Algolja –vegetabiliskt alternativ till fiskolja

Algae oil – vegetable alternative to fish oil

Algal oil – the plant-based alternative to fish oil

Omega-3 is one of the most important building blocks for our health, but the way we get these essential fatty acids is changing. As we become more aware of both the environment and health, interest is growing in an alternative to traditional fish oil – namely algal oil . But what exactly makes algal oil so special, and why are more and more people choosing it over fish oil?

From the original source – not the detour via the fish

Fish get their omega-3 from eating microalgae in the ocean. When you take an algal oil supplement, you go straight to the original source – without the detour via the fish. This algae is grown in closed, controlled environments where purity, quality and sustainable production can be ensured.

The result? A powerful, natural source of EPA , DHA and even DPA – three key fatty acids with great importance for our health.

Algal oil is a vegetable source of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which are important for several bodily functions. EPA contributes to the normal function of the heart, while DHA is essential for maintaining normal brain function and vision.

Some algal oils also contain DPA , another omega-3 fatty acid that acts as an intermediate between EPA and DHA. DPA has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and may contribute to cardiovascular health.

Algal oils with higher levels of EPA than DHA and that also contain DPA are relatively uncommon. Most algal oils tend to have higher levels of DHA compared to EPA.

It is clear from our blood tests to check the fatty acid profile that the vast majority of those who test themselves have low Omega-3 values, and especially low EPA. Therefore, it is extra important to consume an Omega-3 product with more EPA in relation to DHA daily.

Normally (60-80kg) at least 2000mg of Omega-3 per day is needed to achieve a recommended Omega-3 Index level of >8%.

ArcticMed Algal Oil Omega-3 Premium – unique composition for maximum effect

Most algal oils on the market contain more DHA than EPA – but ArcticMed has turned that around. With 1104 mg EPA and 770 mg DHA per daily dose (5 ml), this is one of the few products that resembles the fatty acid profile we get from fatty fish like sardines and anchovies and high-quality natural fish oil. It also contains 154 mg DPA – an often overlooked fatty acid that plays an important role in the body’s omega-3 metabolism.

This means you get an omega-3 profile that optimizes the body's absorption and function , with a particular focus on:

  • Heart and blood vessels

  • Inflammation balance

  • Mental well-being and focus

  • Joint health and recovery

  • Immune defense and cell protection
