alGeepa is a new nutritional supplement lineup made by Qualitas Health. Read our alGeepa review to find out if it’s worth the price.
What Is alGeepa?
alGeepa is a series of plant powered nutritional supplements that promises to fuel your daily health and energy. Current alGeepa supplements include omega-3, eye health, cardio health, and joint health supplements. You take these supplements daily to support different aspects of your health.
The odd name of the supplement comes from the fact that alGeepa is derived from algae. The supplement lineup is officially categorized as “an algae-based vegan line of products”. As you may know, algae-based products have become enormously popular in recent years, and many people believe algae is one of the richest nutritional sources in the world today.
alGeepa is made by Qualitas Health, a Texas-based company. To bring alGeepa to market, Qualitas Health partnered with Texas retailer HEB, which will begin exclusively selling the premium omega 3 supplement line in stores throughout Texas at the end of March 2017.
alGeepa Products
There are four separate alGeepa supplements available today, although all four have certain things in common. For example, all alGeepa products are rich with algal omega 3 energy – just like the fatty acids you get in fish oil supplements. Each formula also contains a formula called Almega PL, which harnesses the long-chain omega-3 EPA in combination with polar lipids “for comparable absorption to krill oil”, explains the official website.
The four products currently available include the Omega-3 Complex, Ultimate Eye Health, Fact-Acting Joint Health, and Advanced Cardio Health.
Omega-3 Complex
This complex includes 100mg of DHA, 150mg of EPA, and 600mg of Almega PL EPA in each capsule. There’s also an additional 48mg of glycolipids and 24mg of phospholipids. The supplement is 100% plant-powered and comes in a vegetarian capsule. Like other omega supplements, you can use it to improve your brain health, heart health, and overall bodily health.
Ultimate Eye Health
The Ultimate Eye Health supplement contains 400mg of Almega PL EPA along with 100mg of EPA, 32mg of glycolipids, 16mg of phospholipids, 100mg of DHA, and 7mg of lutein. As you can see, the formula is similar to the Omega-3 Complex. The main difference is that alGeepa’s Ultimate Eye Health supplement also contains 7mg of lutein, a carotenoid that’s proven to enhance ocular health.
Fast-Acting Joint Health
The Fast-Acting Joint Health supplement claims to work in as little as one week to improve your joint health and reduce joint pain. Key ingredients in the formula include 320mg of Almega PL EPA along with 80mg of EPA, 24mg of glycolipids, 12mg of phospholipids, 500mg of glucosamine, and 250mg of Chinese skullcap extract (Univestin). These are similar to other joint health formulas you can find online today.
Advanced Cardio Health
The Advanced Cardio Health supplement promises to support cardiovascular function using 400mg of Almega PL EPA, 100mg of EPA, and 50mg of coenzyme Q10. Again, the main difference between Advanced Cardio Health and the other alGeepa supplements is that there’s an additional 50mg of coenzyme Q10, a popular molecule found in anti-aging products and cardiovascular formulas. However, fatty acids like EPA are proven ways to boost your cardiovascular health as well.
What Is Almega PL?
Obviously, the core ingredient in all of the supplements listed above is Almega PL. That’s a registered trademark formula created by the team behind alGeepa.
That formula is grown in farms in Imperial, Texas by Qualitas Health, which has “ten years of experience developing algae technology”, explains the About page. The company specializes in making algae-based nutritional supplements. Qualitas Health explains that algae can easily be grown on unproductive land that isn’t otherwise suitable for agriculture. No freshwater is required for cultivation, and algae relies on sunlight to drive photosynthesis (it’s phototropic).
But what exactly is Almega PL? Is it backed by any scientific evidence?
Almega PL is a 100% plant-based omega 3 EPA formula. It’s the same EPA that’s been shown to improve cardiovascular function, nervous system function, immunity, and neurotransmission in numerous studies to date. It’s also being marketed as a way to boost memory, concentration, and mood.
As the official Qualitis Health website explains, Almega PL “has created a new category to disrupt traditional fish and krill oil in the multibillion dollar omega-3 market.”
alGeepa Review Summary
alGeepa are Texas-grown algae-based supplements that work in a similar way to krill oil and fish oil supplements. The company promises that its EPA is absorbed at a similar rate to krill oil, but the supplements are available at a lower price than conventional krill oil supplements.
alGeepa supplements are currently available at HEB supermarkets across Texas. The supplements were just introduced in March 2017. alGeepa will be available on HEB store shelves starting March 28, 2017. It’s unclear how much they’ll cost – or how soon the supplements will be available to purchase online.
