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.
