Algal oil is a renewable, plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids extracted from specific types of algae. Rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DPA), it provides the same essential nutrients found in fish oil without relying on the harvesting of wild fish populations.
As a sustainable alternative, algal oil production helps reduce pressure on marine ecosystems, requires fewer natural resources and minimizes environmental contaminants. Algae’s natural ability to absorb carbon dioxide also supports climate-friendly manufacturing practices, making it a more environmentally responsible option for omega-3 production.
The International Algal Oil Standards (IAOS) program verifies the quality, safety and purity of algal oil supplements through independent testing. Each product is assessed for active ingredient content, contaminants and stability to confirm label accuracy and freshness.
