Do you think this is a normal price for them (and also actually real, good quality oil): https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07BRY1FRZ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07

  I pay for cod liver oil a price that divided by the content of omega-3 acids results in about EUR 0.10 per gram. At your link, the price is GBP 17 per 24 g DHA, which results in about EUR 0.82 per gram of omega-3. I have paid about the same price, i.e. 8 times higher than fish oil, for a similar algae oil. So the price seems right. However the product from your link has a problem, it contains only DHA. There are 2 omega-3 acids that are required by the human body, DHA and EPA. Fish oil contains both and also vitamin D. The cultivated algae produce either DHA or EPA, not both. Some vendors mix oils from 2 algae cultures, to sell supplements with both DHA and EPA. Others sell DHA and EPA separately, like in your link. If you choose this DHA supplement, you must also search an EPA supplement, to take them both. Otherwise you must search a supplement with both DHA and EPA. The prices are about the same so it is just a matter of convenience to choose separate or combined supplements. Unfortunately, I have not seen any algae oil at a significantly different price, so the only cheaper solution is fish oil, at an 8-times lower price.
