Can I take Efamol Vegan Omega 3 during pregnancy or breastfeeding?Updated 20 hours ago

DHA is an important omega-3 fatty acid during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and algae-based supplements can provide a fish-free source of DHA.

Maternal DHA intake contributes to the normal development of the brain and eyes of the foetus and breastfed infants.*

Is Efamol Vegan Omega 3 suitable during pregnancy?

Our Vegan Omega 3 product is suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

However, if you're pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, we recommend speaking to your GP, midwife or healthcare professional before taking any new supplements.

They can help ensure your total intake of DHA and other nutrients is appropriate alongside any pregnancy supplements you're already taking.


Always follow the recommended dosage on the product packaging.

The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 200mg DHA in addition to the recommended adult intake of 250mg DHA and EPA combined.
