For which respect? Tempeh is a great source of vegetarian protein and micronutrients, as fermentation removes all the nasty stuff from soy. Algae supplements have a good bit of the n-3 fatty acid DHA and EPA, but are extremely expensive with average prices being $60/mo for the recommended 2g EPA/DHA per day. Contrast this with $8/month for fish oil of the same power.
Very late update: In the meantime products have become available with an EPA/DHA ratio of ~ 3⁄2 (prev. it was always 1⁄2). Price for monthly dose remained the same.
