"Changing the industry"
The food -, nutraceutical - and pharmaceutical industry are looking for innovations that respond to an increasing awareness of the health benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids such as DHA.
Customers' focus is increasingly shifting towards health, longevity and sustainability. Changing customer demands call for innovation in the industry; ingredient suppliers are aware of the increasing need for plant-based, sustainable products that support health and longevity. Algae-derived DHA offers an answer these demands, presenting a future-proof alternative to animal-based DHA products. |
Our product range consists of algal Omega-3 fatty acid DHA products. From DHA oils, powders, biomass to highly specialized oils for the food and nutraceutical industry that we bring to the global market as a B2B ingredient supplier.
After years of development, Progress Biotech was the first company that introduced a zero-flavor, zero-odor and zero-color DHA algal oil to the global market. These unique features open up possibilities for product development teams around the world to create innovative products without the drawback of animal-based oils.
Progress Biotech is the holder of the EU novel food license for algal DHA products as communicated by the European Commission Health and Consumers Directorate-General, on May 27th, 2014. our products |

Why DHA?
Awareness of the benefits of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is increasing amongst customers and the scientific community. Together with the growing customer demand, a continuous stream of scientific studies is increasing our knowledge on the health benefits of DHA. The European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) recommends consumption of 250mg of DHA each day to maintain general health and well-being. In other markets, similar or higher daily dosages are recommended by authorised bodies. DHA-specific health claims supported by EFSA are:

Co-development
Over the past few years, the demand for high DHA oils combined with a minimal color, smell and odor footprint has been growing. These products are expanding the field of oil application, presenting new opportunities to product development teams. The availability of such products would also enable more creative and niche-oriented companies to develop new products. Progress Biotech has successfully combined a pure and stable algal oil product with the best available refining and processing techniques, resulting in a colorless, flavorless and odorless high DHA algal oil. Algal oil that is free of color, odor and flavor opens up a whole new range of applications that were previously off limits for traditional (animal-based) Omega-3 products. Our products can be incorporated in a variety of delivery systems that are off-limits for traditional Omega-3 oils. These include capsules, gummies, chewables, chocolate and direct-intake emulsions. |
In addition to the use of oils, encapsulated products such as DHA powders are available when dry mixing of ingredients is required.
