What is algae oil?
Algae oil is a plant-based oil extracted from microalgae: small, single-celled organisms that occur naturally in seawater and fresh water. These algae are the original source of omega-3 fatty acids in the food chain. Fish contain omega-3 because they eat algae. So with algae oil you go straight to the source.
That is why algae oil is also called plant-based (or vegan) fish oil. Instead of getting omega-3 through fish, it is extracted directly from the algae that produce these fatty acids themselves. The algae are cultivated in closed, controlled and hygienic conditions, without any fish involved. That makes algae oil a sustainable and plant-based alternative, ideal for people with a plant-based (vegan or vegetarian) lifestyle.
Wat zijn DHA, EPA?
Omega-3 is een verzamelnaam voor verschillende essentiële vetzuren. Essentieel betekent belangrijk, maar ook dat we ze zelf niet kunnen maken (net als vitaminen) en uit onze voeding moeten halen. De bekendste vormen zijn DHA en EPA. Ze hebben ieder hun eigen rol in het lichaam.
DHA (docosahexaeenzuur) |
EPA (eicosapentaeenzuur) |
| DHA is een belangrijke bouwstof voor de hersenen en het netvlies van de ogen. Het speelt een rol bij het behoud van een normale hersenfunctie en gezichtsvermogen. DHA komt van nature vooral voor in vette vis en algen. | EPA ondersteunt onder andere de normale werking van het hart. Net als DHA wordt EPA voornamelijk aangetroffen in vis en algen. DHA en EPA worden vaak samen genoemd omdat ons lichaam de ene uit de ander kan maken. |

Omega-3 from plant-based foods
A comment we often hear: “But surely I get enough omega-3 from my plant-based diet” – people often refer to walnuts, flaxseed or avocado, for example, products that contain omega-3. These products contain omega-3 in the form of ALA.
Your body first has to convert ALA into EPA and DHA, the forms that contribute to:
- normal heart function**
- brain function*
- vision*
These conversions are very limited.
On average, only 5–10% of ALA is converted into EPA and 0,5–5% into DHA.
With a daily intake of 250 mg DHA* or 250 mg EPA/DHA**
Algae oil as a supplement
If you eat little or no fish, for example because of a vegetarian or fully plant-based lifestyle, you get virtually no direct EPA and DHA through food. You are then completely dependent on the conversion of ALA into EPA and DHA. And as explained earlier: this conversion is limited.
Arctic Blue high-dose algae oil:
✔ Contains directly absorbable EPA and DHA
✔ Is 100% plant-based
✔ Does not make you dependent on the conversion ALA → DHA/EPA
✔ Provides a high dose
That way you know for sure your body actually gets what contributes to:
❤️ normal heart function
🧠 brain function
👁 vision
So to enjoy the health benefits* of EPA and DHA, you would have to eat a lot of walnuts and avocados.
A handful of walnuts (30 g) provides around 150 mg of EPA+DHA after conversion. For the minimum advice of 250 mg per day you would therefore need almost double that.
Why choose algae oil?
Algae oil is increasingly chosen as a plant-based alternative to fish oil. Because omega-3 originally comes from algae, with algae oil you go straight to the source without any fish involved. That makes it a logical choice for people who care about food, sustainability and quality.
1. 100% plant-based
Algae oil is fully vegan omega-3 and contains no animal ingredients. This makes it suitable for anyone who wants to eat more plant-based or be less dependent on fish products
2. Sustainable alternative to fish oil
The oil is extracted from cultivated micro-algae in controlled systems. This reduces the pressure on fish stocks and helps protect biodiversity in the sea. Because no fishing is needed, the impact on oceans and natural ecosystems is also smaller
3. No fishy smell or reflux
A common reason to look for omega-3 without fish is the typical fishy aftertaste. Algae oil is known for its mild taste and the absence of fishy reflux
4. Controlled and pure production
Because algae are cultivated in a controlled environment, algae oil is very pure and has a low totox value (a measure of the freshness and quality of fats and oils, particularly fish oil)
Additional scientific benefits of algae oil DHA & EPA
Algae oil provides the essential omega‑3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, which play important roles in the body. Research shows that these fatty acids support multiple health benefits:
- Because of the high dose, this product is also good for blood pressure and blood fats (triglycerides), because:
- DHA and EPA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels with a daily intake of 2 g of EPA and DHA (the combined daily intake of EPA and DHA must not exceed 5 g).
- DHA and EPA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood pressure with a daily intake of 3 g of EPA and DHA. (The combined daily intake of EPA and DHA must not exceed 5 g.)
