How to Use

Take with or without food

Take 2 capsules daily at any time. Unlike most fish oil supplements, you don’t need to take our omega-3 with food — it’s bioavailable any time of day!

Any time of day

Don’t worry about finding the “perfect” time of day. Simply choose a time that works for you and aim to keep it consistent.

Don’t like capsules? Try this.

Our capsule-swallowing trick: Put a capsule in your mouth, drink some water, and then tilt your head forward. The capsules will float to the back of your throat and should be easier to swallow.

Frequently Asked

Why are marine sources of omega-3 DHA better than land-based sources (e.g. flaxseed, rapeseed, chia, and walnut oils)?

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.

Is Head & Heart safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

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.†

Is Head & Heart appropriate for kids?

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. One of our capsules would provide 250mg.

Is Head & Heart tested for heavy metals?

Yes. We make products that are undeniably clean, so that you and your families can trust that you’re getting the highest-quality nutritional products on the market. And we’re transparent about it, too. You can read all about our testing standards and view our Certificates of Analysis right here.

How much iodine is in a serving of Head and Heart?

We do not standardize for iodine content in Head and Heart, but due to the nature of our source (microalgae harvested in an enclosed system, not wild harvested), there should be no significant amount of iodine in the product, unlike for example, seaweed. The serving size of our product is also low (only 1.05g). 

However, please be sure to consult with your doctor if you are on a low-iodine diet.

Why is the DHA in powder form? How is this different from taking an oil-based DHA?

Oil-based DHA supplements are more common because DHA is a fatty acid and naturally mixes well with fats and oils. Our DHA is a powder: the DHA extracted from the algae is mixed with lysine (an amino acid) to form a salt, that is dried to a powder. 

Why take a powder DHA? Because DHA is an unstable molecule - it’s easy for DHA to go rancid when in an oil form. This process of creating a powder allows the DHA to be more stable over time (for 4 years, in fact). That means that when you take a powder DHA, you get the fresh, healthy benefits that you’re looking for!

Studies also suggest that our powder DHA is 5x more bioavailable than oil-based, standard DHA supplements, and doesn’t have to be taken with food in order to be absorbed. That means that our DHA is the most convenient, reliable source of DHA you can find.

Why are marine sources of omega-3 better than land-based sources (e.g. flaxseed, rapeseed, chia, and walnut oils)?

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.

Can't wait for follow on blood tests

"On my first round of these, but very hopeful that they will show measurable improvement in my next round of blood tests. Looking for a nice boost over the base line set of cholesterol tests that motivated me to add this supplement. Dha was specifically identified as something I needed, so I am very hopeful. Easy to take and digest!"

Q&A

How big are these capsules? I cannot swallow large pills and the typical fish oil size don't work for me. Thanks!
Hi Joanna, Carolina from Ora here. Thank you so much for reaching out! Our capsules are just under 2 cm long and 0.5 cm at their widest. Many of our customers prefer to skip swallowing their capsules. Feel free to mix your capsules into your favorite drinks, so long as the liquid does not surpass 140 degrees F. If it's cooler than that, mix away. The integrity of your product won't be harmed. :) Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with. Wishing you a lovely rest of your day!
How many DHA mg are there per capsule? EPA? If thank you for your reply in advance!
Hi Jim, Carolina from Ora here. Thank you so much for your question! Our Head & Heart capsules contain 500mg DHA and about 15mg of EPA per serving. Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with. Wishing you a lovely rest of your day!
Can the capsule be opened and put in food
Hi there, Nicole from Ora here. Thanks so much for your question! Many of our customers prefer to skip swallowing their capsules. Feel free to mix your capsules into your favorite drinks, so long as the liquid does not surpass 140 degrees F. If it's cooler than that, mix away. The integrity of your probiotics won't be harmed. Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with. Wishing you a lovely rest of your day!
Has the formulation changed? My old bottles’ pills were more of a pink color with a fishy smell. The new ones are cream colored and don’t smell like anything.
Hi Mellie, Carolina from Ora here. Thank you so much for reaching out, but we're sorry for any doubts you may have experienced! Our product team has reviewed your inquiry and we're happy to provide some context. :) Firstly, we have not changed our Head & Heart formula. We don't think what you're experiencing is anything unusual or to worry about. Your previous bottle could have a slightly darker color and a stronger smell due to the bottle being opened for a while, and some oxidation of the powder had occurred - whereas a brand new bottle has been sealed and thus no oxidation has taken place upon first opening. The powder itself also has a natural color variation ranging from light yellow/beige to a darker shade. Rest assured, your capsules sound perfectly normal! If you need any further assistance, our team can be reached at info@ora.organic - we will be here to help!
Is your packaging plastic- free (glass jar?)
Hi Katie, Carolina from Ora here. Thank you so much for reaching out! All of our capsule products are packaged in recyclable glass. :) Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with. Wishing you a lovely rest of your day!
