Reminder set

Omega-3 algae oil with a high EPA content of 40% and 22.5% DHA in a ratio of 16:9
1440mg omega-3 fatty acids per serving (27 drops)
100% plant-based, vegan omega-3 oil from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp.
Obtained using a patented, gentle high-pressure process
Bioactive complex of polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA, DHA and other omega-3 fatty acids
Synergy effects of unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids
Directly bioactive maritime omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA
Natural triglyceride form for optimal absorption and bioavailability
Better bioavailability than fish oil (ethyl ester form)
No quantifiable contamination with heavy metals or environmental toxins
Iodine-free cultivation of microalgae in sustainable aquacultures
Environmentally friendly manufacturing process binds tons of CO2

Conventional omega-3 supplements typically use fish oil as a base. However, many fish species are highly contaminated with heavy metals, microplastics and other toxins, and fish oil is also often described as questionable from an ethical and ecological point of view. We therefore use 100% vegan, purely plant-based omega-3 from natural algae oil. Microalgae are not only an ethical and sustainable source of omega-3 fatty acids, they also contain many other valuable phytochemicals and, unlike fish, have no measurable levels of environmental toxins.

Our most EPA-rich omega-3 oil is obtained from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp., which have one of the highest plant-based contents of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). In contrast to other vegan omega-3 products, this algae does not provide the inactive precursor alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) - as contained in linseed oil, which first has to be converted into the active form – but directly provides the bioactive omega-3 fatty acid DHA. In order to achieve the particularly high content of EPA and DHA in the optimum ratio of 16:9, the sensitive omega-3 fatty acids are gently potentiated to a particularly high content using high-pressure fluid technology.

The microalgae are cultivated in sustainable aquacultures that do not harm the marine ecosystem. Our omega-3 oil therefore has no negative impact on fish stocks or the natural food sources of marine animals. The algae oil also has an excellent environmental footprint, as many tons of carbon dioxide are absorbed from the atmosphere during the production process. Thanks to our optimised production process with the exclusion of oxygen, the sensitive omega-3 fatty acids can be protected in the best possible way.

We use light-protected amber glass instead of plastic for packaging.

Effects

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids are a special category of unsaturated fatty acids. They form an integral part of bodily cell membranes and are a precursor of important tissue hormones. Eicosanoid tissue hormones formed from omega-3 fatty acids influence several important bodily functions including brain and heart functioning.

The biologically active omega-3 fatty acids are docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). The EFSA has so far approved the following statements on the effect:

DHA and EPA

Contribute to the maintenance of normal cardiac function

DHA

Contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function
Contributes to the maintenance of normal vision

TOTOX Value

Omega-3 oils are only as good as they are fresh: omega-3 fatty acids are naturally reactive and prone to oxidation processes, leading to rancidity. Oxidised omega-3 fatty acids produce primary fatty acid peroxides, which further degrade into secondary oxidation products, such as aldehydes (e.g., malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxyhexenal). Assessing oxidative by-products is therefore vital to guarantee the quality of omega-3 supplements.

To gauge omega-3 oil oxidation, three key values are employed: the peroxide value (PV), p-anisidine value and the TOTOX value, the latter of which is calculated from anisidine and peroxide values (TOTOX value = p-anisidine value + (2 * PV)).

The TOTOX value (TOTal OXidation) is an internationally recognised indicator which assesses overall oxidation levels in fats and oils, serving as an important barometer of their freshness. The anisidine value (AV) measures aldehyde formation during fat oxidation, revealing whether the oil was processed and stored correctly. The peroxide value (PV) quantifies the state of oxidation. Higher TOTOX values indicate greater rancidity.

We continuously monitor our omega-3 products for anisidine and peroxide values, not only at the raw material stage but also after the oil has been filled into our capsules and bottles at the final product stage. During production, we take the greatest possible care to ensure that all contact with oxygen is minimised in order to prevent oxidation processes. We prioritise the freshness of our raw materials and proper end-product storage, minimising extended storage times.

Official bodies (IFOS, IKOS, GOED, GMBI) stipulate that the following limits must not be exceeded:

Peroxide value (PV): maximum 5 mEq/kg
Anisidine value (AV): maximum 20
TOTOX value: maximum 26

A TOTOX value exceeding 26 indicates spoilage in the omega-3 oil, rendering it unfit for consumption. Conversely, a TOTOX value below 20 signifies fresh, high-quality oil.

A deterioration in the taste or smell of the algae oil within this timeframe suggests premature oxidation. Possible culprits include contact between the dropper and the mouth/tongue or improper storage: store your omega-3 product away from light in the refrigerator's lower section to significantly slow down oxidation processes in the algae oil, both before and after opening the package.

Our products have values well below the recommended limits. Please refer to our lab test results below.

Dosage

Directions

Take 27 drops with a meal daily.

Daily Requirements

The EFSA recommends a minimum daily intake of 250mg DHA and/or EPA omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and considers a daily intake of up to 5g to be within safe limits.
