Vegan Omega-3 & Astaxanthin Capsules
How can we give vegans as powerful an omega-3 as our fish oils? We researched and created Vim & Vigour with EPA, DHA and antioxidant astaxanthin all derived from sustainable algae. It works just the same.

Why Vim & Vigour is different
-
Super strength for fast results
The most powerful vegan omega-3 on the market. That’s it. That’s the headline.
-
Requested and recommended by nutrition experts
Nutrition experts asked us to make a vegan version of our Life & Soul omega-3. So we did. They love it. We love it. Customers love it too.
-
IFOS tested & certified for purity
All our finished batches are tested by International Fish Oil Standards – the most rigorous benchmark for purity and freshness. On top of the two sets of tests we also run because we’re omega-3 perfectionists.
-
Contains both types of omega-3
Most vegan omega-3 supplements only contain DHA, but this one also contains EPA plus added astaxanthin (normally only found in krill oil).

D S.Verified Buyer - Rated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoReally nice!
I'm very happy with this omega-3 supplement. It has a good composition and a good dose of DHA with astaxanthin. It's vegan, easy to take, and has a good taste. I'll buy it again.
Sheila B.Verified Buyer - Rated 4 out of 5 stars1 week agoImprovements
I’ve been taking Vim and Vigour for almost 3 months and although I think some benefits can be difficult to register, I think my brain fog is lessening. I’m not sure if it’s coincidence but my nails are stronger and healthier, which is great.
Trish H.Verified Buyer - Rated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoGreat project
I was recommended these by a nutritionist as the best brand of vegan omega 3 and so far I am very happy with them. Easy to swallow and no horrible taste. Only taken for a few weeks so hard to say if working, not sure if they help nails but the one thing I ah e noticed is that mine are not breaking as they usually do and I’ve had to file them as they have been really strong and getting very long.

FAQs
Why did you launch a plant based omega-3?
Our bodies can’t make omega-3 so it’s essential we get it through our diet. The richest source of omega-3 is oily fish but if you follow a plant-based diet or have a fish allergy, this isn't an option. Many Nutritional Therapists we work with have vegan clients and have emailed us over the years asking if we would consider creating a plant-based option. After a year of hard work we can finally offer what we think is the best plant-based product you’ll find.
What type of algae do you use?
The omega-3s in this product are sourced from Schizochytrium sp. and the astaxanthin is sourced from Haematococcus pluvialis.
Is algae safe?
Yes, and the two types of algae in this product (Schizochytrium sp. and Haematococcus pluvialis) have been approved by the EFSA for supplemental use in over 18s.
Is Vim & Vigour safe for children?
Vim & Vigour capsules are not suitable for young children under 10yrs, due to limited trials of astaxanthin in these groups.
Is Vim & Vigour safe to take during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
No, we don't recommend it for pregnancy or breastfeeding due to the astaxanthin. There haven't been enough safety studies at this point, so safer to avoid for now.
What is the capsule coating made from?
Modified corn starch, carrageenan (red seaweed), Glycerol BP MB, Sodium Carbonate Anhydrous.
Why are the capsules red?
The capsules are dark red in colour because of the astaxanthin—a pink/red carotenoid pigment extracted from the alga Haematococcus pluvialis.
What is astaxanthin?
It's a powerful antioxidant and type of carotenoid.
What are the benefits of astaxanthin?
- May improve gastric health.
- May improve symptoms of age-related forgetfulness.
- May help refocus tired eyes.
- Can enhance overall skin health by improving skin moisture, elasticity and reducing wrinkles.
- Improves muscle performance and recovery.
- Can contribute to improved cardiovascular health.
- Possesses potent anti-inflammatory properties.
- These claims are backed up by studies using relatively few subjects and have no associated approved health claims, so they can not be used on the packaging.
How many calories in one dose?
23 calories per 2 daily capsules.
Does this product contain iodine?
No, it doesn't contain iodine.
Are there any allergens in these?
There are no known allergens (as required to be declared by food law) in Vim & Vigour.
Please see our allergen statement for more info.

What is astaxanthin?
It’s one of those words nobody can pronounce, it’s also a powerful antioxidant. Its red colour comes from the microalgae and is what makes flamingoes pink. Fun right? It won’t...
