For omega-3 index, Algae Omega-3 earns evidence grade B (moderate effect, high consistency) — there is real evidence here. Reliable in vegans

It raises the omega-3 index the same way fish oil does, bypassing the poor conversion of plant ALA (from flax/chia) into EPA/DHA.

Dose to ~250–1,000 mg combined EPA+DHA daily depending on goal.

Safe and sustainable; mild antiplatelet effect at high doses.

The right omega-3 for plant-based eaters — flax and chia won't convert enough. Dose to EPA+DHA, expect to pay more than fish oil.

As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
