What is algae-derived omega-3 DHA?Updated a month ago

Algae-derived omega-3 DHA is a plant-based form of essential fatty acids sourced directly from microalgae rather than fish.   

What is algae? Algae are simple, nutrient-rich organisms found naturally in aquatic environments, or in our case, grown in controlled indoor fermentation tanks.   

Where does the omega-3 come from? Algae are the original root source of omega-3s in nature. Marine animals only contain DHA because they feed on algae or on other organisms that consume it.   

Why use algae instead of fish oil? Going straight to algae provides a direct, plant-based source of pre-formed DHA. It delivers all the brain, eye, and heart benefits of traditional omega-3s without relying on fish oil, avoiding ocean contaminants and fishy aftertaste entirely
