life’s®OMEGA
Our unique, vegetarian EPA and DHA from marine algae
The planet-friendly key to better health
life’s®OMEGA is the first and only commercially available algal-based omega-3 oil that provides the health benefits of both eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in one single, quality source.
By delivering the health benefits of both EPA and DHA, it enables you to fortify your food and beverages and appeal to a new generation of conscious consumers – including vegans and vegetarians.
But it also enables these people to enjoy the multiple benefits of omega 3 fatty acids with zero impact on the marine ecosystem.
Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are widely recognized and scientifically proven for their benefits to heart, brain, immune and eye health - as well as supporting sports performance, sleep and positive mood.
With most consumers worldwide still not reaching the recommended daily intake from their diet*, life’s®OMEGA therefore represents a golden opportunity for you to help close this nutrition gap in a way that’s better for our life - and better for our planet.

life’s®OMEGA in dairy and plant-based alternatives to dairy: a perfect match
Based on our proprietary research, more than 50% of consumers buying dairy products look for omega-3 on the ingredient list. And in plant-based, dairy consumers said they looked for omega-3 before protein, even.
Fortification of dairy products with omega-3s can enable consumers, at all stages of life, to enjoy all the health benefits of EPA and DHA, via the products they already love to consume every day.
With life’s®OMEGA we can help you grasp these opportunities and overcome some of the traditional fortification challenges associated with a whole range of both traditional and alternatives to dairy applications.
For example, life’s®OMEGA avoids the oxidation effects that often cause off-smell and off-taste in dairy fortified with long chain poly unsaturated fatty acids. It also delivers excellent shelf-life stability – and at very small dosages.
In all cases, you can always be certain that our dairy experts will always be on-hand to support you with in-depth formulation expertise at every step of the process.
