. The oil seemed to be easily assimilated by my body with no adverse side effects. A great choice for those who choose a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle and for those who appreciate pulsing different avenues of supplemental nutrients.

Best omega supplement out there!

I've been vegan for 15 years and realized it would be wise to start taking an omega supplement. After trying 5 different ones from Amazon, I was getting frustrated because they all upset my stomach. I then did some research and found these from Living Maia and am so thrilled to find that they do not upset my stomach at all! Also, a few of the other supplements were huge, and this one is a very easy to swallow size. I love this product and am so glad to have found it!

Living Maia sets a new standard for omega-3. It’s sourced directly from algae—the way it should be, pure, effective, ethical, and sustainable. There’s no fishy aftertaste and no impact on marine life, a much more pleasant experience and a huge step up from fish oil supplements I’ve taken in the past. I love how it’s designed with real care, with total transparency in the ingredients. Living Maia truly changed the way I think about omega-3 supplements. For anyone who wants to choose something that supports both people and the planet, this is omega-3 done right.

Quick Answers Before You Buy

Why choose algae instead of fish oil?

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.

Does it have a fishy taste or aftertaste?

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.

What makes Living Maia’s omega-3 supplement different?

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.

Do you test for heavy metals and contaminants?

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.

View the current Certificate of Analysis

Are your softgels vegan or plant-based?

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.

How long does a bottle last?

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

Is it safe for pregnancy or breastfeeding?

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.
