Why take Omega-3 algae supplements instead of Omega-3 fish oil supplements?Updated a year ago

NothingFishy Omega 3 supplements are:

✅ 100% sustainable 
✅ 100% plant-based 
✅ 100% of your recommended DHA in each softgel

Need some more info? No worries, we'd love to explain. When choosing supplements, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the amount of information out there.  Here at NothingFishy, we want to give the power back to you by giving you all the key facts. 

Did you know that fish don't actually produce Omega-3 themselves? They get it from eating krill which have consumed algae. It's all part of the great circle of life!

At NothingFishy, we grow our own algae in a controlled environment away from the sea and extract our Omega 3 in a way that is sustainable. This means we don't contribute to overfishing or take anything away from the oceans or the creatures that eat algae. 

You may be wondering if algae-oil Omega 3 supplements have the same benefits and bioavailabilty (how efficiently it can be absorbed by the body) of fish-oil Omega 3 supplements, and this is a perfectly valid question. 
Usually, any claims of algae oil not being efficient are based on outdated science or by assuming that all algae oil is ALA (α-lipoic acid).
In reality, every study conducted on the efficacy of algae-based DHA has shown these to be comparable in bioavailability to fish-based Omega-3 oils.
