Description:

DEVA Vegan Omega-3 DHA is a quality product derived from algae and packaged in non-animal softgels made from carrageenan and starch. This makes an excellent alternative to fish oil and can be confidently used by vegetarians and vegans alike. Vegans are particularly prone to diets low in omega-3 fatty acids. DHA is a long chain polyunsaturated omega-3 oil. It is an essential fatty acid, meaning that the body doesn’t produce it by itself and it must be obtained in the diet. It is known to be a major building block of human brain tissue and eye tissue, and studies have shown it may help cognition in Alzheimer’s disease.1 In fact, the human brain consists of about sixty percent fat and essential fatty acids like DHA are vital to its structure and function. DHA has been found to be crucial to fetal brain development, as well as the brain development of infants and children. It is also known to affect the heart and enhance stroke volume and cardiac output during exercise.2 This is just one of many studies that have shown that it helps improve cardiovascular health* DHA has been found to also help cardiovascular health by reducing triglyceride levels and raising HDL (good) cholesterol levels.3 Unfortunately, our Western diet likely does not contain adequate amounts of DHA and fish oils may contain pollutants like mercury and dioxin.4 Pollutants may be retained in fish oils collected from contaminated fish unless thorough distillation and filtration are employed

5Looks like gelatin based capsules  Mar 06, 2010
By Howard Roth "book shnook"
Whether the DHA is doing anything for me I can't say for sure. I do think I finish newspaper puzzles faster because of it, but that's not based on any scientific study. What I like about these capsules is that they look fresh. A previous version of these used a casing that looked like the capsules were quite old and seemed rigid, if not more difficult to swallow. These are not unlike my wife's gelatin based capsules. As a committed vegetarian (who would have thought that I would out myself on Amazon) it was important to not use animal products at all and DEVA's product lives up to that and the quality of the product is an added bonus.

5Finally, a Vegan DHA Product!  Apr 14, 2010
By L. Ocasio
Love, love, love this product! I have been looking for a vegan DHA ever since my naturopathic physician suggested I take this supplement (the one he recommended came in a gelatin based capsule that I had to squeeze the contents out of which was completely nauseating). DEVA uses high-quality DHA that doesn't leave any aftertaste or negative side effects. The capsules glide down your throat with ease and I feel like this supplement is helpful for my body.

5Great source of DHA  Apr 13, 2011
By Tom Lundberg
DEVA Vegan Vitamins Vegan DHA (Algae) 200mg Vegan Softgels, 90-Count Bottle

Without two or three servings of fish weekly, it is very difficult to get enough DHA in the diet. I am allergic to many fish and fish oils making it almost impossible. Omega 3 oils include both EPA and DHA. I take ground flax seed to obtain the EPA but it does not have the DHA needed. Krill Oil is considerably more expensive, and has 1/5th the DHA of DEVA Algae oil.

I strongly suggest avoiding "discount" suppliers of the algae oil. Some of these reviews note a strong or unpleasant flavor or taste - as well as capsules that are hard or fishy. These are indicative of "old" product which SHOULD BE RETURNED. For a product like this, you should always check the "Seller Ratings" and DO NOT PURCHASE BASED ON PRICE (like I did). If the seller has negative ratings for very late shipping, sending the wrong product, or sending old product, they are a discounter and SHOULD BE AVOIDED.

Overall, this is a wonderful product.

5Preggo safe :)  May 09, 2011
By D. Patel "SpeedReader"
I was concerned about the reviews that said this pill had a fishy taste/smell. However, with being vegetarian I am hell-bent in getting my baby and myself the proper nutrients so I went with it. Man, was I glad I did!. It's been almost a year and am now on the tail end of my pregnancy and I am still very happy with this pill. It didn't even bother me through my first trimester nausea. I did take a tip from another reviewer and refrigerate the pills right away. If you're on the fence about trying this out, I think you should go ahead and go for it.

5Happy this exists!  Jan 18, 2011
By NGinSF
So great to have an option for DHA that is not fish oil based especially if you're vegetarian and especially if you're pregnant. Capsules are easy to swallow and no weird burping afterwards like with fish oil. The bottle label may look different than the picture but the contents seem to be the same.
