Third-party verified

We didn't grade ourselves.

Omega-3 labels often list "algal oil" and leave you to guess how much DHA is actually inside. We sent Energize & Focus to Unbox Health, an independent testing platform, to check. It came back rated A+, with 246.7 mg of DHA measured per softgel, within 2% of the 250 mg on our label.

Inside every softgel

Every ingredient, and exactly what it does.

250 mg is not a random number: it is the daily DHA amount recognised in EFSA's scientific opinion on normal brain function and vision.¹

The hero ingredient

Your first 12 weeks

Nutrients that work every day. DHA that builds over 12 weeks.

Energize & Focus works on two timelines. The B-vitamins and minerals do their job every day; the DHA builds up in your body over weeks. Here is what the evidence shows for each.

  1. Every day · Authorised nutrient claims

    Energy nutrients in every softgel

    B-vitamins, vitamin C, iron and magnesium support normal energy-yielding metabolism. Vitamin B5 supports normal mental performance, and iron, zinc and iodine support normal cognitive function.

    Energy metabolism Supported
    Mental performance Supported

    EFSA-authorised nutrient claims · each nutrient ≥15% of RDA⁵

  2. Week 4 · 8 clinical trials

    Less tiredness, less stress

    Across 8 placebo-controlled trials lasting at least 4 weeks, healthy adults taking vitamin and mineral supplements reported significantly less fatigue and stress than those on placebo.

    Fatigue Lower
    Stress Lower

    8 RCTs · ≥28 days · healthy adults · various formulas⁶

  3. Week 5 · At our exact dose

    Blood DHA rises

    With 250 mg algal DHA a day, blood DHA rose versus placebo in every group: +124% in vegans, +59% in vegetarians, +24% in fish-eaters.

    Rise in blood DHA vs placebo
    Vegans+124%
    Vegetarians+59%
    Fish-eaters+24%

    250 mg Schizochytrium DHA · 5 weeks · 98 adults³

  4. Weeks 12–16

    DHA builds into your cells

    Red blood cell membranes, the standard marker of long-term omega-3 status, take about 12 to 16 weeks to reach a new steady level. 250 mg DHA a day is the amount EFSA links to maintaining normal brain function.

    Omega-3 kinetics research⁴ · EFSA scientific opinion¹

Why we recommend 3 months
DHA takes 12 weeks or more to build into your cells. The 3-month pack covers a full 12-week routine, and saves you 27%.

These are findings from published studies and authorised nutrient claims, not a promise of individual results. Some studies used different formulas or algal oils from other suppliers.

Clean nutrition. Clear conscience.

Fish get their omega-3 from algae. So do we.

Going straight to the original source means no fish in the supply chain — and nothing taken from the sea.

  • ef bioreactor

    Zero ocean harvesting

    Our DHA comes from cultivated microalgae. No fish are caught to make it.

  • ef tubes

    A lighter footprint

    Lifecycle research estimates algae-based omega-3 at roughly 30–40% lower climate impact than fish oil.*

  • Footprint we measure

    We measure our full footprint with the SME Climate Hub carbon calculator: 35.07 tonnes CO₂e across Scopes 1–3 in FY 2025–26, of which 1.968 t came from our own operations. See the full report →

Plastic Collective Certified: 100 grams prevented from entering oceans per product sold

Plastic neutral: collecting plastic equal to our usage.

We’ve funded the collection of 1 tonne (1,000 kg) of plastic from the environment, at least as much as our estimated plastic footprint for 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The collection is done by the ASASE Foundation in Ghana, a project certified under Verra’s Plastic Waste Reduction Standard, and the credit was retired in our name on the Verra Registry.

The project is also certified for collecting ocean-bound plastic within 50 km of waterways and the sea, and for paying its waste pickers at least 10% above market price.

*1,000 kg of Verra-certified collection divided by our forecast sales of 9,000 products for October 2026 to September 2027 comes to about 111 g per product, rounded down to 100 g. Plastic Collective checks our actual sales every year, and we buy more credits before we pass 10,000 products.

What our customers say

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Still unsure? Write to our nutrition team.

Will it cause fishy burps like fish oil?

No. Our DHA comes from algae, not fish, and is refined for stability — so there's no fishy aftertaste. The shell carries a light lemon essence.

How much DHA is really in one softgel?

250 mg of DHA, from 420 mg of algal oil at 60% DHA. Unbox Health's independent test measured 246.7 mg per softgel; the report is available to download above.

Why DHA from algae instead of fish?

Fish get their DHA by eating algae. Going straight to algae keeps it vegan, fish-free and free of ocean harvesting.

Can I take it on an empty stomach?

You can, but we recommend taking it with food for better absorption and comfort.

I already take a multivitamin. Can I take both?

Check the nutrient overlap with a healthcare professional so your combined totals stay within safe limits.

Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any supplement during pregnancy or nursing.

Can children take it?

This formula is designed for adults. For children, please consult a paediatrician.

What if I miss a dose?

Take your next dose as usual. Don't double up.
