Canada’s Better Origin Ingredients Raises $1.25M to Become a Go-to Supplier of Plant-Based Omega-3s

Better Origin Ingredients, a Canadian distributor of premium lipid ingredients, has secured $1.25 million in funding to become a leading supplier of plant-based DHA, a type of omega-3 fatty acid crucial for brain, eye, and muscle health. The company offers the highest natural concentrations of DHA on the market and aims to provide brands with the shortest lead times in the industry by expanding their North American inventory and speeding up delivery from their warehouses.

As the exclusive distributor of Fermentalg’s Origins® algal oils and a partner to Nature’s Crops International’s Ahiflower®, Better Origin offers advanced lipid sources that have achieved EU novel food approval and Non-GMO Project Verification. They also have launched Blue Origins, an antioxidant derived from microalgae approved as a natural blue colorant for products. Additionally, they provide ready-to-use omega-3 solutions for formulators to create stable and bioavailable products easily, helping brands differentiate and launch clean-label offerings.

With a focus on redefining lipid nutrition through transparency, science, and speed, Better Origin Ingredients is committed to providing brands with high-quality ingredients from the best origins. Their products, including algae-based omega-3 supplements, have been shown to support cardiovascular health more effectively than traditional fish oils, making them an appealing choice for brands looking to enhance their product offerings.
