Nordic Naturals Algae Omega
Updated Nov 8, 2026 ยท Top Omega 3 oils
6.6/10
Our score
Best for A vegan omega-3, with a lower and less specific EPA figure than the fish oils above.
Nordic Naturals Algae Omega is the vegan bottle, listed at 715 mg from algae instead of fish. Algae oil is usually mostly DHA unless the back of the bottle says otherwise. Read that split before you treat 715 mg as an EPA figure. The brand's batch-certificate practice is the same story as its fish oil. This is the bottle for someone who will not swallow fish.
