Product Quality

Pros:

  • "I love all Sports Research products."
  • "These vegan gel capsules contain algae based omega 3 oils along with a couple of vitamin compounds (C and E), rosemary extract, vegetable glycerin, tapioca extract, and sunflower seed oil."
  • "The product is great. I switched to Algae oil from fish oil and I’m and very happy knowing it is more sustainable, closer to the source, and less likely to contain toxins."
  • "Really helps with joint mobility and brain health."
  • "These are great, and I've been taking them for 6 months. My blood work just gets better and I have no side effects, no stomach or gas problems."
  • "I am really impressed with these softgels. I couldn't tolerate the fishy aftertaste of traditional fish oil capsules, so I was really looking forward to trying these."
  • "I feel better overall than I did during the first month of vegan-keto."

Cons:

  • "I think these must be stored in a non-temp controlled warehouse somewhere. When you get a fresh bottle, this is a great product! But I've now had more rancid, rotten-fish-smelling bottles from Amazon than good bottles."
  • "The first time I ordered this it was great. All fish oil smells a little fishy, but my second bottle, maybe because it arrived on a sweltering day, was very fishy smelling and I’ve been reluctant to take any since rancid *fish* oil is probably worse for you than none at all…"
  • "I am days past the return window but will not purchase this company's products again."
  • "I won't be ordering these again. Not taking the chance on wasted money. Will find something else from somewhere else."
  • "This is very fishy smelling, and I have been sick both days taking it with diarrhea and vomiting."
  • "I received it yesterday and I took one an hour later and 2 hours later I started bleeding profusely from a minor little cut to then half and hour later I started having chest pain and a burning sensation on my chest."
  • "I decided to try these, but unfortunately, every time I take these pills, for the next few days I feel extremely lagging, tired, weak, and overall pretty bad in general."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Picked this supplement because it was good combination of price and good ingredients."
  • "So far, have been very happy with the product and especially at a good price compared to alternatives!"
  • "Great vegan source of EPA and DHA. Third-party tested and good quantity of high-quality Omega-3s at a very reasonable price."
  • "This product hits a nice price point with a nice product."
  • "Great price."
  • "The price for such a valuable product cannot be beat as well!"
  • "Fabulous product with high omega content at much lower price than competitors!"

Cons:

  • "The problem with algal-based DHA is always that it has been expensive as all get-out."
  • "It works like other vegan fish oil replacements we have bought, but pricey for the amount you get."
  • "I think it’s a little pricey for the amount but the quality is good."
  • "Pricy. $20 dollars only gets you a 30-day supply of this product. That breaks down to 240 dollars per year for a single supplement."
  • "Been using it for a while and it works but can’t say it’s an excellent product because it contains the seed oil (sunflower)."
  • "I’ve received two bottles now that have had capsules broken and then glued together so there is loose algae oil in the bottle."
  • "I used flaxseed oil from same brand but this time i wanted to try vegan omega. unfortunately this product gave me sharp headache and some pain in abdominal area."

Customer Experience

Pros:

  • "I love that it’s from algae and not fish and that the capsules are veggie based."
  • "They're also tasteless and easy to swallow."
  • "The capsules aren’t too big, no aftertaste, and has high levels of DHA and EPA. I also love that it’s carrageenan free!"
  • "I can say I’m glad I found them."
  • "I’ve been looking for a vegan omega supplement with a high DHA and EPA content for a while. I came across this product and brand, and I’ve been ordering from them ever since!"
  • "The Vegan Omega-3 Fish Oil Alternative sourced from Algae Oil does not cause me any problems."
  • "Nothing negative to say, just happy to have found a good quality Vegan Omega 3. The pills aren't too bad to swallow but they are a little big."

Cons:

  • "I was VERY allergic to this supplement and the effects of the allergic reaction would begin to appear within 10 minutes of consuming the product."
  • "I have taken these for over a year with no problem. However, the last couple of bottles have had a SUPER STRONG fishy smell."
  • "This seems like a common issue, but the Third Party testing shows that the dose of Omega-3 per serving is significantly lower than what is advertised and shown on the bottle."
  • "I do notice that the pills stick together a bit in the bottle despite the moisture absorbing packet that is inside."
  • "Literally haven't seen a single benefit from taking these."
  • "There is now a heart shaped rubber fragrance thing added to this product to mask the oil smell."
  • "I won't be ordering these again. Not taking the chance on wasted money. Will find something else from somewhere else."
