Recent studies have demonstrated that edible algae can be an effective natural product for improving blood lipid profiles and for preventing inflammation and oxidative stress. Algae contain bioactive components, namely, carotenoids, polyphenols, EPA, DHA, fibers, and plant sterols, which can be beneficial for preventing heart diseases¹ ².

Algae has the potential to improve your cognitive performance naturally. Its compounds provide neuroprotection against a wide range of neurotoxic stimuli, as seen in numerous preclinical studies³. In a new study, omega-3 supplementation improved cognition and modified brain activation in young adults⁴.

Algae is an alternative to antibiotics that stimulates the immune response. Compounds made from microalgae have demonstrated a number of characteristics, including anticancer, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory⁵.

Omega-3s may prevent the action of substances that cause inflammation and aid in their treatment. 60 women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) participated in a 12-week research in which consuming a high dose of omega-3s daily lessened the intensity of symptoms ⁶.

The long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have been shown to improve LDL and blood cholesterol levels. In a recent review, including a total of 527 participants, both EPA and DHA lowered triglyceride concentration ⁷ ⁸ ⁹.

Recent findings provided evidence that algae and its extract interventions were beneficial for the regulation of human glycolipid metabolism¹⁰. The majority of the investigations on algae derived compounds, controls the blood glucose levels through the inhibition of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes¹¹.

Algae Omega-3s are in the form of triglycerides, which are the same form found in fish. Omega-3s from algae are on average 85% more effective than fish-based Omega-3s ¹².

More Potent

Fish oil supplements contain Omega-3s in the form of ethyl esters, which are less readily absorbed. It’s an “unnatural” form, as omega-3s in nature are primarily in triglyceride or phospholipid form.

Algae-derived Omega-3s are much more sustainable and environmentally friendly, cultivated in huge indoor fermentation pools. They are free of contaminants or pesticide residues ¹³.

Global Overfishing

1/3 of the world’s ocean are currently overfished. 2/3 are fished to their maximum sustainable yield. Fish oil has a huge impact on marine ecosystems ¹⁴.

Unlike sheep’s wool, the extraction process makes no use of pesticides, therefore there is no danger that algae vitamin D3 has any residual pesticides. In the US alone, 42% of adults are deficient, while 50% of children aged between 1 and 5, and 70% of children aged between 6 and 11 have low vitamin D stores ¹⁵.

Vitamin D3 Deficient

The wool industry is not a gentle place. Much of the world’s lanolin comes from farms, where animals are often kept in dire conditions. To add to the pain, the barbaric procedure of Mulesing is practiced. Mulesing is where the skin is sliced from the buttocks of lambs, without painkillers, to produce a scar-free wool ¹⁶.
