Algae Omega-3
MODERATE EVIDENCEFatty AcidLast updated
AVELOR SUMMARY
Algal omega-3 is the ORIGINAL source — fish get their EPA/DHA from eating microalgae (Schizochytrium, Crypthecodinium). Algal DHA is bioequivalent to fish-derived DHA. Most algal products are DHA-dominant (low EPA) but newer strains produce balanced EPA+DHA. Advantages: vegan, no heavy metals, no ocean pollutants, sustainable. life'sDHA® and life'sOMEGA® (DSM) are major branded algal omega-3s.
