Nordic Naturals Algae DHA is a source of omega-3 DHA from the oil of the marine microalga Schizochytrium sp., with no fish oil. Each 2-softgel serving provides 500 mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), in triglyceride form.
DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA.
Algal oil is an alternative to fish oil for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet, or who prefer not to consume fish. The softgel is plant-based (modified corn starch and carrageenan), gelatine-free and unflavoured.
Each pack contains 60 softgels (30 servings).
Take 2 softgels per day with food.

Yes. The DHA comes from microalgae oil and the softgel is made from modified corn starch and carrageenan, with no gelatine or fish oil.
Algal oil provides DHA directly. ALA, found in flaxseed or walnuts, is a different omega-3 fatty acid, and its conversion into DHA in the body is limited.
Nordic Naturals recommends 2 softgels per day with food.
