What is algae Omega 3?
It’s another way of saying algae supplements which, as we mentioned above, are packed full of Omega 3 fatty acids, including the essential fatty acids, Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA), and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). Both of these basic fats aren’t produced naturally by our bodies and are only found in either algae or fish.
Traditionally, Omega 3 supplements have been sourced from fish or krill oils, which is increasingly being seen as unsustainable and problematic due to toxicity from heavy metals and pesticides. In contrast, algae oil Omega 3 DHA and EPA are produced by microalgae, not by fish, which is viewed as being more of a sustainable option.11
