¿Es Omega-3 supplements vegano?
Depends — fish oil is not vegan; algae oil delivers the same EPA and DHA.

Por qué
Fish get their EPA and DHA from microalgae, so algal oil supplements skip the fish entirely and avoid the heavy-metal and sustainability issues. Capsule shells are the other thing to check, as many are gelatin.

- Milk, whey, casein, lactose, egg, honey, gelatin, carmine (E120) and shellac (E904) in the list
- "May contain milk" is an allergen cross-contamination note, not an ingredient — most vegans still buy it

Preguntas frecuentes
Is Omega-3 supplements certified vegan?
Certification is separate from the recipe. Many products with no animal ingredients carry no vegan mark because the maker will not rule out shared production lines. Check the pack for a registered vegan trademark, and treat the ingredient list as the primary evidence.
Does the answer change between countries?
Often, yes. The same brand name can use different fats, emulsifiers, colours or whey depending on the plant that made it, so always read the local label rather than an answer written for another market.
