Marine Omega-3 begins in the ocean with one of the most basic organisms–algae. Using energy from the sun, these algae create the short fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and the long fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Fatty acids: ALA, DHA

Algae are consumed by plankton, and plankton are then consumed by fish. Both the plankton and fatty fish such as anchovy, sardine, and mackerel convert the short chain ALA into long chain eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and more DHA.
