What is DHA Algal Oil?
Algal DHA oil is a great alternative to fish oil. Because it’s made from marine algae, it’s perfect for vegetarians and vegans that are looking for a reliable source of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids. The two main ingredients found in algal oil are DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids.
These fatty acids provide various benefits to your eyes, brain, and hair. Omega-3 fatty acids have also been known to benefit cardiovascular health and can reduce inflammation. This is a reason why fish oil has become a staple supplement for millions of health consumers.
One of the benefits that algal DHA oil has over fish oil is that it doesn’t have the weird fishy aftertaste and may be easier on the stomach. Some people have trouble consuming fish oil because it causes gastrointestinal distress or because they do not like the “fish burp.” Algal DHA oil has more of a neutral flavor and goes down much easier according to many consumers.
The thing you do notice with Algal DHA oil is the fact that contains less omega-3 fatty acid content compared to traditional fish oil supplements. As a result, consumers will have to supplement with foods with omega-3 fatty acid content or consumer higher amounts of the oils. With that said, there are higher potency omega-3 algal oils being developed as companies start to identify which strains of algae have higher omega-3 levels.
