Algae Oil

NORSAN algae oil

Plant-based omega-3 - 100% vegan

Microalgae Schizochytrium

Algea oil is extracted from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp., which has a high content of the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. Most algea oils (developed so far) contain only DHA. However, our body needs both DHA and EPA, so with Schizochytrium sp. we had the right raw material for the NORSAN Omega-3 Vegan oil and capsules.

Sustainability

Algea oil is the sustainable answer for adequate intake of omega-3 fatty acids.

Marine habitats have a natural limit to the amount of fish that can be caught without damaging fish stocks and the marine environment. On the other hand, there is a great need for omega-3 fatty acids, as 9 out of 10 people are significantly omega-3 deficient.

The solution lies in algae oil because it is grown in artificial seawater and therefore there is no real limit to the amount that can be grown. Since these microalgae are also the food base for fish and krill, consuming algea oil is a step (or two) further and goes straight to the source.

Vegetable algae oil - 100% vegan

NORSAN algae oil is a 100% vegetable oil and therefore suitable for a vegan diet. The algae oil is produced in different facilities than those for fish oil. With a high content of both the marine omega-3s DHA and EPA, NORSAN algae oil offers a true vegan alternative to consuming fish or fish oil.

Extraction

The alga is grown in artificial seawater and then fermented in an aqueous environment. The crude oil is extracted using a centrifuge. The process is particularly gentle on the fatty acids. NORSAN Algae Oil is produced in an oxygen-free processing environment so that our oil is optimally protected against oxidation. The cultivation of the algae also makes the algae oil very low in pollutants. We have used a modern plant that filters the oil in a unique way.

LOW TOTOX VALUE

The algea oil has a very low oxidation value. Oxidation causes an unpleasant odor and negatively affects the taste. The oxidation value (TOTOX value) can be seen as a "freshness value"; the lower the value, the fresher the oil. For algea oil, the TOTOX value ranges between 3 and 5, indicating very high freshness.
