The Big things that set us apart:
Origins Nutra’s DHA Algal Oil Supplement sets itself apart from traditional fish oil Omega-3 supplements by offering a plant-based, sustainable source of DHA derived from algae. Unlike fish oil, which can sometimes contain contaminants like heavy metals, our algae-derived DHA is clean, and free from the toxins often associated with marine sources.
This plant-based DHA is not only a more environmentally friendly choice but also caters to those following vegetarian or vegan lifestyles. It provides all the same brain, skin, and heart health benefits as fish oil, without the aftertaste or fishy burps commonly experienced with fish-based supplements.

You get the same support for your brain and eyes, without worrying about heavy metals or that fishy aftertaste. It’s clean, gentle on your system, and easy to take.
Is DHA Algal Oil free of contaminants?
Yes, since it is sourced from microalgae, it is free from heavy metals, pollutants, and other contaminants commonly found in fish oil.
Can it be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Yes, DHA is particularly beneficial during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as it supports fetal brain and eye development. However, consult your healthcare provider before use.
Is the softgel capsule also vegetarian?
Yes, the softgel capsule is made from tapioca starch, ensuring it is vegetarian and also suitable for vegan diets.

It is generally well-tolerated when taken as recommended. If you notice any unusual symptoms, consult your healthcare provider.
