Head & heart
Support a healthy brain, heart, and eyes with our plant-based DHA omega-3 that’s 5x more bioavailable than standard fish oil supplements [1].
No matter your diet, omega-3s can be hard to obtain. That's why supplementation is important. Supplementing with DHA can help improve memory in adults [2]† and eyesight in babies [3],† support a positive mood [4][5],† and is associated with healthy levels of inflammation throughout the brain [6] and body [7].†
Unlike traditional fish oils, our plant-based omega-3 is sourced from sustainably harvested algae from the North Atlantic Ocean. We also third-party test every batch for heavy metals and contaminants.
We're radically transparent so you can be confident.
We make products that are undeniably clean. With an obsessive focus on quality control, we test every batch of our products at third-party, accredited laboratories and — what's more — publish our test results for you. View our Certificate of Analysis (COA) here.
The purest omega-3 source
There are a lot of drawbacks to getting your essential omega-3 fatty acids from fish or fish oil supplements. Many fish species contain high levels of mercury, a toxic heavy metal. Fish oil supplements tend to contain filler ingredients, preservatives, or thickeners like carrageenan, which may contribute to inflammation and bloating.
We wanted the purest, most bioavailable source of DHA omega-3s, so we went straight to the source: Schizochytrium algae (pronounced skitz-uh-kie’-tree-um). Our algae are cultivated sustainably in an enclosed system to ensure minimal impact on the marine ecosystem.
Head & Heart has no fillers, no carrageenan, nor artificial ingredients — our omega-3 is as pure as it gets.
Frequently asked questions
-
Omega-3 from marine-based sources (e.g. algae, fish & krill) are high in DHA content. Land-based sources like flaxseed and chia do not contain much or any DHA. Instead, they contain ALA (α-linolenic acid). Research has shown only 3-5% of ALA gets converted into DHA, the omega-3 fatty acid that our bodies readily use.
-
We always recommend speaking with a healthcare professional before introducing any supplement during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, but doctors generally recommend taking omega 3 supplements during pregnancy because it supports healthy neurodevelopment. DHA supplementation during pregnancy is associated with less risk of preterm birth as well as giving birth to a baby with a larger head circumference and birth weight [20].
-
We recommend speaking with a doctor before giving Head & Heart to kids. The FDA does not have recommended amounts of DHA for kids to take each day, but the European Food Safety Authority recommends that kids ages 2-18 have 250mg DHA each day [21]. One of our capsules would provide 250mg.

What to expect
Within a few weeks You may notice fewer dry eye symptoms and a more balanced mood. Over time You support a healthy cardiovascular system, improved memory, and healthy eyesight as you age.
The science of DHA
DHA and EPA are both essential omega-3 fatty acids, but we use primarily DHA in our omega-3 supplement because studies suggest it may be more effective than EPA at lowering biomarkers associated with cardiovascular disease risk (like LDL cholesterol) and increasing those that are associated with a healthy cardiovascular system like HDL[ 8] [9].†
