Omega-3 DHA and EPA 30 Capsules by Ritual delivers a science-backed 500mg dose of vegan Omega-3 fatty acids from sustainably sourced microalgae in a 2:1 DHA to EPA ratio, formulated to support healthy brain function, cardiovascular function, and normal inflammatory response in a single daily capsule designed for minimal burp-back.
Key Benefits of Omega-3 DHA and EPA Microalgae-Sourced Fatty Acids
-
DHA (308mg per serving): Docosahexaenoic acid is a predominant structural fatty acid in the brain and retina, supporting healthy cognitive function, normal visual acuity, and neurological health throughout adulthood.
-
EPA (154mg per serving): Eicosapentaenoic acid supports a healthy inflammatory response, normal cardiovascular function, and healthy mood regulation, complementing the neurological benefits of DHA in the 2:1 ratio found in a healthy Mediterranean dietary pattern.
-
Science-Backed 2:1 DHA to EPA Ratio: The 500mg total Omega-3 dose is formulated in a 2:1 DHA to EPA ratio, reflecting the proportions associated with a healthy Mediterranean diet and supported by the broader Omega-3 research literature.
-
Cardiovascular Function Support: Omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA support healthy triglyceride levels, normal vascular tone, and healthy cardiovascular function as part of a balanced diet and lifestyle.
-
Brain Health and Cognitive Function: DHA is a critical structural component of neuronal cell membranes, supporting healthy synaptic function, normal cognitive performance, and healthy brain aging.
-
Vegan Microalgae Source: DHA and EPA are synthesized by microalgae, not fish. Ritual sources its Omega-3 oil directly from Schizochytrium sp. microalgae harvested in La Foret-Fouesnant, France, bypassing the fish supply chain entirely and providing a sustainable, vegan-compatible Omega-3 source.
-
Patented Oxidation-Reduction Technology: The Omega-3 oil is formulated with patented technology designed to reduce oxidation, a key factor in Omega-3 freshness and efficacy, and infused with organic orange oil to support a minimal burp-back experience.
-
Traceable Ingredient Sourcing: The microalgae Omega-3 oil is sourced from La Foret-Fouesnant, France, consistent with Ritual's Made Traceable standard of full supply chain disclosure.
Why This Formula Matters
Most Omega-3 supplements on the market are derived from fish oil, which introduces concerns about sustainability, heavy metal contamination, and suitability for vegan and vegetarian consumers. Ritual's Omega-3 DHA and EPA goes directly to the original source: the microalgae from which fish accumulate their Omega-3 content, providing a cleaner, more sustainable, and fully vegan-compatible alternative at clinically relevant doses. The patented oxidation-reduction technology addresses one of the most common quality issues in Omega-3 supplementation, as oxidized fish or algal oil can produce the burp-back and rancid taste that many consumers associate with Omega-3 supplements, and the inclusion of organic orange oil further supports a pleasant daily experience that promotes consistent use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Ritual's Omega-3 sourced from microalgae instead of fish?
DHA and EPA Omega-3 fatty acids are originally synthesized by microalgae, not fish. Fish accumulate Omega-3s by consuming microalgae in the marine food chain. By sourcing directly from microalgae, Ritual's Omega-3 bypasses the fish supply chain entirely, providing a vegan-compatible, sustainably produced Omega-3 that avoids the heavy metal and environmental contamination concerns associated with fish-derived oils. The microalgae are harvested from La Foret-Fouesnant, France, using an extraction process designed with environmental considerations in mind.
What is the DHA to EPA ratio in Ritual's Omega-3 and why does it matter?
Each capsule provides 308mg of DHA and 154mg of EPA, a 2:1 ratio that reflects the Omega-3 proportions associated with a healthy Mediterranean dietary pattern and supported by the broader clinical research literature on Omega-3 fatty acids. DHA is the predominant Omega-3 in the brain and retina, while EPA plays a more prominent role in supporting a healthy inflammatory response and cardiovascular function. The 2:1 ratio is designed to support both neurological and cardiovascular health priorities in a single daily dose.
What does the patented oxidation-reduction technology do?
Omega-3 oils are susceptible to oxidation, which can degrade their quality, reduce their efficacy, and produce the unpleasant burp-back and rancid taste that many people associate with Omega-3 supplements. Ritual's patented technology is designed to reduce oxidation of the microalgae oil, helping to maintain freshness and potency. The addition of organic orange oil further supports a pleasant taste experience and minimizes burp-back, making daily use more consistent and comfortable.
How should Omega-3 DHA and EPA 30 Capsules be taken?
The suggested use is one capsule taken once daily, with or without food, for adults 18 and older. Each bottle contains 30 capsules, providing a 30-day supply. Capsules may be taken in the morning or evening.
Is Ritual's Omega-3 suitable for vegans and vegetarians?
Yes. The Omega-3 oil is derived entirely from microalgae, with no fish or animal-derived ingredients. The capsule shell is made from hypromellose, making it fully vegan. The formula contains no dairy, gluten, nuts, or soy.
