Algae oil (Schizochytrium sp.), vegan softgel (hydroxypropyl starch, glycerol, carrageenan, purified water), high oleic sunflower oil, d-alpha-tocopherol.

The recommended daily dose (1 softgel) contains:

Omega-3 fatty acids
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) – 325 mg
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) – 150 mg
   DPA (docosapentaenoic acid) – 35 mg
Vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) – 6 mg (50% NRV)

NRV: Nutrient Reference Value

Dosage
To support health in combination with a healthy diet, we recommend taking 1 capsule per day. Taking one capsule of DHA & EPA per day is equivalent to eating fatty fish twice a week. In some cases, physicians may recommend larger quantities. Consult your ideal intake with your healthcare provider.

Intake
Preferably, take one or two capsules with a meal. When you take algae oil with healthy fats, your body can use more of the omega-3s, and more remains in your system over time. Food also helps the capsule find its way into the stomach more quickly. However, if you experience burping or bloating, you can try taking it before a meal.

You may also consider cutting open the capsule with scissors or a knife, or piercing it with a needle to add it to your foods. Mix the oil with coconut or almond milk, lemon-flavored yogurt, or a smoothie made with banana and almond milk, to keep the taste neutral.

Store in a dry, dark place and keep out of reach of young children.

Are Testa capsules made of vegan EPA & DHA?

Yes! Testa capsules are 100% plant-based, including the capsule itself. We’re committed to promoting a healthy vegan lifestyle, free from fish or seafood. Every detail of our product is designed with marine life in mind, ensuring sustainability at every step.

Why choose algae oil over fish oil?

If you want to enjoy the benefits of omega-3s without compromising our oceans or worrying about the heavy metals found in fish, algae oil is for you. While fish accumulate omega-3s by consuming algae, they also absorb heavy metals from their polluted environment. Extracting fish oil requires extensive processing to remove these toxins.

We take a different approach—growing our algae on land, under controlled conditions. This ensures a cleaner, more sustainable product, which we rigorously test for purity and quality.

Should I take DHA or EPA?

Both DHA and EPA support heart, brain, and eye health, and they work best together. EPA is great for heart health, and DHA supports this benefit, while also boosting brain and eye function. If you’re focused on brain health, children’s nutrition, or pregnancy, DHA may be the simpler, more affordable choice. Learn more about Testa DHA capsules here!

Who is Testa DHA & EPA made for?

These capsules are great for adults and seniors, especially those looking for a sustainable, fish-free omega-3 source. If you’re browsing omega-3s for children, we recommend Testa DHA, which supports healthy brain development!

Does Testa DHA & EPA contain iodine?

No, Testa capsules contain minimal iodine. Our algae omega-3s come from Schizochytrium sp., a type of microalgae that doesn’t accumulate iodine. A 2016 test found only 0.00061716 mg of iodine per capsule.

Why does Testa use blister packs?

Here are the three reasons we went with blister packs:

To prioritize freshness: Omega-3s can oxidize easily. That’s why we take freshness seriously. Opting for airtight, individually-packaged capsules allows us to guarantee the shelf life better than any other algae oil brand.

To ensure optimal quality: Omega-3 fatty acids are sensitive to light, UV radiation, moisture, and air. Using blisters preserves their quality and ensures you’re getting the benefits you want.

We offset our plastic production: Thanks to our partners at rePurpose Global, we collect twice the plastic we produce, keeping it out of our oceans!

Plastic is a major threat to our oceans, and we understand our responsibility to preserve marine ecosystems by reducing waste. We are committed to finding solutions that will allow us to deliver the highest-quality product with the lowest impact on our seas.
