Algae Omega-3
100% vegan capsules made from nutrient-rich algae.
How many capsules should I take each day?
How many capsules should I take each day?
The general guideline is for healthy adults to be consuming 250mg-500mg per day. Our capsules were designed for adults to take 1-2 daily, matching that range by providing 250-500mg.
Children can also take it and you can lower the dose to 250mg by giving them one per day.
If you need to lower the dose further, you can pierce the capsule and consume the exact amount you wish. You can mix it in with drinks or food.
Are there any contaminants in algae-based Omega-3?
Are there any contaminants in algae-based Omega-3?
Our algae is grown in purified water which ensures that it is free from toxins found in the ocean such as pesticides, mercury and other heavy metals.
Is the algae genetically modified in any way?
Is the algae genetically modified in any way?
No, our algae is not genetically modified and production adheres to regulations of non-GMO (genetically modified organisms) practices.
What is “modified starch”?
What is “modified starch”?
The starch is used for the coating of the softgel to prevent any moisture getting in and spoiling it. In the past, gelatin was used for this. But gelatin comes from the bones, tendons and ligaments of animals. So this is definitely unsuitable for vegetarian/vegan diets and also raises moral question marks for people.
'Modified' starch simply means that something has been done to the raw starch to make it more appropriate for its purpose. Even something as simple as roasting it technically makes it modified.
It's a legal requirement to declare it is 'modified'. However, despite the similar wording it does not mean genetically modified in any way.
Is your packaging sustainable?
Is your packaging sustainable?
We have carefully designed our packaging with sustainability at its heart. We use lightweight pouches which greatly reduces the use of plastics and energy during transportation. Plus, we now have a reusable travel tin to store your capsules in. This can be washed and reused continuously which combats single-use packaging.
Why is there Carrageenan included in the capsule?
Why is there Carrageenan included in the capsule?
We use a tiny amount of Carrageenan as part of the capsule. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) supports it as a safe ingredient. And the World Health Organisation (WHO) even recognises Carrageenan as being safe for infant formula. Ours is derived from red seaweed and is 100% plant-based.

Are these “magic” mushrooms
This is indeed a frequently asked question. The answer is simply "no"!
While certain mushrooms are associated with hallucinating, they aren't present at all in our formulation. Quite the opposite, our blend is designed to give you a boost in cognition and concentration! Furthermore, our Lion's Mane mushroom extract is fully compliant with both UK and EU legislation.

How should I store it?
How should I store it?
It's important to prevent moisture in the air from getting into your Mushroom Coffee. It's naturally designed to react sensitively to water to mix well into a smooth drink. Unfortunately, this sensitivity also means that if moisture gets into your Mushroom Coffee, then it will start to react and clump together.
This won't be a problem if you drink it regularly. But if you intend to open it and then leave it for long periods, then we'd recommend keeping it in a cupboard. Always ensure that the pouch zipper is firmly sealed and ideally use the metal tin to provide the best protection against moisture.
Does it contain gluten or dairy?
Does it contain gluten or dairy?
