PRLog -- Omega 3 supplements are a multi-billion dollar a year industry worldwide, expected to grow to $20 B by 2020, with products derived primarily from crude fish oil (or from other sea-life like krill). Algae oil is a sustainable, ocean-friendly, source of omega 3's unmatched in plant-based alternatives. Fysh Oil® is a new dietary supplement from Tofuna Fysh®, cultivated from lab-certified algae high in DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), the essential fatty acid scientifically demonstrated to improve heart & brain health. As the market for plant-based foods grows, supplement makers look to keep up with trends to meet demand. Dr. Scott Doughman PhD., managing Fysh oil® production, in collaboration with Tofuna Fysh®, has this to say:
"Plant-based diets with abundant fruit and vegetable intake, while otherwise wholly nutritious, cannot provide adequate levels of DHA efficiently. Since the human body readily converts DHA into all other Omega-3's, algae oil is the most effective way to supplement any diet with essential fatty acids. Seed sources, like flaxseed (high in alpha-linolenic acid [ALA]), are not an adequate substitute and unless an individual eats two servings of fish per week minimum (or supplements)
they are likely to be at sub-optimal levels."
So "Y" Fysh®, not fish? Tofuna Fysh® is dedicated to conservation through food and education with products that are "ocean-inspired, plant-based"
. The Y represents a plant, as illustrated across their expanding line of vegan goods: Fysh® sauce and Tofuna Fysh® veggie salad (classic 'tuna' salad, chickpea of the seaTM, & spicy ceviche), which use certified organic seaweed for ocean-flavor and nutritional benefits. Fysh oil®, made with Chromista micro-algae (
Schizochytrium sp.), is the company's first foray into the highly competitive supplement market. Tofuna Fysh® launched in May, 2015 and was founded by Zach Grossman in Portland, Oregon.
