Difference between vegan krill oil and algae oil

What is the difference between Testa DHA + EPA and Testa vegan krill oil?

Testa Vegan Krill Oil DHA & EPA Omega-3 contains, in addition to the active omega-3 fatty acids DHA + EPA, two additional active substances: astaxanthin and phospholipids. The last two active substances mentioned have the effect that it is better absorbed into the blood.

Because these capsules have two additional active substances and therefore also a different ratio of DHA + EPA per capsule, we recommend taking 2 capsules per day for Vrill. This means that a box of Vrill Omega-3s will last you less time than a box of our DHA or DHA & EPA Algae Oil capsules.

What are the benefits of our Vegan Krill Oil Vrill?

1. Testa Vegan Krill Oil DHA + EPA is, in addition to a high daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids, namely 280 mg DHA and 160 mg EPA (with a daily intake of 2 capsules), also rich in phospholipases and astaxanthin. This allows the oil to be better absorbed by the body.

2. Phospholipids are important building blocks for our cell membranes. The cell membrane is the outer boundary of every living cell in our body. All substances that need to enter or leave the cell must pass through the membrane. A good condition of all our cell membranes is therefore essential for good health.

3. Astaxanthin is a carotenoid made by plankton, algae and certain plants, fungi and bacteria to protect themselves from the harmful effects of sunlight and oxygen; the highest concentration of astaxanthin available in nature is found in microalgae. Astaxanthin is a powerful and versatile antioxidant that can protect our cells from external damage even more effectively than vitamin E.

Why Would You Choose Vrill Over Regular Algae Oil?

While both algae oil and vegan krill oil deliver DHA and EPA, they offer slightly different benefits depending on your health priorities:

• Algae Oil (DHA + EPA): Ideal for general wellness, pregnancy, brain development, and heart function. Simple, clean, and sustainable, this is the baseline omega-3 capsule for most Testa users.
• Vrill (DHA, EPA + Antioxidants): Offers additional support for people who want enhanced absorption and antioxidant protection. Great for those with increased oxidative stress, such as athletes, people with demanding lifestyles, or those seeking healthy aging support.

If you’re looking to cover your basic omega-3 needs in the most efficient and eco-friendly way, Testa Algae Oil DHA + EPA is a perfect daily solution. But if you’re seeking more from your supplement—especially when it comes to cell health and antioxidant defense—Vrill may be your go-to!

What Makes Testa Vrill Different From Traditional Krill Oil?

Unlike traditional krill oil that is harvested from shrimp-like marine animals in Antarctic waters, Testa Vrill is 100% vegan. It’s made without harming marine ecosystems or animals, and it’s free from mercury, microplastics, and ocean pollutants. Our Vrill capsules are developed with algae-sourced DHA and EPA, plant-based phospholipids, and astaxanthin, making it a true alternative with no compromise.

Plus, many people avoid krill and fish oil for ethical reasons. By choosing Testa Vrill, you’re supporting a supplement that’s in line with plant-based values and environmental responsibility.

Who Should Take Vrill?

Vrill is ideal for:
• People who want extra antioxidant protection
• Those under high mental or physical stress
• Adults looking to support graceful aging and cellular integrity
• Anyone seeking high bioavailability and fast-acting absorption

That said, both Testa DHA + EPA and Vrill offer excellent support for heart, brain, and eye health. It’s simply a matter of which formula fits best with your goals and lifestyle. Still unsure which one’s right for you? Start with your needs: everyday wellness or optimized performance? Either way, you’re choosing a supplement that protects both your health and that of our oceans.
