Microalgae-derived EPA oil is a next-generation sustainable Omega-3 ingredient produced from Nannochloropsis microalgae, a natural primary producer of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Unlike traditional marine oils derived from fish or krill, microalgae EPA is produced directly from photosynthetic microalgae cultivation, providing a pure, marine-independent, and environmentally responsible source of Omega-3 fatty acids.
This microalgae oil is naturally rich in polar lipids, including phospholipids, glycolipids, and betaine lipids, which contribute to superior biological absorption compared with conventional triglyceride-type fish oils. The unique lipid composition supports efficient delivery of EPA in the human body and may play a role in lipid metabolism, cardiovascular health, and anti-inflammatory pathways.
Microalgae EPA oil contains EPA without DHA, making it particularly suitable for formulations focusing specifically on cardiovascular health and triglyceride management. In addition, the absence of marine food-chain contaminants provides an additional safety advantage for high-purity nutritional applications.
The ingredient is widely used in dietary supplements, functional foods, nutraceutical formulations, and pharmaceutical intermediate research. With increasing global demand for sustainable Omega-3 sources, microalgae EPA oil has emerged as a leading alternative to fish-derived oils.
This product is suitable for softgels, capsules, functional beverages, nutrition powders, and other health-oriented formulations. OEM and customized specifications are available to meet specific formulation requirements for global manufacturers.

Omega-3 Algae EPA Ethyl Ester Oil from Nannochloropsis
Nannochloropsis Algal Oil EPA Ethyl Ester (EE) is a crude EPA-rich oil extract derived from the microalgae Nannochloropsis, a primary natural producer of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an essential Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid. Unlike traditional marine sources such as fish oil or krill oil, microalgae-based EPA is produced through controlled cultivation and photosynthetic carbon fixation, offering a sustainable, environmentally friendly, and traceable alternative for the global nutraceutical and functional food industries.
This product is supplied as an EPA ethyl ester (EE) crude extract, typically containing 170–250 mg/g EPA (17–25%), obtained through solvent extraction and preliminary esterification. It is designed as a cost-efficient intermediate raw material suitable for further purification, concentration, and formulation by manufacturers with refining capabilities.
Nannochloropsis-derived EPA oil is distinguished by its DHA-free composition, which makes it particularly attractive for cardiovascular health formulations where targeted EPA supplementation is preferred. The oil naturally contains unique polar lipid structures and bioactive compounds, which contribute to improved absorption and bioavailability compared with conventional triglyceride-based fish oils.
Due to its sustainability, purity, and functional benefits, this algal EPA oil is widely used as a key raw material in nutraceutical supplements, pharmaceutical intermediates, functional foods, medical nutrition, and advanced lipid research. Custom specifications, concentration levels, and bulk supply options can be provided to meet OEM and industrial production requirements worldwide.

Nannochloropsis Algal Oil EPA rTG is a refined omega-3 lipid ingredient derived from the marine microalgae Nannochloropsis, one of the primary natural producers of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Through advanced purification and enzymatic re-esterification technology, EPA is converted into the re-esterified triglyceride (rTG) structure, a molecular form known for its high absorption efficiency and superior bioavailability compared with conventional ethyl ester omega-3 oils.
Unlike traditional marine oils sourced from fish or krill, microalgae-derived EPA originates directly from the primary producers in the marine food chain. Cultivated through controlled photosynthetic processes, microalgae convert atmospheric CO₂ into valuable bioactive compounds, including EPA, polar lipids, polysaccharides, and peptides, providing a sustainable and environmentally friendly omega-3 source.
Nannochloropsis algal oil naturally contains EPA without DHA, making it particularly suitable for targeted cardiovascular and metabolic health applications where pure EPA formulations are desired. The oil is also naturally enriched with polar lipids and bioactive molecules, which may contribute to improved lipid metabolism and efficient fatty acid transport within the body.
Due to its high purity, excellent bioavailability, sustainability, and clean supply chain, refined rTG EPA algal oil is widely used by manufacturers in nutraceutical supplements, pharmaceutical ingredients, medical nutrition, functional foods, and advanced lipid research. Bulk supply and OEM customization are available to meet the formulation needs of global nutraceutical and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
