Coastal cultures have known for millennia that marine diets keep people sharp and hardy. What we've learned since is that fish don't make Omega-3, they concentrate it from the microalgae they eat. We simply go to the source.

Algae Omega-3
Schizochytrium sp.
Algae
DHA and EPA cut out of the middle, taken straight from the algae where fish get theirs.
Schizochytrium algae grown in fermentation tanks on land, cutting out the fish entirely: vegan, ocean-friendly and free from marine contaminants.
- DHA
- Contributes to maintenance of normal brain function and vision (250mg/day).
- EPA
- With DHA, contributes to normal heart function (250mg/day).
Marine algae oil, the original source of EPA and DHA in the food chain. Fish are simply the middlemen.
EPA and DHA hold authorised EFSA health claims at defined daily intakes, making this one of the few ingredients in our range where the claim is settled science.
- Fish don't make omega-3; they accumulate it by eating algae.
- Algal oil skips the ocean entirely, no bycatch, no heavy metal load, no fishy repeat.
- Sustainably fermented in tanks, so supply doesn't depend on fish stocks.
