The omega-3 fatty acids eicosapenteanoic acid (EPA) and decosapenteanoic acid (DHA) are essential for keeping our heart, brain and eyes healthy. Omega-3 fatty acids form messenger substances with an anti-inflammatory effect and thus have a positive effect on any sources of inflammation.

Omega-6 fatty acids, on the other hand, which are increasingly found in meat products, actually promote the development of foci of inflammation. According to nutritionists, the ratio of the two fatty acids should be 5:1 (omega-6:omega-3). However, the average ratio in German households with traditionally sausage- and meat-heavy fare is closer to 20:1.

The environmentally friendly alternative to fish oil and krill oil

As a purely vegetable food supplement , algae oil is free from environmental toxins such as mercury, PCBs and dioxins , as it comes from ultra-pure aquaculture. Algal oil does not degrade quickly , nor does it have an unpleasant fishy aftertaste or odor. There is also no unwanted belching. It is also ideal for vegans.
Classic fish oil , which is known for its Omega 3 content, must first be industrially cleaned to filter out harmful heavy metals. In addition, around 54 fatty sea fish are required to produce 90 capsules. The fish themselves absorb the omega-3 fatty acids by eating the algae. So why kill fish when we have direct access to the nutritious algae?
Algae oil protects the seas , which are already struggling with the decline in biodiversity due to overfishing. Some fish species have already become extinct, and this is to be feared for a number of others in the near future. With the increasing population, this process is further accelerated. In addition, more and more environmental toxins and industrial waste are making their way into our waters and are also damaging the entire ecosystem. Algae oil, however, is ecologically harmless and can be produced sustainably . In doing so, you are not only doing your health a favor, but also the environment and supporting the fight against overfishing.
