Omega-3 is easily the most popular supplement in America. Recent studies have found that roughly 8% of adults—or about 19 million people—take some kind of omega-3 fatty acid supplement. But, the harvesting of fish for these supplements is having a ripple effect on our oceans. Omega-3 supplements come from fish in the critical layer of the ocean biosphere that are essential for preserving ecosystem dynamics. With no signs of slowing down, the industry risks permanently damaging our marine ecosystems and impacting the ocean’s resiliency to climate change.

Corinna Bellizzi is taking the lead in changing the tide as she hopes to prevent yet another human-caused environmental imbalance. Corinna is a natural products industry specialist who has earned a reputation for leading the development and growth of responsible brands like Nordic Naturals. Given her concern for the future health of both people and the planet, she shifted her focus from fish-sourced to algae-sourced omegas in 2016. Today, she leads Örlö Nutrition, a brand that is cultivating the world’s first carbon-negative omega-3 supplement. During this episode, Corinna and I had an insightful conversation about the importance of extracting less and supplying more when it comes to our oceans, and the potential that algae has to revolutionize the omega-3 industry.
