Fish is absolutely one of the best natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). However, at least 39% of Americans express a desire to eat more vegan food. Roughly 18–23% of Americans follow a diet that significantly reduces or eliminates animal products, which aligns with the growing interest in plant-based alternatives, including vegan omega-3 supplements. AlgaLab® Lyxia is a notable brand in the realm of sustainable, vegan omega-3 sources. It is derived from algae, specifically cultivated to provide high-quality EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) without the need for fish. AlgaLab® Lyxia’s approach is rooted in environmental stewardship and sustainability, utilizing purified seawater, sunlight, and CO₂ to cultivate algae, ensuring that their process is eco-friendly and minimizes the impact on marine life. We chose AlgaLab® Lyxia because it represents a forward-thinking approach to nutrition, combining scientific innovation with ethical practices to support both human health and environmental sustainability. ^†

Benefits

• Non-GMO: Their omega-3 oils are free from animal components and genetically modified organisms.
• Vegan omega-3 supplements, especially those derived from algae oil, are becoming increasingly popular as awareness grows about sustainability, dietary restrictions, and ethical concerns.
• The EPA from algae is presented in its natural polar lipid form, which is even more bioavailable than the triglyceride form found in fish oil. †
• Studies have shown that the uptake of DHA from algal oil is comparable to that from fish oil, making it a viable alternative for those seeking plant-based sources of omega-3s 3. This is particularly beneficial for vegans and vegetarians who may struggle to find adequate sources of these essential fatty acids. †
• In a study where subjects received 600mg DHA from either algal oil or fish oil, had a similar increase in DHA levels. Another study showed similar uptake of DHA from either 600mg DHA from algal oil or cooked salmon. †
• Algae is naturally rich pigments like chlorophyll and beta-carotene, which offer additional health benefits. †
