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 material has a bright yellow to orange appearance with a characteristic aroma and flavor profile, varying in viscosity depending on the temperature in which its stored in. 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 been growing in popularity over the years throughout the nutraceutical industry, allowing a plant-based supplement option of omega-3 fatty acids essential for the human body and overall health. Additionally, bulk algae oil, often referred to as algal, is gaining traction in the personal-care and cosmetic realm as further research reveals potential benefits when applied directly to the skin such as deep moisturization, anti-aging properties, unclogging of the pores, and improving discoloration.

Virgin is considered the natural/raw material with the characteristic color, flavor, and aroma. Refining removes these properties so the material is a lighter shade than the virgin material and often times clear, off-white, or white with little-to-no scent or flavor.
Refined, bleached (non-chemical process), deodorized. An "RBDW" product goes through a winterization ("W") process in addition to the RBD process.
Deodorized materials go through a non-chemical, high-vacuum process to reduce their natural aroma. While the aroma is not removed fully, a deodorized product’s aroma is less potent than the natural or unrefined variety.
QAI is our Organic Certifying Agency. Organic certification verifies that your farm or handling facility located anywhere in the world complies with the USDA organic regulations and allows you to sell, label, and represent your products as organic.
Non-Genetically Modified Organism; by definition, all organic materials are Non-GMO.
