Arctic Blue Vegan Omega 3 Algae 60 capsules (250 mg DHA)

Algae oil is made from algae, which is why it is also sometimes called vegan fish oil. How's that? Fish oil is made from the fat of fish that have acquired fat reserves by eating algae. Algae are a source of omega-3 fatty acids for fish. Algae oil is therefore the only oil in the world that contains the same omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) as fish oil.

Vegetable alternative to fish oil

Algae are unicellular plants found in rivers and oceans. There are many species, but only one species produces the right omega-3s in large quantities. This is the Schizochytrium species from which we extract our algae oil. Just like probiotic cultures or brewer's yeast in large containers do their job, algae grows in a controlled way to a strong density. Subsequently, oil is extracted from them. The first attempts to grow algae in terrestrial conditions produced only algae DHA oil. But algae can be naturally directed to the point where it produces EPA oil and or EPA/DHA oil. Algae oil is thus a perfect alternative to fish oil. The following characteristics should be considered when choosing algae oil: official labeling/vegan certification, the amount of EPA/DHA and the absence of unpleasant aftertaste and odor. Quality and freshness can be distinguished by these basic points. At Arctic Blue, we guarantee this 100%, and we also regularly measure the freshness of the algae oil in the laboratory. As with fish oil, algae oil is measured by the so-called "algae oil". Totox = total oxidation value.
