Omega-3 Supplements

The flesh of small, wild, oily fish! All our fish oils are pure, certified sustainable and with very high EPA & DHA levels. They’re easily digested. With no added, unnecessary ingredients and free from additives. You can find the full list of ingredients on every omega-3 product page.

Omega-3 offers diverse health benefits including heart health support, reduced inflammation, improved brain function, and better mental well-being. Regular consumption through supplements is recommended to enjoy these advantages, as the body cannot produce omega-3s on its own.

This guide delves into the best products for your needs to help you pick. If you’re struggling with info overload because, let’s face it, they all look pretty similar if you’re not a seasoned supplement user,  book a free product specialist consultation with our in-house Nutritional Therapist, Kirsten. Or, message our team via the live chat bubble (bottom corner of the screen), or email info@barebiology.com. Our customer service team are literally the nicest people and will make you feel heard.

You can find the recommended doses in the ‘ingredients tab’ of our omega-3 product pages and of course, our packaging. If you’d like a personalised dose, best to take an omega-3 blood test, or consult with a nutritional therapist.

There's no strict rule for when you should take omega-3 supplements, so you can choose a time that fits your routine best. Some people prefer taking them with a meal to help with absorption (which we advise), whilst others find it more convenient to take them separately. Ultimately, consistency in taking them daily matters more than the specific time.

Feeling the benefits of omega-3 supplements can vary depending on individual factors and the specific goals you're looking to achieve by taking them. While some may see improvements within a few weeks (often noticed in joints and skin), other benefits like cardiovascular health or cognitive function may take several months of consistent use to become apparent.

You can get ALA from vegetable sources but your body converts less than 5% of it into EPA and DHA. Which is why fish oil or algae omega-3 supplements are what you need.

For vegans, algae-based supplements are the best source of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA.  

Vim & Vigour is a powerful vegan omega-3 supplement enriched with astaxanthin for added benefits. It addresses all your essential omega-3 requirements, including EPA and DHA, and is sourced sustainably from algae and independently certified for purity and freshness. 

Very high doses may upset your stomach, but this is quite rare, especially if you take omega-3 with food or split your dose across the day. Of course, you should check with your doctor before taking if you are:

•On any medication, such as blood thinners.

• You have a health condition, or are about to have surgery.

If you’re allergic to fish, you need to avoid fish oils, but you can take the algae-based Vim & Vigour. If you’re sensitive to citrus, you should avoid liquids and take capsules with no added flavour.

For more allergy advice or information about our ingredients, read our Allergen Statement. 

To our knowledge, omega-3s are fine to take alongside other supplements, provided they’re not already contributing to your omega-3 intake.

It’s important to check with your doctor before taking omega-3 if you are:

• On any medication, such as blood thinners.

• Are about to have surgery.

• Have health concerns or conditions.

Yes! And we highly recommend it. Mums & Bumps has essential omega-3 for both mum and baby. It’s a one-a-day capsule and contains as much DHA as a full tin of sardines, vital for healthy brain and eye development. Plus, it's independently certified for purity and guaranteed mercury-free, ensuring peace of mind for mothers.

If you’re at all worried or have any pregnancy-related health condition, it’s wise to check with your doctor or midwife before taking a supplement.
