Product Description
Package Quantity: 1
As an alternative to fish oil DEVA Omega-3 DHA is appreciated by vegans, vegetarians and anyone who would like to benefit from DHA as derived from algae. DHA is an omega-3, long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid and it is one of the major building blocks of the human brain tissue and retina. DHA is one of the most prominent structural fatty acids in both the brain and the retina. The DHA used in this product is derived from algae grown under sanitary manufacturing conditions. The algae oil used in our product is extracted from the algae without the use of hexane. It is clean, safe and free of ocean borne contaminants. DEVA Omega-3 DHA is 100% vegan, vegetarian and is certified by the Vegan Society, the non-profit organization that actually invented the word "vegan".

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.

It is hard to rate a product like this!
It is hard to say if this is working as it is, supposedly, working on a cellular level. I do not notice any negative side effects so I'll assume all is in order. Read more

Bad product
It claims to be "non-fish" yet it reeks and tastes of fish! I'll never buy it again. Their quality control leaves much to be desired.

Horrible Taste!
I bought these instead of the standard vegan DEVA DHA because they were cheaper at the time, and it was a big mistake! Read more

Very good!
It feels good! Have not had the blood test as yet after taking it to see its effect. Hope it works and it appears a great substitute for vegans

Strong "fishy" taste
We were looking for a vegetarian source of DHA and have tried several brands. This brand has a "fishy" flavor whereas other brands we have tried did not. Read more

OK, but tastes terrible
I take it for the Vegan DHA, but the capsules smell and task of the algae they use to make it. Kind of hold my nose and take it.

Not bad, but...
We are looking for a product DHA extracted from other than fish. This product met our needs, though the taste is very strong.
