Omega 3 comes from algae, which might be okay for some vegans.

Unlikely any vegan would have any moral qualms about algae, given that they’re not animals. Maybe you were thinking of oysters/clams/bivalves?
What vegans would not be ok with algae?
algerians
@buddhistdude - thank you :) made my day!
I think they meant their vegan diet didn't naturally have Omega 3 in it if they didn't take supplements; not that they couldn't take the supplements once they realised it.
Yeah I took that for a while, and did slightly improve things. Only problem I had at the time was those were super expensive in the UK. Maybe that's changed now
Or fish oil
