Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Plant-Based

Most plant-based athletes assume that if they don't eat fish, flaxseed and chia seeds have them covered. They don't. ALA, the omega-3 found in plant seeds, converts to EPA at roughly 5–10% at best, and to DHA at less than 1% in most people. That means your body might convert 100mg of ALA into 5mg of usable EPA. The math doesn't work, and most plant-based athletes are significantly omega-3 deficient as a result without knowing it.

The fix isn't eating more flax. It's going directly to the original source — microalgae.

Fish don't make omega-3s. They accumulate them by eating algae. Ultimate Omega Plant-Based skips the fish entirely and goes straight to the source, delivering 660mg EPA and 440mg DHA per serving from sustainably grown Schizochytrium microalgae in a high-potency formula that matches the clinical dose of Nordic Naturals' best-selling Ultimate Omega fish oil. Same omega-3 concentration. No fish. No compromise.

Therapeutic EPA and DHA Without the Fish — 1,210mg of algae-derived omega-3s per serving means you're finally getting the dose that makes a difference. Heart health, brain function, inflammation management, immune support — the research behind EPA and DHA applies equally whether it comes from fish or algae. 

The Source That Matters for the Planet — Microalgae is grown in controlled, land-based fermentation facilities, using no ocean resources and producing no bycatch. Conventional fish oil production puts pressure on marine ecosystems. This formula eliminates that entirely — it's why their sustainability is built into the supply chain, not just the marketing.

Zero Fishy Taste, Zero Animal Ingredients — The soft gel capsule is made from modified cornstarch, not gelatin. Both the oil and the capsule are fully vegan. No lemon flavoring is needed to mask fishiness because there's nothing to mask — the oil is clean and essentially tasteless.

Third-party tested for purity and freshness, non-GMO verified, certified vegan, no gluten, no milk derivatives, no synthetic dyes. Two soft gels with food — the same daily routine as any fish oil, without the fish.

How to Use Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Plant-Based

Daily: Two soft gels with food, at the same time each day.

Take with your largest meal for best absorption. The fat in the meal improves uptake of the omega-3s — same principle as fish oil, same logic applies here.
