Calgee Vegan Omega 3 Review

The Supplement Facts panel prints a serving size of 2 softgels, delivering 300 mg DHA and 150 mg EPA together (450 mg combined); per softgel that is 150 mg DHA and 75 mg EPA. The listing title says 120-count, which is 60 servings, so the last listed price of $45.50 works out to roughly $0.76 a serving, or about $1.69 per gram of DHA+EPA. Amazon shows the product as not currently in stock (2026-10-18), so treat $45.50 as the last listed price, not a current one. An earlier version of this review treated the 300/150 as a one-softgel dose and quoted about $0.25 a serving; that was wrong on both counts.

Eurofins Scientific is a major independent testing lab. Calgee’s label graphics say every batch is tested by Eurofins, and the listing bullets say the results are published and cover DHA+EPA potency and purity. That is a more specific testing claim than a generic third-party-tested badge. We saw no certificate of analysis ourselves, so it is the brand’s claim, but it names the lab and the scope.

It is solid for an algae oil: 150 mg EPA alongside 300 mg DHA per serving is a balanced split with real EPA, not a DHA-only product. EPA still sits below DHA, which is typical for the category because the microalgae used make more DHA than EPA. If you want more EPA per serving, Sports Research prints 280 mg and Nordic Naturals 195 mg; Calgee’s 450 mg per serving is a mid-range dose.

It is a plant-based tapioca softgel. The panel’s other-ingredients list (algal oil, modified tapioca starch, glycerin, purified water, high oleic sunflower oil, tocopherols, rosemary oil, ascorbyl palmitate) has no carrageenan or sorbitol, and the gallery graphics print No Carrageenan and No Sorbitol. Nordic Naturals’ shell, by contrast, lists both on its panel. The listing says the algae is grown indoors in US tanks and water-extracted.

No, not on the numbers on the panel. At the last listed price of $45.50 it is about $0.76 a serving and about $1.69 per gram of DHA+EPA, which costs more per gram than Sports Research (about $0.92), Testa (about $1.11) and Nordic Naturals (about $1.23). Amazon shows it as not currently in stock (2026-10-18). Its case is per-batch Eurofins testing and a carrageenan-free, sorbitol-free shell, not price. One more thing to check before you order: the panel in the gallery is the 60-softgel pouch (30 servings), while the listing title says 120-count, so confirm the count you are buying.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 74 adults found microalgal-oil DHA and EPA bioavailability was non-inferior to fish oil — evidence a balanced algae oil like Calgee delivers both omega-3s reliably.
2. [2] Maki 2014 PMID 25123060 — A new, microalgal DHA- and EPA-containing oil lowers triacylglycerols in adults with mild-to-moderate hypertriglyceridemia. In 93 adults, a microalgal DHA+EPA oil lowered triglycerides comparably to standard fish oil over 14 weeks — evidence a balanced microalgal oil delivers a recognized cardiometabolic omega-3 effect.
