AlgaPrime™ DHA
The algae alternative to Omega-3
AlgaPrime™ DHA is a long chain omega-3 rich algae ingredient for the aquaculture, pet, and livestock industries.
Algae is the original source of long-chain omega-3s (EPA & DHA). The AlgaPrime™ DHA production facility embodies the principles of large scale sustainable production with low carbon, water, and land use impact.
Our facility embodies the principles of sustainable production to produce microalgae-based products with low carbon, water and land use impacts. To make AlgaPrime™ DHA, microalgae are grown in closed fermentation tanks where they transform renewable, sustainable plant sugars into algae containing omega-3-rich oil in a matter of days.
Global demand for omega-3s is growing in aquaculture, human and animal nutrition markets. As an alternative to ingredients like fish oil and oils present in feed meal produced from forage fish, AlgaPrime™ DHA can help reduce depletion of small marine fish.
