If any brand deserves to shout about their premium products from the rooftops, it’s Vegetology. They’ve certainly earned their bragging rights!
Their passion for creating health products that benefit both you and the planet is nothing short of heroic.
We recently enjoyed a chat with them about their outstanding contributions and their award-winning Omega-3, and here’s the scoop!
Hello and a huge warm welcome to the blog!
Let's kick things off by diving into the story behind Vegetology. What inspired the creation of the brand?
It all started with a simple but powerful idea: people shouldn’t have to choose between their values and their health. Traditional supplements, especially Omega-3s, often came from unsustainable sources like fish oil, leaving vegans, vegetarians, and environmentally conscious consumers with limited and compromised options. We knew there had to be a better way so we set out to create a range of high-quality, high-purity supplements that cater to everyone, no matter their location, dietary choices, or lifestyle. Our goal was to fill nutritional gaps with real solutions - free from greenwashing - while prioritising sustainability and ethical sourcing, without ever compromising on quality or purity.
Well, hats off to you! You've not only reached your goal but also snagged a loyal fanbase, and are the go-to supplement brand for many in the vegan community. What do you think sets you apart as such a trusted choice?
Our wonderful customers are at the heart of what we do. We don’t just make vegan-suitable supplements; we try to push the limits of science to create the best possible versions of them. Our ingredients are rigorously researched, sustainably sourced, and meet the highest quality standards, with approvals from the Vegan Society and Vegetarian Society. Plus, we never settle. We’re always innovating, improving, and asking, “What’s next?” so we can find more nutritional solutions for our customers.
That definitely shows!...Moving on to Omega-3s: the superheroes of the supplement world! Why should we all be rolling out the red carpet for these fatty acids? Are they really that important?
Absolutely! Omega-3s are like the unsung heroes of overall health. Omega-3s should really be considered as vitamins. They play a crucial role in brain function, heart health, eye health, and even inflammation management. The problem is, most people aren’t getting enough, and traditional sources - like fish oil - come with environmental and ethical concerns. That’s why our algae-based Omega-3 is such a game changer. It’s sustainable, vegan, and packed with the right essential fatty acids your body needs.
Amazing! And can you break down the roles of EPA and DHA in our bodies and why your supplement includes both?
Of course! Think of EPA and DHA as the dream team of Omega-3s.
DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) is crucial for brain health, cognitive function, and eye health. It’s a major structural component of the brain and retina.
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) is more about keeping inflammation in check and supporting heart health. It helps regulate mood, joint health, and cardiovascular function.
Traditional plant-sources of Omega-3 such as Flax, Chia, Hemp and Walnuts contain Omega-3 as ALA (Alpha-Linoleic Acid). The body needs to convert this ALA to be utilised, but that conversion is very low and inconsistent. Conversion from ALA to EPA is up to 5% and conversion from ALA to DHA is up to 0.5%. To put it into perspective with an example, one would need around a month’s supply of a Flax supplement to obtain the same equivalent amount of EPA and DHA as one single dose of our Omega-3 product.Most Algal Omega-3 supplements only include DHA, but we knew that wasn’t enough. Our high-strength formula includes both EPA and DHA to give you the full spectrum of benefits. Most Algal Omega-3s are actually extracted using harsh solvents such as hexane, whereas our process does not require any such negative items.
Mind officially blown! We're super appreciative that you're rallying the dream team for us then! We're also curious about your algae cultivation process. How do you grow it to ensure quality and sustainability?
The algae are grown in controlled environments, so it’s free from ocean pollutants like heavy metals and microplastics (a big concern with fish and fish oils). The process is completely sustainable - algae naturally produce Omega-3s, so there’s no need to deplete fish populations. Plus, because they are grown in a purified environment, the highest quality and potency can be guaranteed, with zero contamination.
That's fantastic! And as if that weren't enough, your Omega-3 supplement flaunts a high-strength formula. Care to share the secret behind that impressive potency?
No cutting corners, and squeezing every last drop out of those algae! We’ve spent years perfecting our formulation to ensure maximum Omega-3 content per dose. The extraction process preserves the purity and potency of the Omega-3s, achieving this without the need for any harsh solvents. The result? A supplement with a high concentration of both EPA and DHA that delivers real benefits.
Speaking of benefits, who would benefit the most from taking your omega-3 supplement? Are there specific groups you recommend it for?
Honestly? Almost everyone. But if we had to highlight key groups:
Vegans & vegetarians: Since they don’t consume fish, they miss out on EPA and DHA.
Expecting & new mothers: DHA is vital for fetal brain development.
Anyone focused on heart & brain health: Omega-3s support cardiovascular function and cognitive performance.
Athletes & active individuals: Omega-3s are known to help reduce inflammation and support joint health.
Anyone concerned about fish stocks and purity: No-one takes Fish Oil supplements because they like eating fish! A lot of our customers take our Omega-3 product because they want all of the benefits they would get from Fish or Fish Oil, but from a high purity option that doesn’t impact the ocean or its ecosystem.
It really is a powerhouse supplement for all stages of life.
Woah! This is definitely a product that everyone could use, and the fact that yours boasts a non-fishy taste is a game changer! Can you elaborate on the capsule form and its fast absorption?
Our softgel capsules are made from plant-based materials and are designed for optimal digestion and absorption. Plus, since our Omega-3s come from algae, there’s zero fishy aftertaste - just pure, clean nutrition.
Naturally, that's how it ought to be, right! So, besides Omega-3, what other supplements from Vegetology do you think are essential for daily health? And, most importantly, where can people get their hands on your products?
