Vegans and vegetarians have two barriers to obtaining DHA: It is commonly derived from fish (coldwater fish) and when supplied in easy-to-swallow capsules, is encapsulated in gelatin. Of course, vegans/vegetarians won't consume either.
Then again, even though DHA is converted from ALA (flaxseed sourced) in the body, the conversion is hindered by the processing of non-alpha linoleic acid (LA). So the safest bet is to get DHA directly. If you're vegetarian/vegan and prefer to not consume fish juice and bone jelly (gelatin) then this product is perfect for you.
The DHA is sourced from algae, probably the same algae that provide DHA to fish, and is delivered in v-caps, vegan capsules that don't use animal gelatin. Some doctors consider this a purer form and recommend algal DHA to children and pregnant mothers.
Be aware that there is a light fishy smell so if that bothers you, swallow quickly.

Nice to have a DHA for vegans. I keep the bottle in the freezer and take the capsules in the middle of a meal directly from the freezer. I find that eliminates the fishy burping.

I have been using this product for over two years. It is enteric coated so it helps with the fishy aftertaste. Algae smells like fish so there is a slight fishy smell but no fishy burping after you swallow. I recommend it.

These make me gag!
I don't know why DEVA quit making the "enteric coated", non-lemon flavored version of their DHA, with the dark purple label - those didn't taste bad at all - you could see the... Read more

It's non-fish but it smells and tastes like .... FISH!
These capsules have a horrible fish taste and smell. And that is especially gross for vegans! Even your hands will smell like fish just from holding the capsule for a second. Read more

I think what I've read here is true!
They DO taste of the sea but I usually take with flavored tea or juice to minimize the taste. Making a face also helps! It's just one quick swallow. Read more

Something's fishy
I usually order the Softgels, but went for the Vcaps this time around (as the Softgels were not available via subscribe and save). That was a mistake. Read more

Taste is too overwhelming - try other style of DHA from Deva
Amazon stopped offering subscribe-and-save for the Deva DHA pills that don't taste like you're licking pond scum. Read more

Gives me the fishy burps. Prefer the cheaper softgel version instead.
I've tried both the delayed release version and the softgel version. The softgel version is more palatable - no smell and no fishy burps. Read more

Completely satisfied.
A vegan source of DHA, in Vcaps. There is no need to eat fish to get this nutrient. The fish get DHA from eating algae in the first place.
