The Science Behind Algae-Based Omega-3

The Origin of Omega-3

Here's a fact that might surprise you: fish don't actually produce Omega-3 fatty acids. They obtain EPA and DHA by consuming algae and smaller fish that have eaten algae. By going directly to the source, algae-based supplements provide the same essential nutrients without the intermediary.

Clinical Evidence

Multiple peer-reviewed studies have demonstrated that algae-based Omega-3 supplements are just as effective as fish oil in raising blood levels of EPA and DHA:

• A 2014 study in the Journal of Functional Foods found that algal oil increased DHA levels comparably to fish oil
• Research published in Lipids in Health and Disease showed similar bioavailability between algae and fish sources
• Clinical trials confirm cardiovascular benefits equivalent to traditional fish oil supplements

Bioavailability and Absorption

The molecular structure of EPA and DHA from algae is identical to that found in fish oil, meaning your body absorbs and utilizes it in exactly the same way. The triglyceride form found in quality algae supplements may even offer superior absorption compared to ethyl ester forms common in some fish oils.

Purity and Safety

Because algae is cultivated in controlled environments, it's free from the ocean contaminants that can accumulate in fish:

• No mercury, PCBs, or microplastics
• Consistent potency and purity
• Third-party tested for quality assurance

Environmental Sustainability

Algae cultivation requires no fishing, protecting marine ecosystems while providing a renewable source of Omega-3. It's a scientifically sound choice for both your health and the planet.
