Flaxseed and chia deliver ALA, which your body converts to EPA at under 10% and to DHA at under 1%. Fish oil delivers EPA/DHA but brings oxidation issues, heavy-metal filtering and a broken vegan promise. Microalgae is where fish get their omega-3 in the first place: preformed EPA + DHA, grown in controlled tanks, with zero ocean impact.

The Source
Where fish get it from.
Fish don't make omega-3. They eat the algae that does. Essential 02 goes straight to that source: EPA and DHA grown in controlled tanks, harvested fresh and bottled with published oxidation values.
The Formula

The Daily Spoon
No fish. No burps. No compromise.
One 5ml spoon of clean citrus, taken straight or invisible in your morning shake. The easiest habit in your stack.
What to expect.
Omega-3 is a slow, measurable build, and the rare supplement you can verify in your own blood work.
Building blood levels
Omega-3s incorporate into your cell membranes gradually. Daily consistency matters far more than dose timing, and the spoon quickly becomes part of the morning ritual.
The index responds
This is when your omega-3 index, the share of EPA+DHA in red blood cell membranes, measurably rises. If you blood-test, this is the marker to watch.
A lifetime marker
An omega-3 index of 8%+ is where the research points for the long game. Maintenance is the point. This is a keep-forever staple, not a cycle.
Individual results vary. Beneficial effects for DHA/EPA claims are obtained with a daily intake of 250mg.
Is it for you?
Not intended for persons under 18, or during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical advice.
Questions
Fish don't produce omega-3. They accumulate it from algae. We go straight to the source: preformed EPA and DHA grown in controlled tanks, with no heavy-metal filtering, no overfishing, no fishy aftertaste, and a vegan label that stays honest.
Flax, chia and hemp deliver ALA. Your body must convert ALA to EPA (under 10% efficiency) and DHA (under 1%). For the outcomes people take omega-3 for, meaning brain, heart, vision and the omega-3 index, you need preformed EPA/DHA. Algae oil delivers exactly that.
TOTOX measures how oxidised (rancid) an oil is. It's the single most important quality marker for omega-3, and the one cheap brands never disclose. We publish the value for every batch alongside our third-party purity tests.
Light, clean citrus, designed to be pleasant straight off the spoon or invisible inside your morning Protocol 01 shake. No fish burps, because there's no fish.
Cool and dark before opening; refrigerate after opening and use within 60 days. The bottle is sized as a 30-day supply, so freshness is never an issue on subscription.
