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.

There's a particular frustration reserved for the breakout that appears at 35 when you feel you've long since earned the right to be done with all of that. But adult acne affects up to 50% of women in their twenties, with significant numbers continuing well beyond that.

The biology behind it is straightforward. Four processes have to align for a breakout to develop: excess oil production, abnormal cell shedding inside the follicle, bacterial overgrowth, and immune-driven inflammation. Those four processes are identical in teenagers and adults. In adult life, what triggers them is hormonal shifts, cortisol from stress, blood sugar spikes, and certain skincare products.

And pores don't open and close. Every product claiming otherwise is not describing anything biologically real.

Do you still get breakouts as an adult and have you worked out what tends to trigger them?

New on the blog: fish oil vs algal oil, properly settled.

Includes the bit where we admit modern algal oils used to be lower-dose (they’re not any more) and the bit where independent studies confirm your body genuinely can’t tell algae-DHA from fish-DHA.

Why do so many people treat the symptoms of low Omega-3 without ever addressing the cause?

Dry skin, joint stiffness, poor concentration, mood changes, each gets its own solution. But if you’re consistently not getting enough Omega-3, those symptoms can quietly stack up over time because the nutrient is doing something foundational in every cell of your body.

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.

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.
