Algae Omega-3 (Vegan DHA/EPA)

All omega-3 DHA in the food chain originates from microalgae — fish accumulate it by eating algae
Algae oil provides preformed DHA and EPA — no conversion from ALA required (unlike flaxseed)
Identical bioavailability to fish oil in direct comparison studies — same molecule, different source
No heavy metal or PCB contamination risk — algae are grown in controlled conditions
The sustainable, vegan-compatible alternative that does not compromise on efficacy
