Will Oceans Alive Replace Fish or Krill Oil?
We get asked all the time whether Oceans Alive is a replacement for fish oil, krill oil and all the other kinds of ocean-sourced oils that are out there. What’s really important to know about Oceans Alive is that it contains nothing but ocean minerals and marine phytoplankton. Marine phytoplankton is the nutritional foundation of the sea.
- All fish
- All krill
- All marine life…
Get their oils from marine phytoplankton.
With that in mind, the problem with fish and krill oils becomes clear: you’re getting your nutrition second-hand and losing a lot of value in the process.
As soon as the marine phytoplankton is consumed, only a percentage of its full nutritional value actually gets absorbed by the fish or krill. That percentage gets lower and lower as you move up the food chain.
After the phytoplankton are eaten by plankton, the plankton are then eaten by krill and so on and every time a smaller amount of oil is available to be absorbed by the creature doing the eating. The nutrients can even change chemically throughout this process.
For example, marine phytoplankton is a phospholipid. As it moves higher into the food chain, in fish oil particularly, it becomes a triglyceride and is not as well-absorbed by the human body.
The solution?
If you just go back to the foundation of all that oil (the marine phytoplankton), you get an exponential curve of value when it comes to omega-3’s — especially EPA.
EPA is what you want from an ocean-sourced oil. You hear a lot about DHA these days when you research these types of oils, but that’s a structural type of essential fatty acid, and you don’t have to get that from fish or krill oil. You can get it from many different algae. The marine phytoplankton that’s in Oceans Alive contains both EPA and DHA.
The fact is…
Your body can absorb all of the essential fatty acids from marine phytoplankton better than from krill or fish oil. Absorption… bioavailability… all of these different terms that people use to describe your body’s ability to actually use the nutrient that you’re consuming is extremely low with oils, more and more so the higher up the food chain you go.
That’s why marine phytoplankton is by far the best way to get any essential fatty acids from the ocean. It’s concentrated and you only need a small amount each day to give you all the nutrients you need.
Plus, our marine phytoplankton is grown in a photo-bioreactor —not harvested from the ocean itself. That means that it’s cleaner than fish or krill (or phytoplankton taken from the sea). By growing the phytoplankton in a bioreactor we are able to prevent heavy metals and chemical toxins like you’d find in the ocean from ever going near the finished product.
Oceans Alive contains the cleanest, purest, most powerful marine phytoplankton that I’ve ever seen. I travelled around the world to find the best nutrients when I was dealing with my health crisis. Discovering these strains of phytoplankton is what made the difference for me between an early grave and top level health.
