Algae oil is a rich source of essential omega-3 fatty acids such as DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). DHA is crucial for our nervous system, brain, and vision. Omega-3 fatty acids are called essential because our bodies need them but cannot produce them efficiently on their own. Therefore, we must obtain omega-3 primarily through our diet or supplements. If you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, algae oil capsules are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids.
It is important to maintain a good balance between omega-3 and omega-6 in your body. You can do this by reducing omega-6 intake and increasing omega-3 in your diet. For good health, a ratio of >8.0 is desirable. Most people fall far short of this because in the Western world we eat too much processed food and too little fatty fish. Omega-6 is mainly found in vegetable oils such as sunflower, safflower, corn, and soybean oil. Try to limit the intake of heavily processed foods, margarine, and fried foods.
Omega-3 can be found in fatty fish (salmon, herring, sardines, anchovies, etc.), shellfish, algae, seaweed, and certain seeds like chia seeds.
