Why choose algae oil rather than fish oil?Updated a year ago

Fish oil is not a sustainable option as it has a major impact on oceans and marine wildlife. Studies have shown that if the fish industry continues the way it is going with destructive fishing techniques worldwide, there will be a complete collapse of world fish populations by 2048. At present, 25% of the global fish catch is currently used for the fish oil industry.

Our algae oil supplements on the other hand are produced in a controlled environment, meaning they do not come into any contact with delicate ocean ecosystems in any way during the process.

Algae oil is not only considered more sustainable than fish oil, but healthier too.  Fish consume pollutants, dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), mercury, heavy metals and other contaminants. These have all been found at dangerous levels in fish oil, which are then passed onto those who consume them. 

As our algae oil supplements are produced in a controlled environment, they do not contain the harmful substances that fish oil may contain.
