Real Omega-3 Nutrition
Why Whole Cell Algae?
Our supplements start with whole cell marine micro-algae, not processed byproducts—so your pet gets what nature intended.How We Stack Up
A clear difference between whole food omega-3's and processed extracted oils.
Whole-Cell vs Extracted
Fish Oil Products -
Highly Processed and Extracted
Oils are extracted with heat, pressure, or solvents, which damages fragile omega-3 molecules and destroys natural enzymes and antioxidants.
Are chemically processed and treated to mask unpleasant odors and flavors.
PhytoSmart™ -
Whole Cell Algae
The DHA & EPA remain inside the natural algae cell structure, untouched by heat or chemical solvents.
This preserves the natural enzymes that act as protective antioxidants (like superoxide dismutase) that keep the omega-3s stable and bioactive.
No Oxidation vs Spoilage
Fish Oil Products -
Prone to oxidation
Extracted oils begin oxidizing quickly—even before they’re bottled.
Oxidized omega-3s lose their benefits and can become pro-inflammatory.
Many oils contain synthetic preservatives to try to stabilize them.
PhytoSmart™ -
No oxidation, rancidity, or spoilage risk
Because the oils are protected inside intact cells, there's virtually no risk of rancidity.
No need for refrigeration, and no added preservatives or masking agents.
Bioavailability vs Reduced Efficiency
Fish Oil Products -
Lower bioavailability
Most fish or algae oils are in triglyceride or ethyl ester form, which are less efficiently absorbed—especially by the brain and retina.
This reduces their functional impact.
PhytoSmart™ -
Readily Absorbed & Utilized Omega-3s
Naturally occurring in a form that is more readily absorbed and better utilized by the brain, eyes, heart, and joints.
Studies show phospholipid DHA is more efficiently incorporated into cell membranes and tissues than triglyceride or ethyl ester forms.
Grown vs Fish Risks
Fish Oil Products -
Fish-based risks
Fish oils may contain trace toxins, including PCBs, dioxins, mercury, and microplastics—especially if poorly purified.
Many are sourced unsustainably, contributing to overfishing and marine degradation.
PhytoSmart™ -
Grown in the USA under patented, Sterile closed-loop conditions
Sustainably farmed in controlled environments—not harvested from oceans.
Free of microplastics, heavy metals, mercury, dioxins, or marine contaminants.
Gentle on Digestion vs Digestive Issues
Fish Oil Products -
Digestive issues
Fish oil can cause loose stool, vomiting, or fishy burps in sensitive pets.
Some pets outright refuse them due to strong taste and smell.
PhytoSmart™ -
Gentle on digestion
No fishy burps, loose stools, or aversion in picky eaters.
Pets tolerate the dry food topper format far better than oils or soft chews.
Whole food formulations that easily support sensitive digestive systems.
