OMEGA-3 | FATTY ACIDS

Omega-3 fatty acids are vital components of cells: ALA contributes to normal cholesterol levels while DHA and EPA support cardiac function; DHA also contributes to normal brain function and vision. The active forms of these fatty acids can only be endogenously created in small quantities. High amounts of omega-3 fatty acids are concentrated in algae, from which fish also benefit as a source of food. Our range consists of exclusively 100% vegan omega-3 oils.

Omega-6 fatty acids are essential unsaturated fatty acids and a natural component of the human lipid layers. Linoleic acid is the best-known form of omega-6 fatty acids and contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. The positive effect can be achieved by a daily intake of 10g of linoleic acid.

Omega-7 fatty acids are unsaturated fatty acids that comprise a natural component of lipid layers in the human body; they also play an important role in metabolism and the mucous membranes. The most well-known form of omega-7 is palmitoleic acid, which can naturally be found in particularly high quantities in sea buckthorn pulp oil.

Phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine, are essential components of biological membranes, particularly cell membranes. Their unique arrangement allows them to create a barrier that keeps cells functionally and structurally intact; it simultaneously ensures the flexibility and fluidity of the membrane and enables the selective transport of molecules.

Plant-based oils and fats consist of approximately 98% mixed triglycerides and are particularly rich in mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids. The most important among them are oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid.
