Arctic Blue Vegan Omega 3 Algae 150 ml (250 mg DHA & 2000 mg ALA)

Freshly pressed, unrefined linseed oil contains a high amount of omega-3 ALA. The human body converts ALA into omega-3 EPA and DHA as needed. This makes linseed oil an excellent supplement to algae oil. The linseed oil provides a typical spicy flavour and a naturally darker colour, which is not a defect but rather proof of the presence of bioactive substances.

A Plant-Based Alternative to Fish Oil

Algae are single-celled plants found in rivers and oceans. There are many species, but only one produces the right omega-3s in large quantities. This is the Schizochytrium species, from which we extract our algae oil. Just as probiotic cultures or brewer's yeast do their work in large vats, algae are grown in a controlled manner to a high density. The oil is then extracted from them. Early attempts to grow algae on land only produced algae DHA oil. However, algae can be naturally guided to a point where they produce EPA oil or an EPA/DHA oil. This makes algae oil a perfect alternative to fish oil. When choosing an algae oil, you should pay attention to the following characteristics: official vegan designation/certification, the amount of EPA/DHA, and the absence of any unpleasant aftertaste or odour. These basic points can be used to distinguish quality and freshness. At Arctic Blue, we 100% guarantee this, and we also regularly measure the freshness of our algae oil in the laboratory. As with fish oil, the so-called Totox value = total oxidation value is also measured for algae oil.
