Why this certification matters
- Informed Sport
- Informed Sport certification is especially relevant for athletes in tested sports because products are batch-tested for substances prohibited in sport.
Frequently asked questions
- Where does the omega-3 come from?
- Marine algae (microalgae) — the original food-chain source of EPA and DHA that fish accumulate by eating algae. Vegan EPA/DHA supplements bypass the fish step.
- Where can I buy it?
- Healthspan direct at £27.19 (cheaper) and Amazon UK at £31.99.
- Why bother with vegan omega-3?
- Vegan options exist for vegans, pescatarians who avoid fish, and those who prefer algae sourcing on environmental grounds. Cost per mg of EPA/DHA is typically higher than fish-oil equivalents.
- Is it Informed Sport tested?
- Yes — every batch screened against the WADA banned-substance list.
- How does the EPA/DHA split compare to fish oil?
- Algae-sourced omega-3 is often DHA-dominant or DHA-only, while fish oils typically supply more EPA. Check the live label for the per-softgel EPA/DHA split.
