What it is

Vegan Omega 3 from Algae is a source of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). It is derived from microalgae, which are cultivated in controlled environments. The oil is then extracted and purified.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add vegan omega-3 from algae to foods to boost their nutritional content with essential fatty acids. It is often found in beverages, nutritional supplements, and some fortified foods.

Health notes

Omega-3 fatty acids are important for overall health. The FDA considers algae-derived omega-3s to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in foods. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated omega-3s, and EFSA has reviewed their health benefits. Research suggests omega-3s support heart and brain health, though evidence on specific benefits can vary.
