OmegAlgae® TG520: Vegan Omega-3s (DHA + EPA) Without the Fish
If you want the benefits of fish oil but dislike the fishy taste, worry about marine contaminants, or prefer a plant-based option, you’ll want to know about OmegAlgae® TG520.
This supplement features omega-3-rich algal oil from marine microalgae, offering a sustainable source of the same key omega-3s found in fish oil: DHA and EPA. Notably, it is vegan and non-GMO, and it provides a naturally high level of DHA, making it a worthy consideration.
What is algal oil—and how is it different from fish oil?
It is interesting to note that fish do not actually produce omega-3s; they obtain them through the marine food chain, which begins with microalgae. Using algal oil provides omega-3s directly from the original source.
OmegAlgae® TG520 is described as:
A sustainable, pure oil from marine microalgae
Vegan (no fish needed)
Free of heavy metals
No fishy taste
Non-GMO
Plant-sourced
Why the “TG” form matters
OmegAlgae® TG520 provides omega-3 fatty acids in the triglyceride (TG) form.
Triglycerides are fatty acids bound to a glycerol molecule, which helps with stability. The omega-3 fats found naturally in fish are also present as triglycerides. This product uses the same TG form.
Simply put, this is an omega-3 format that the body recognizes. Product information indicates that algal oil is bioavailable like fish oil, so it functions similarly in the body.
With this in mind, let's explore how DHA and EPA each play unique roles:
Most people know omega-3s are important, but not everyone realizes DHA and EPA play different roles.
This formula naturally contains more DHA and has a higher DHA:EPA ratio than many fish oils. DHA is the omega-3 most associated with:
Healthy cognitive function in adults *
Mental development in children *
This makes OmegAlgae® TG520 a logical choice for those who want to prioritize brain-focused omega-3 support, while still obtaining EPA as part of the blend.
