Algal oil is a plant-based, sustainable source of essential long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids, including DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) and EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid), derived from marine microalgae cultivated in controlled environments. As the original producers of Omega-3s in the aquatic food chain, algae provide a pure and contaminant-free alternative to traditional fish oil, free from heavy metals and pollutants commonly found in marine ecosystems.
Rich in phospholipid-bound fatty acids, algal oil offers superior bioavailability, ensuring efficient absorption by the human body. DHA is vital for brain health, cognitive function, and infant development, while EPA supports cardiovascular health and inflammatory response. Unlike plant-based ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid), which the body converts poorly into active Omega-3s, algal oil delivers these essential nutrients directly.
Ideal for vegetarians, vegans, and individuals with seafood allergies, algal oil is a versatile ingredient that aligns with modern dietary preferences and sustainability goals. Its neutral flavor and high smoke point (up to 485°F) make it suitable for cooking, baking, or dietary supplementation.
