Algae oil, like any marine-derived product, has the potential to contain heavy metals — but high-quality algae oil is produced under strict contamination control standards. Choosing a product that is rigorously tested and produced in clean, controlled environments is key to safety and purity.

Safe algae oil comes from closed-system fermentation, not wild harvesting:

• Produced in stainless-steel fermentation tanks without exposure to ocean contaminants
• Tested for heavy metals, PCBs, dioxins, and other environmental toxins
• GMO-free and free from oxidation-prone solvents when manufactured responsibly
• Safer than many fish oil sources, which accumulate toxins via the marine food chain

The safety of algae oil depends on sourcing and testing:

• Algae grown in closed fermentation systems avoids marine pollutants found in wild ocean environments ¹.
• Studies confirm properly sourced algae oils are free from mercury and PCBs common in fish-derived omega-3s ².
• Algae DHA oils have been shown to be both safe and effective in infants, pregnant women, and elderly adults ³.

Purity comes down to how the algae is cultivated and processed — not all oils are created equal.

Algae oil is a clean, sustainable source of omega-3s — as long as it’s sourced responsibly and tested for contaminants. Look for closed-system fermentation, third-party purity testing, and transparency in manufacturing.

⚠️ Avoid unverified or low-cost algae oils — always seek pharmaceutical-grade, certified clean products.
