Ritual's microalgae-derived omega-3 delivers 500 mg of EPA/DHA (eicosapentaenoic/docosahexaenoic acid) per vegan capsule in a 2:1 DHA-to-EPA ratio, designed to support brain and heart health. The capsule is infused with natural orange oil for flavor and formulated with reduced oxidation to minimize the fish-oil aftertaste. Third-party tested for heavy metals, microbes, and major allergens.
Multiple meta-analyses of RCTs show omega-3 supplementation reduces triglycerides and supports cardiovascular outcomes in high-risk populations. Cognitive and mood benefits are less consistent across trials, though observational data link higher dietary omega-3 intake to better brain health. The evidence is strongest for cardiovascular and metabolic endpoints.
Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) are incorporated into cell membranes and serve as precursors for anti-inflammatory eicosanoids and specialized pro-resolving mediators. They modulate immune signaling, reduce triglycerides, and support endothelial function and neuronal health.

“INTRODUCTION: Omega-3 possesses anti-inflammatory and lipid metabolism modifying effects in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but inconsistency exists among previous studies.”
“BACKGROUND: Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids from oily fish (long-chain omega-3 (LCn3)), including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)), as well as from plants (alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)) may benefit cardiovascula”

Most cardiovascular benefit appears in people with elevated triglycerides or existing disease; primary prevention trials in low-risk populations show modest or null effects. Cognitive and depression outcomes remain mixed across RCTs, with publication bias suspected. Dose, duration, and EPA/DHA ratio vary widely across studies, complicating direct comparison. Fish oil supplements carry a small risk of bleeding at high doses and may interact with anticoagulants.
