Benefits of Algal-Based Omega-3s

About Algal-Based Omega-3’s

Algae omega-3 refers to a type of essential fatty acid derived from microalgae. The two primary components of algae omega-3 are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), both of which are crucial for various bodily functions. Unlike traditional omega-3 sources like fish oil, algae omega-3 is produced by cultivating microalgae in controlled environments.

Algae Omega-3 Benefits
  • Sustainability: Algae is cultivated in controlled environments, reducing the ecological impact associated with overfishing.
  • Purity and Safety: Algae omega-3 is free from the contaminants often found in fish oil, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
  • Vegan-Friendly: For those following a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, algae omega-3 offers a plant-based source of essential fatty acids.
  • Biodiversity: Algae are rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants, offering additional health benefits beyond omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Efficacy: Algae omega-3 delivers the same essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA, that are beneficial for heart health, brain function, and reducing inflammation.

Choosing algae omega-3 supplements can provide a clean, sustainable, and effective way to meet your omega-3 needs while aligning with your health and ethical values.

How Algal-Based Omega-3 is made?

The microalgae are cultivated in controlled, closed-system, which provide an ideal environment for growth while completely isolating them from ocean pollutants or environmental variables.

Inside these fermentation tanks, the algae are fed a carefully balanced mix of nutrients, light, and temperature to optimize their growth and lipid production.

Once the algae have reached peak density, the biomass is harvested, and the oil is extracted.

The final product is a high-purity, plant-based omega-3 oil that can be used in dietary supplements, fortified foods, and functional beverages, offering a sustainable and scientifically advanced alternative to traditional fish oil.
