What is Omega 3 from algae oil?

Omega 3 fatty acids are healthy unsaturated fats. And these fats have many beneficial effects on our health.

Previously, the options for getting these healthy fats were eating oily fish or using a fish oil. But did you know that fish contain omega-3 fatty acids because they eat algae?

We extract the omega-3 fatty acids directly from the algae. Directly from the source. It couldn't be more sustainable and also 100% plant-based.

DHA : an unsaturated Omega 3 fatty acid that mainly occurs in fish and shellfish. But also in algae.

ALA can be converted into EPA and DHA in the body, but this only produces a small amount of these fatty acids.

When to use an Omega 3 supplement?

Omega 3 is healthy and important for everyone. The Health Council advises adults to get 200 milligrams of Omega 3 per day with the diet. You could get this amount by eating enough oily fish. A portion of oily fish (herring, mackerel, anchovies, salmon) once or twice a week should be sufficient. If you don't eat enough fish or if you eat vegetarian or vegan, our Omega 3 vegan algae oil supplement is a good addition.

Especially when you are pregnant, getting enough DHA is important. DHA contributes to the development of the child's brain and eyes. DHA is important throughout pregnancy, especially in the third trimester when the baby is growing fast.
