Qualitas debuts vegetarian, EPA-rich, polar lipid-structured omega-3 oil

QUALITAS Health has recently introduced its first consumer products based on Almega PL, signifying its transition from R&D to the commercialisation of premium algal omega-3 oil.

The Almega PL is a vegetarian, EPA-rich, polar lipid-structured omega-3 oil. It contains omega-3 fatty acids with phospholipids and glycolipids, which improve digestibility. The source is Nannochloropsis oculata, a non-GMO strain of microalgae with a high level of EPA omega-3 and unique polar-lipid structure.

Qualitas, which makes high-value vegetarian food supplements and pharmaceutical ingredients based on microalgae, is the first to manufacture and commercialise omega-3 nutrition ingredients using phototropic algae technology.

According to CEO Yuri Shoshan, “Making the transition from R&D to commercial scale is always a challenge and this is a first, major step. Meeting this commercial milestone—successful commercialisation—squarely places Qualitas Health as a global leader in next-generation omega-3s.”
