HelloPharmacist Scorecard of DHAlicious Organic Lemon Flavored by Pure One

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 23, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

DHAlicious contains 3 active ingredients, all omega-3 fatty acids from algae. Two of them—eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)—are the key omega-3s your body uses for heart, brain, and eye health.

They come packaged here as Total Algal Oil, a plant-based source of these fatty acids (which is why this product appeals to people who skip fish oil). The product also contains inactive ingredients: chromista oil and organic lemon flavor oil blend, which give it taste and stability.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Algal Oil's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: DHA support for brain and infant development.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related cognitive decline, Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Autism spectrum disorder, Cognitive function, Infant development, Retinitis pigmentosa — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Algal Oil is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Cognitive function (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Algal Oil is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Age-related cognitive decline, Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Autism spectrum disorder, Retinitis pigmentosa, and more.

The evidence for algal oil is mixed depending on what you're using it for. It's rated possibly effective for preventing preterm labor during pregnancy.

For fractures, cystic fibrosis, physical performance, and cognitive function, the data suggests it's probably not effective. For nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), we don't have enough reliable evidence yet to know one way or the other.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Algal Oil

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Algal oil is generally well tolerated by most healthy adults at typical doses. One report noted increased hair loss in a child after algal oil supplementation, though it's unclear whether the algal oil itself was responsible.

In theory, algal oil could cause itching, rash, or warmth in the hands, and there's a theoretical concern about DHA intake and prostate cancer risk from observational studies, though more research is needed. Additionally, DHA-enriched algal oil can modestly raise LDL cholesterol (the "bad" kind) by about 8% in some people.

During pregnancy, DHA is often recommended, but use it only under your healthcare provider's guidance. While DHA supports infant development, talk to your provider before using this product while breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Algal Oil

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Algal Oil.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 375 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check your medications before you start, especially if you take blood pressure drugs (antihypertensive drugs), where algal oil may increase the risk of low blood pressure. Also double-check if you're on diabetes medications—algal oil may reduce their effect.

If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin or warfarin, confirm it's safe at your dose.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a plant-based omega-3 supplement that may help with preterm labor prevention and is generally well tolerated. If you take blood pressure medications, diabetes drugs, or blood thinners, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting—algal oil can interact with all three.

Anyone with concerns about cholesterol or prostate health should also discuss it with their provider first.

Total Algal Oil3 drug types · 375 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking algal oil with antidiabetes drugs might interfere with the effects of antidiabetes drugs and reduce their effects.
Most algal oil contains docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Clinical research in people with type 2 diabetes, including those taking antidiabetes drugs, shows that taking DHA 4 grams daily for 6 weeks increases fasting blood glucose levels by about 18 mg/dL when compared with taking olive oil.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, taking algal oil with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Algal oil usually contains docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and/or eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). There is evidence that fish oil, which also contains DHA and EPA, can modestly lower blood pressure and might have additive effects in patients treated with antihypertensive drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, algal oil may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
The risk of interaction is highest for algal oil containing high amounts (> 2 grams daily) of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), or EPA and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). High doses of EPA or oils containing EPA and DHA can reduce platelet aggregation in humans. However, most algal oil contains very little EPA and larger amounts of DHA. While some conflicting evidence exist, most research shows that DHA alone does not affect blood clotting.

DHAlicious Organic Lemon Flavored by Pure One: Common Questions

Does DHAlicious Organic Lemon Flavored by Pure One interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, DHAlicious Organic Lemon Flavored has a known interaction with 375 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
DHAlicious Organic Lemon Flavored contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is this safe to take during pregnancy?
DHA is often recommended in pregnancy, but you should use this product only under the guidance of your healthcare provider. They can personalize the advice based on your situation and make sure the dose is right for you.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
DHA does support infant development, but talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this during breastfeeding. They'll help you weigh the benefits and any potential risks for your baby.
Will this help my memory or brain function?
The evidence for algal oil improving cognitive function is limited—the data we have suggests it's probably not effective for that purpose. If brain health is your goal, talk to your doctor about what's actually supported for you.
What are the side effects I should watch for?
Algal oil is usually well tolerated. Rare reports include increased hair loss and skin symptoms like itching or rash. It can also raise LDL (bad) cholesterol by about 8% in some people, so if you have cholesterol concerns, mention it to your provider.
Does this really have omega-3s from algae?
Yes. This product contains eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)—the same omega-3s you'd get from fish oil—but sourced from algae instead, making it a good plant-based option.
