Direct Sourcing of Essential EPA & DHA
Marine microalgae are the original primary producers of long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids in the ocean food web. Fish only accumulate these healthy fats by eating algae, meaning traditional fish oil contains processed, secondary nutrients. By extracting the lipids directly from Schizochytrium species, our algae oil cuts out the middle fish entirely, offering a direct, concentrated, and highly bioavailable plant-based source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
Clinical studies demonstrate that algae-derived DHA has equivalent bioequivalence and plasma absorption rates to those found in fish oil. Once ingested, these fatty acids are easily digested and incorporated into cell membranes, supporting visual acuity, neuronal membrane fluidity, and long-term cognitive function without relying on marine animals.
Pristine Purity Free from Marine Pollutants
Because marine environments face increasing industrial pollution, wild-caught fish are vulnerable to bioaccumulating dangerous toxins, including methylmercury, PCBs, dioxins, and microplastics. While most fish oil supplements require heavy chemical purification to minimize these risks, our microalgae are cultivated under highly controlled, sterile conditions in stainless steel fermentation tanks, entirely isolated from ocean pollutants.
This closed production process prevents any exposure to environmental contaminants, ensuring a pristine, pesticide-free, and heavy-metal-free lipid profile. The resulting oil provides a safe and clean source of Omega-3s, making it particularly suitable for maternal nutrition, infant formula, and health-sensitive dietary products.
Complete Environmental Sustainability
The global demand for Omega-3 fatty acids has placed unprecedented pressure on wild pelagic fish stocks, leading to overfishing, marine ecosystem degradation, and unintended bycatch of non-target species. Our algae oil provides an environmentally responsible solution. Microalgae have rapid growth rates and can be farmed continuously in closed systems with a minimal environmental footprint, requiring a fraction of the land, water, and carbon needed for wild fisheries or oilseed crops.
We feed our microalgae plant-based sugars from sustainably grown sugarcane, creating a highly efficient, zero-waste upstream process. Choosing our algae oil helps preserve marine life, protect global oceans, and secure a reliable, climate-shielded source of Omega-3s for decades to come.
Superb Sensory Appeal & High-Heat Culinary Stability
One of the primary challenges when formulating with fish oil is its strong, unpleasant fishy taste and odor, which can lead to negative consumer feedback and fishy aftertaste. Our refined algae oil has an exceptionally clean, neutral flavor and aroma, allowing for seamless incorporation into a wide variety of food matrices without altering their natural taste. It does not produce fishy “burps,” making it highly palatable for daily supplements.
Additionally, we utilize advanced physical molecular distillation to lower the oil’s free fatty acid content, ensuring maximum resistance to heat and oxidation. Our oil can be stabilized with natural carnosic acid (from rosemary extract) or microencapsulated in complex coacervates of plant-derived proteins and pectins, making it perfect for high-heat cooking, baking, liquid dairy fortification, and nutritional powders.

Algae oil (or algal oil) is a plant-based source of long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids, primarily DHA and EPA, derived from marine microalgae such as Schizochytrium sp. To produce the oil, microalgae are cultivated in controlled, sterile stainless steel fermentation tanks, fed plant-based sugars, harvested, and physically pressed. The oil is then refined using physical molecular distillation to remove free fatty acids and ensure pristine purity.
Yes, clinical and nutritional studies have demonstrated that algae oil is highly effective and bioequivalent to fish oil. The molecular structures of DHA and EPA derived from microalgae are identical to those found in fish. Algae-derived Omega-3s are easily digested, absorbed, and incorporated into plasma and red blood cell membranes, supporting heart and brain health just as effectively as fish oil.
Fish oil production relies heavily on wild pelagic fisheries, contributing to overfishing and marine ecosystem degradation. Microalgae, however, grow extremely rapidly in closed, controlled fermentation tanks, requiring a fraction of the land, water, and carbon. It has zero impact on marine wild stocks and does not contribute to ocean bycatch, making it a highly sustainable and environmentally conscious choice.
Our algae oil is primarily standardized to contain high amounts of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). In addition to these essential long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, the oil contains natural antioxidants like gamma-tocopherol (Vitamin E), phytosterols (such as beta-sitosterol), and carotenoids, which support cellular protection and oil stability.
The long-chain Omega-3s (EPA and DHA) in algae oil are highly effective at lowering triglycerides (a type of fat in the blood) by decreasing their production in the liver. They also help reduce systemic inflammation, support normal blood vessel lining function (endothelial function), and modestly lower blood pressure, significantly decreasing the risk factors associated with heart disease.
Yes, algae oil is considered highly safe and is widely recommended for pregnant and lactating women, and is commonly used in infant formula. DHA is crucial for fetal brain, eye, and nervous system development. Because our algae are grown in sterile, closed fermentation bioreactors, there is zero risk of bioaccumulating mercury or other heavy metals, making it much safer than ocean-sourced fish oil.
Unlike conventional fish oil, which often has a strong, fishy smell and taste that causes unpleasant aftertaste, our refined algae oil has an exceptionally clean, neutral flavor and aroma. This makes it highly palatable and easy to consume directly or incorporate into sensitive food matrices like liquid dairy and nutritional bars.
Yes, our culinary-grade, deacidified algae oil has an exceptionally high smoke point of over 500 degrees Fahrenheit. It is highly heat-stable, allowing it to be used safely for sautéing, baking, roasting, and frying, while providing a healthy, neutral-flavored, and monounsaturated-rich alternative to unstable seed oils.
High-quality algae oil supplements typically have a shelf life of 18 to 24 months. To prevent oxidation of sensitive double bonds, they should be stored in opaque, well-sealed containers in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, liquid oils are best kept refrigerated to maintain maximum freshness and prevent the development of off-odors.
Algae-derived DHA and EPA are completely allergen-free, making them highly suitable for sensitive infant diets. By eliminating the risks of marine heavy metals (mercury) and environmental toxins associated with wild fish oil, algae oil provides a pure, consistent, and organic source of essential fats needed to support infant neural development and visual sharpness.
