Plant-based Omega-3 from algae oil

Most people obtain their omega-3 fatty acids primarily from animal sources. However, there are also plant-based alternatives that are suitable not only for vegetarians and vegans, but for anyone looking for a sustainable, healthy source of fat.

In body cells, omega-3 fatty acids are predominantly found in two active forms : DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). Animals – including fish – have high levels of these fatty acids because they convert other fatty acids into DHA and EPA and accumulate them in their tissues.

The unique feature of algae oil is that it provides a direct source of DHA and EPA . The body does not need to rely on the precursor ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), as is the case with plant-based sources such as flaxseed or chia seeds. Since the conversion rate of ALA to DHA and EPA in humans is only about 0.5 to 5%, algae oil proves to be a particularly efficient and direct source of these biologically active omega-3 fatty acids.

What actually determines whether an algae oil is truly high-quality – or just average?
Quite simply: freshness.

The most sensitive aspect of algae oil is oxidation – that is, becoming rancid. As soon as the oil oxidizes, it loses its effectiveness and, in the worst case, can even do more harm than good .

At Algen Markt, we focus on maximum freshness and stability through three essential quality factors:

1- Genuine cold pressing in the raw food mill: With water cooling at only 29–30 °C , completely protected from light, oxygen and heat – thanks to our patented OMEGA-SAFE® process .
2. Hemp oil as a carrier oil: It naturally stabilizes the algae oil, has an antioxidant effect, and ensures a balanced omega-6:3 ratio . We deliberately chose not to use linseed oil because it oxidizes very quickly and therefore loses quality. Hemp oil, on the other hand, stays fresh longer, is rich in vitamin E and antioxidants , and impresses with its mild, nutty flavor .
3- Regular fresh production every 3 months: No old stock – each batch is freshly pressed and bears its pressing date directly on the bottle , for full transparency.

--> TOTOX – the indicator for true freshness

The so-called TOTOX value (Total Oxidation Value) shows how stable and fresh an oil is – that is, how “alive” its fatty acids still are.
A low value means maximum purity and effectiveness.
Our algae oil achieves values ​​of only 1–2 during production – an exceptionally low range even in the premium segment.

🇩🇪 Made in Germany , cold-pressed with water cooling using the OMEGA-SAFE® process , which consistently excludes light, oxygen and heat.
The result: an exceptionally fresh, mildly nutty oil , virtually free of oxidation and rich in active nutrients.

In addition, our algae oil is enriched with plant-based vitamin D3 from lichens , which supports the immune system , calcium metabolism , and the maintenance of normal bones and muscles .

One serving (5 ml) of our algae-hemp oil provides:

• 1,021 mg DHA
• 511 mg EPA
• 20 µg Vitamin D3 (= 800 IU)

This combination ensures excellent bioavailability, freshness, sensory quality and holistic nutrient supply – with a mild, nutty taste.

Dosage, Application & Storage

According to the EFSA , 250 mg of DHA and EPA per day is sufficient to achieve the desired health benefits. Our product provides significantly more with just 5 ml – ideal for daily basic intake.

Application:

• Take it on its own or combine it with cold foods (e.g. in smoothies, bowls, dressings)
• Do not heat , as omega-3 fatty acids are heat-sensitive.

Storage:

• Store in a cool, dark place and sealed (e.g., in the refrigerator after opening).
• Consume within 30 days of opening.

In the world of superfoods, there are few plants that combine so many nutrients in such a small package as spirulina . This bluish-green microalga is celebrated not only for its high nutrient density but also for its diverse benefits that contribute to normal bodily functions.

The combination of spirulina and algae oil is particularly interesting, as both are an excellent source of essential nutrients and support the heart, brain and immune system in their normal function.

Omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA, are particularly important for children's development. The EFSA confirms that DHA contributes to the normal development of the brain and eyes in infants. Therefore, the combination of spirulina and algae oil is especially beneficial, as it provides a plant-based source of these important fatty acids without the need for animal products. This nutrient combination supports not only adults but also children in their physical and mental development.

Spirulina and algae oil are an ideal combination that supports both normal physical and mental functions. Spirulina provides a wealth of vitamins, such as vitamin K, minerals, and antioxidants, while algae oil directly delivers the valuable omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, which are essential for the heart, brain, and eyes. Together, they provide the immune system with valuable nutrients and can contribute to reducing inflammation and improving overall quality of life. For anyone seeking a sustainable, plant-based source of essential nutrients, spirulina and algae oil are the perfect choice.
