life’s™OMEGA
Plant-based Omega-3High concentration of DHA & EPA in a single, sustainable sourceProduced in the USA, life’s™OMEGA is the first plant-based alternative to traditional fish oil. Made from ocean algae, this pure, potent and natural source of both DHA and EPA removes complexity for the manufacturer. The single source of both fatty acids requires no blending, and no compromise.
Health Benefits Of Omega-3Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients found in fish and certain plant oils. They include ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). All three play an important role in normal human growth and development and have clinically-supported benefits to human nutrition and health for all ages, and across the life span.
High market need for Omega-3 due to
underconsumption.
DHA and EPA have life-long benefits for heart, brain and
eye health.
Plant-based Omega-3 DHA and EPA directly sourced
from natural, non-GMO algae fermented via a proprietary
process and completely traceable from
end to end.
Overfishing contributes to the instability of marine
ecosystems, depletion of fish sources and ultimately
climate impact. life’s™OMEGA is 100% plant-based, with no
impact to the world's fish population.
Controlled, indoor fermenting of marine plants
for life’s™OMEGA does not require outdoor growing ponds, resulting in a very
small environmental footprint.

Enriching lives, protecting our planet
62% of consumers prefer a plant-based source of Omega-3.*
Among non-users of Omega-3, the preference
for plant-based is even stronger.
Algal ingredients are not new in the nutritional space, but
renewed interest has increased their profile and demand. Consumers are becoming
more familiar with algae and its affiliation with health and
wellness, nutrition, sustainability, biotechnology, and the future. An algal or plant-based source
can drive increased interest in a brand and attract attention from
new users.

62% As the world changes, we believe the need for more sustainable choices in every facet of life will become increasingly important. Population growth puts products that help people live healthy lives in high demand. This includes Omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, which support human health during the entire lifecycle – from pregnancy and infancy to aging. DSM is committed to supporting consumers and brands as they attempt to balance fulfilling nutritional needs while positively impacting the global environment.
As the world turns
Algae as a superfood
Due to overfishing and other detrimental environmental factors we will not have enough fish in the ocean to feed the world’s growing population. Therefore it is imperative to identify viable and sustainable Omega-3 alternatives like the unique life’s™OMEGA.
Fish - a diminishing natural resource
From start to finish, life’s™OMEGA is manufactured in state-of-the-art facilities in the USA that specialize in fermentation under strict DSM quality standards. The journey starts with an algae cell culture that is grown under a controlled, proprietary process and results in a consistently pure, naturally potent and effective ingredient for human nutrition.
Trust and potency
DSM uses environmentally responsible fermentation to cultivate life’s™OMEGA, indoor conditions with water (not solvent) processing. Other algae products on the market are often grown in ponds located on arid land, exposing the algae to potential contaminants such as pesticides and other chemicals in the open air, water, and ground. DSM has made significant investments in facilities to produce trusted, traceable, pure and potent life’s™OMEGA for human nutrition and health.
