Vegan Omega-3 & Astaxanthin Capsules

Storage and Safety:
Keep somewhere cool, dry and out of kids' reach. No need to refrigerate. Don’t use if the safety seal is damaged or missing. Food supplements aren’t a substitute for a healthy diet and and never take more than the recommended dose.
It’s always good to check with your doctor before taking omega-3 if you:
• are on any medication, such as blood thinners
• are about to have surgery
• have health concerns or conditions
Vim & Vigour capsules are not suitable for young children (under 10yrs) or pregnancy due to limited trials of astaxanthin in these groups.

Why Vim & Vigour is different
-
Everyday strength for every life stage
The most powerful vegan omega-3 on the market. That’s it. That’s the headline.
-
Trusted by clinicians & families
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).

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.

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...
