Most pet Omega-3s are extracted fish oils. PhytoSmart grows whole-cell Omega-3 directly from algae, the original source fish get it from, and never extracts it. Here is what that difference means.
| PhytoSmart whole-cell algae | Typical extracted fish oil | |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Grown from algae, the original Omega-3 source | Wild-caught or farmed fish |
| Extraction | Fresh and unextracted | Extracted and refined oil |
| Heat processing | None | Common in refining |
| Oxidation | Protected inside the whole cell | Oils are prone to oxidation |
| Heavy metals like mercury | None | Risk varies by source fish |
| Persistent organic pollutants | None | Risk varies by source fish |
| Sustainability | No fish harvested, truly sustainable | Pressure on marine fisheries |
| Fishy smell at feeding | Fish-free | Often noticeable |
| Made in | Maine, USA | Varies |

Algae is where Omega-3s originate. PhytoSmart delivers DHA and EPA without the fish in between.
Keeping the Omega-3 inside the whole algae cell protects it from the oxidation that degrades bottled oils.
A palatable crumble that shakes onto food. No pumps, no capsules, no fishy kitchen.
