Algae oil is typically made from marine algae and is sustainably farmed and then purified. This process creates a supplemental form of marine algae named algae oil. Algae oil contains omega 3 in the form of DHA and EPA and has many health benefits. Algae oil is a superfood and has the added benefits of being a great source of omega 3 for vegans and vegetarians. It also doesn’t have the fishy taste and indigestion side effects that fish oil has. Plant based sources of omega 3 are limited. The oil from algae can be utilised as a supplemental form of omega 3.
