More than three-quarters of the global population are not getting enough of this nutrient with one vegan supplement now attracting praise from shoppers
Omega-3 is a nutrient that many people believe they're getting enough of, but research suggests the opposite. A recent study published in November 2025 reveals that over three-quarters of the global population aren't consuming sufficient omega-3, despite its crucial role in joint health, inflammation management and daily mobility.
This deficiency often goes unnoticed, primarily because it can be challenging to get enough omega-3 through a modern diet alone. One supplement that's gaining traction in addressing this issue is Dr Vegan's Omega 3.
For a single purchase, one pouch costs £21.99. However, the best value is found with the subscription option, where customers can receive three pouches every 90 days for £53.09, reduced from £65.97, equating to roughly 59p per day.
Additionally, the brand is currently offering an extra 15% off with the code 'VOM3', bringing the single purchase down to £18.70 and the 90-day subscription option to £45.13. Unlike conventional fish oil supplements, the brand claims that Vegan Omega 3 is derived from algae, which is a fundamental source of omega-3 in the food chain.
This provides a plant-based alternative that sidesteps the environmental impact of industrial fishing, reports the Express. Fish don't actually produce omega-3 themselves; they acquire it from the algae they eat.
By obtaining omega-3 straight from algae, supplements such as this one sidestep trawling and seabed destruction whilst offering a cleaner, more refined oil. Dr Vegan's formulation contains 1,000mg of algae oil per dose, providing an ideal ratio of 300mg DHA and 150mg EPA, the two fatty acids most strongly associated with joint comfort, brain health, heart function and vision, according to the brand.
As it's algae-based, there's no fishy odour or lingering taste, and it steers clear of the contaminants and toxins that can sometimes be present in fish oils. It's also naturally lower in saturated fats when compared to animal-derived omega-3 sources, which matters because higher saturated fat consumption is linked with elevated cholesterol levels.
According to Dr Vegan, omega-3 is required in every cell of the body and contributes to skin health, hormone balance, cognitive function and inflammation management. Dr Vegan's Omega 3 has earned recognition from BBC Good Food as a 'Highly Recommended' supplement and holds an 'Excellent' rating on Trustpilot, with over 6,000 customer reviews.
An alternative, though, is the Essential Omega-3 for £17.99, reduced from £23.49, from MyProtein for 250 soft gels. This offers a variety of benefits, such as being an essential fatty acid, and is described as cost effective and convenient.
Another option is the Solgar Triple Strength Omega-3 100 Softgel Capsules from Holland and Barrett, priced at £62.48. This product is touted as a 'concentrated omega3 supplement providing Solgar's Triple Strength combination of EPA and DHA to support heart health'.
On Trustpilot, customers have given high ratings to the Dr Vegan supplements. One user, Mike Harrison, commented: "It's good for my brain health. The subscription service means I don't run out. Price is competitive. One teensy moan is that the capsules are slightly tacky, and tend to stick to my pill case. But if you don't use a pill case, that won't bother you!"
Mandy Stewart chimed in: "Really helps me and my joints, as I love to regularly work out at the gym. At 54 I've really noticed the difference since taking them."
One customer deducted a star and stated: "High quality supplements, one of the few sellers that offer different types of omega-3s together and produced from clean, tank-grown algae. I didn't know there was a hierarchy of omega-3 supplements, but once I learned better, I found that this product offered the best quality/price ratio. Knocked off one star for communication - if a supplement sells out, it's unclear when the stock will be replenished."
