Pioneer in fish-free Omega-3 from algae since 2014

Since 2014, we have been developing fish-free Omega-3 from algae. With DHA and EPA without fish or krill as raw materials — good for you and for the ocean.

From baby food to Testa Omega-3

How it started

Our history begins with a question regarding DHA in baby food. That search made it clear how important a reliable DHA source with a controlled composition is. That is how we arrived at algae oil. Testa Omega-3 was born from that insight.

An issue in baby food

Within a sister company, we are working on baby food. There, it has become clear how important a reliable DHA source with a controlled composition is. Fish oil is not always the ideal solution for this. The search leads to algae oil: a stable, fish-free way to add DHA.

From research to brand: the birth of Testa

The knowledge and experience with algae formed the basis for Testa as we know it today. With a focus on science, quality and sustainability, a new alternative to traditional fish oil emerged: plant-based Omega-3.

Biodiversity as a starting point

We are becoming Captains within the Platform Biodiversity, Ecosystems and Economy. Together with other frontrunners, we are working on the question of how companies can grow without depleting nature and biodiversity. In doing so, we are putting algae oil on the map as a serious alternative to fish oil. Check the official name of the platform and the role title before going live.

Fish-free Omega-3 to neighboring countries

Testa Omega-3 takes the first steps outside the Netherlands. We are making fish-free Omega-3 from algae available in neighboring countries and continuing to build an international movement towards less dependence on fish oil.

International growth

We are further expanding our international presence. More and more people are choosing Omega-3 from algae as a fish-free alternative to fish and krill oil.

Now

From alternative to standard

Testa Omega-3 aims to develop fish-free Omega-3 from algae from an alternative into the logical standard. For everyone who wants DHA and EPA, without being dependent on fish or krill.

From discovery to conviction

What started with an issue regarding DHA in baby food grew into a clear conviction: fish-free Omega-3 must be accessible to everyone. That conviction determines how we develop our products, where we grow, and where we want to go as Testa Omega-3.

100% focus on algae

Since the start, we have focused entirely on DHA and EPA from algae. With this, we have been building a fully-fledged fish-free alternative for more than ten years.

Thoughtful down to the capsule

From our fish-free Vrill formula with Omega-3, phospholipids, and astaxanthin to vitamin E and individually protected blister packaging: we work out every detail for a reliable daily Omega-3.

Health without overexploitation

No fish or krill is needed for our Omega-3. By doing so, we choose a product that fits a healthy daily routine and puts less pressure on the ocean.
