DESCRIPTION

Algae Oil – 40% DHA is a vegan-friendly alternative to animal-derived sources of Omega-3 essential fatty acids, extracted from microalgae scientifically known as Schizochytrium sp. The raw material ranges from a light, pale to bright yellow with a characteristic aroma and flavor profile. Medium to high DHA Algae oil has a similar viscosity as vegetable oils at 95 degrees F (35 degrees C) or higher. When algae oil is stored at cooler temperatures (86 degrees F or 30 degrees C and lower), the viscosity of the material will increase due to naturally occurring saturated fatty acids. The presence of these solids will increase as the temperature decreases, having a direct impact on the overall viscosity of algae oil. Having a minimum of 40% DHA content, docosahexaenoic acid, this oil has increased in popularity over the years throughout the nutraceutical industry, providing a plant-based supplement option of omega-3 fatty acids. Outside of the supplement industry, bulk algae oil, often referred to as algal, is gaining traction in the personal-care and cosmetic realm for its moisturizing properties.
