This award-winning Omega-3 EPA & DHA product is a 100% vegan and vegetarian alternative to fish oils. Vitashine Vegan Vitamin D3 was launched in 2011 following lengthy research. This is the first 100% plant-based, Vegan Society registered Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol). VegVit was launched in 2013. This followed a long-term research program into vitamin and mineral bioavailable and absorption rates.

VegVit is not only a perfect multivitamin supplement for Vegetarians and Vegans (due to elevated levels of key vitamins and minerals), it is a real innovation in bioavailable nutrients through a novel formula. We call it ‘multivitamin and mineral engineering’ to best describe the close attention to mechanics within the formula to give optimum absorption. Joint-Vie™ was launched in 2015. This followed breakthrough research into a plant-origin alternative to Chondroitin (which is of shark origin). Phytodroitin™ is a plant-source complex that mimics the structure and composition of Chondroitin. Our studies showed excellent results in Bone and Joint Care. Joint-Vie™ is a high strength, comprehensive Bone & Joint Care formula. It combines Vegetal Glucosamine, Phytodroitin™, Calcium and Magnesium together with Vitamins C, D3 and K2.

Why do we need Omega-3 and why does not getting enough have such wide-ranging effects on the body?

Your body cannot make Omega-3, yet roughly 40% of the brain’s grey matter is built from it. It’s a structural component of every cell membrane, and the research links it to heart health, cognitive function, joint inflammation, and mental health. The average person is getting a fraction of the recommended amount.

Small actions. Big impact. 🌱

This World Environment Day, we’re reminded that every choice we make matters from what we consume to how we care for the planet.

At Vegetology, we’re committed to plant-based, vegan-friendly supplements designed with sustainability in mind.

Together, small daily choices can create a healthier future for all of us 🌍💚

Most people know vaguely that Omega-3 is good for them. Far fewer understand what it's actually doing in the body or why most of us aren't getting nearly enough of the right forms.

Your body cannot make Omega-3, yet roughly 40% of the brain's grey matter is built from it and it's in the membrane of every single cell. The average person in the UK and US is currently getting around 100mg a day. Most health organisations recommend a minimum of 250 to 500mg.

The research backing this isn't fringe. A study of over 25,000 adults found one gram daily reduced heart attacks by 28%. A Cochrane review of 86 trials confirmed reduced cardiovascular mortality. DHA is linked to better cognitive test scores and lower rates of depression and anxiety.

Do you actively try to get Omega-3 in your diet and are you confident you're getting enough of the right forms?

04/06/2026

One of the questions we hear most often, in some form or another: am I actually getting enough omega-3 on a plant-based diet?

It's a fair question, and most of the answers online either lecture you or sell you something. So we've written a proper one.

The new piece on the blog opens with one of those facts that genuinely stops you in your tracks: roughly 60% of your brain's dry weight is fat. About half of that is phospholipids, the molecules that build cell membranes. And DHA, an omega-3 your body can't really make on its own, sits inside those phospholipids, concentrated exactly where neurons signal to each other (per a 2011 Nutrients review by Bradbury). Which raises the obvious question: if you don't eat fish, where does the DHA come from?

We've gone through what "60%" actually means, why DHA specifically matters, and where to get it from without involving a fish. And why "supplement" doesn't mean "magic pill". It just means filling a gap your diet might not be covering.

If you've ever wondered whether you're getting enough, this one's for you.

Why does hair turn grey and why does understanding the distinction between “turning grey” and “growing grey” change how you think about it?

Every strand of hair starts completely colourless.

The colour is actively injected during the growth process by specialised cells called melanocytes. Greying happens when that system starts to fail and your body is producing small amounts of hydrogen peroxide that bleach the hair from the inside as it does.

Your hair doesn't turn grey, it grows grey. That one distinction changes everything about how greying actually works.

Every strand starts completely colourless. The colour you see is actively injected into each strand by specialised cells during the growth process. When greying happens, it means that system has started to fail. And the mechanisms behind it are more specific than most people realise.

Melanocyte stem cells get physically stuck in the wrong part of the follicle and stop receiving the signal to produce pigment. Hydrogen peroxide, which your follicles produce naturally, builds up as we age and bleaches the hair from the inside. And stress has a documented biological mechanism, a 2020 Harvard study found it directly depletes the stem cell reserve.

The encouraging part: those stem cells aren't dead. They're stuck. Which means research is now asking whether greying might one day be partially reversible.

"Joint supplements are for older people."

We hear this quite a bit. And we understand why. Most joint health advertising does target a very specific age bracket.

But cartilage doesn't have its own blood supply. It relies on the surrounding fluid for its nutrients and heals more slowly than most other tissues. The conditions that show up as joint discomfort later in life often build quietly over years, sometimes decades before they become noticeable.

The time to think about your joints isn't when something starts hurting. It's now ,whatever age now happens to be.

Why does your brain respond to your phone screen the same way it responds to morning sunlight?

Your circadian system cannot distinguish between natural daylight and artificial light from screens, both activate the same pathway. Two hours before your usual bedtime, your brain should be starting to produce melatonin. Evening screen use overrides that signal entirely.

Omega-3 isn't just a brain and heart supplement.

The EPA component plays a well-documented role in how your body manages inflammation. And for joints under sustained load, whether from training or long hours at a desk, that matters.

Our Omega-3 is not only great for joints but it's also perfect if you are vegan. Ours comes from microalgae, not fish. Same EPA and DHA. No fish involved.

And if you want higher strength in a smaller daily dose, our new Omega-3 Liquid Concentrate delivers 150mg EPA and 300mg DHA in just 1ml via a dropper. Suitable for adults, children, and babies. Now in our range. Have we mentioned it's also a finalist for a ?!

Joint health looks different depending on how you move.

Runners deal with impact. Cyclists with repetitive load. Desk workers with sustained tension and too little movement. And for those who’ve been active their whole lives, the maintenance picture changes over time.

The nutrients that help are largely the same. The emphasis shifts depending on your situation.
