Algae Oil Omega-3, 6, 9

At Fera, we are shifting our priorities to focus on sustainability and take little steps where we can to improve our carbon pawprint. The most common source of Omega-3 EPA and DHA is fish oil, and even though fish oil is here to stay, we are happy to give our pet parents a more sustainable option for their furry family members.

Here are 3 reasons why we created our Vegan Omega 3s:
1) Algae is incredibly sustainable, grows fast, and requires little maintenance (sunlight, moving saltwater, and some nutrients).

2) Using algae instead of fish allows us to alleviate pressure on marine life – think 16 million metric tonnes of wild fish – and to help preserve biodiversity in the ocean. 1kg of our Natural Marine Algal Oil, replaces 60kg of wild catch fish.
While the demand for omega 3s is growing, the supply of fish oil is in decline. Since the mid-1980s, fish oil supply has decreased by almost 50%. Current supply is at maximum levels and gradually reducing. Overfishing and the negative effect of global warming on fish stocks could lead to a further downward spiral in the supply of Omega-3 from fish oil.

3) For pets that have a fish allergy, we are happy to provide a source of omega 3s that is vegan and contains no animal products, gluten, dairy, soy, GMO, or sugar.

Our Vegan Omega 3s Oil is made from a special algal strain of Schizochytrium sp. naturally rich in EPA & DHA Omega-3, being the only one that has both EPA & DHA delivered in very high concentrations (more than 50%). This is the highest natural concentration of both EPA & DHA available on the market today.

It is also blended with organic flaxseed and non-GMO Vitamin E (from sunflowers making it soy-free)

1 serving (5ml) contains 150mg EPA and 460mg DHA, along with 1915mg ALA, 679mg Omega 6s, and 479mgs Omega 9s, which creates a perfect blend of Omega 3s, 6s, and 9s.

In comparison, our Fish Oil, which has the highest concentrations of EPA and DHA per serving on the market (900mg EPA + 600mg DHA per teaspoon), has a much higher overall Omega 3s focus and much less Omega 6s and 9s.

Think of our Vegan Omega-3s oil as a multivitamin having a good mixture of Omega 3s, 6s and 9s while our Fish Oil has the highest concentrations of EPA and DHA per serving in the market. That’s why we recommend giving both to benefit from a complete Omega-3s, 6s and 9s profile!

For a pet <15 lbs, the 8oz algae oil will last 96 days
15-45 lbs = 48 days
46-75 lbs = 24 days
>75 lbs = 16 days
