Product Review: Omega-3 DHA & EPA

Formula

Ritual delivers 500 mg of omega-3s per serving in a 2:1 DHA to EPA ratio sourced from sustainably grown microalgae, making it completely plant-based and vegan-friendly. The capsules are infused with natural citrus oil to mask odor, and the company emphasizes transparency with traceable, third-party tested ingredients. While the formulation is clean and well-sourced, the total omega-3 dose is relatively low compared to high-potency fish oil supplements.

Effect

This supplement provides support for brain, and heart health in line with the well-researched benefits of DHA and EPA. It’s most suitable for users seeking a general daily boost rather than those requiring higher therapeutic dosages, such as for lowering triglycerides or inflammation. The lower potency means it may not deliver strong, noticeable effects for everyone.

Use

The product is designed for simplicity: just one softgel per day, with or without food. The capsule size is moderate, though some may still find it slightly bulky. Thanks to the algal oil base, it avoids the common fishy burps associated with traditional fish oil.

Flavor

Every bottle has a citrus essenced tab and the omega-3 oil is infused with natural citrus oil. The addition of citrus essence gives the capsules a light, fresh smell and taste, making them more pleasant than many fish oil options. This reduces “fish burp” complaints that are quite common with fish oil supplements. 

Price

Ritual positions this product at the premium end of the market. While the quality sourcing and vegan credentials justify part of the cost, the amount of DHA and EPA per dollar is lower than many fish oil competitors. Those prioritizing purity and plant-based sourcing may find the price acceptable, but those looking for a lower cost per mg might not find this accessible.
