The five things

Source

01/05

Fish don't make omega 3.

Fish don't actually make omega 3. They don't.
They eat algae. That's where it comes from.

Every milligram of DHA in a fish got there from the algae it ate. Fish store it. They don't produce it.

Freshness

02/05

Most fish oil is going bad
before you open it.

A strong fishy smell can signal oxidation — a sign the oil has started to break down.

The switch

03/05

So I went to the algae itself.

For 20 years, I was buying it secondhand.

Whatever the fish picked up on the way came with it.

Tahiro skips all that. It's algae, the original source.

Grown in controlled tanks, not pulled from the ocean. Nothing to go rancid in between.

Every day

05/05

It only works if you keep taking it.

Ken doesn't take it for race day. He takes it the way he runs: every day. There's no day-one feeling. It builds in tissue over months, and only if it's fresh and you don't run out.

Month 1

Month 2

Month 3

2 softgels a day · 180 softgels · 90 days

That's why he keeps the 3-month supply.

Questions

Yes. DHA and EPA are the same omega-3s whether they come from fish or algae.

Fish get their omega-3s through the marine food chain. Tahiro simply goes straight to the source — algae — without the fish in between.

Two softgels a day with food.

The 60-count bottle is a 30-day supply. The 180-count bottle is a full 90-day supply.

The important part is consistency. Omega-3 is something you take every day, not just when you feel like you need it.

That’s one of the reasons many people prefer algae omega-3.

Tahiro contains no fish oil, so you avoid the fish-derived taste and aftertaste commonly associated with traditional fish oil.

Because omega-3 isn’t a quick-hit supplement.

There’s no day-one feeling. The value comes from taking it consistently over time.

The 90-day supply makes that simple — two softgels a day, every day, without running out halfway through the routine.

We go straight to the source.

Tahiro delivers DHA, EPA and DPA from algae grown in controlled tanks in the U.S. No fish in between.

Every batch is third-party tested, giving you another layer of confidence in what you’re taking.

You have 30 days to try it.

If you’re not satisfied, email us and we’ll refund your order. No complicated forms or hoops to jump through — and you can keep the bottle.
