Omega 3 vegan (120 caps)

The vegan alternative – omega-3 from microalgae

Until now, it has been difficult for vegans and vegetarians to consume sufficient amounts of valuable marine omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, which are mainly found in fatty cold-water fish. Now there is a purely plant-based alternative: the marine microalgae Schizochytrium sp. (the food source of these very fish).

As the original source of omega-3 fatty acids, microalgae produce large amounts of DHA and smaller amounts of EPA.

According to research, many Central Europeans consume less than the recommended amount of omega-3 fatty acids in their diet. In addition, people who are physically active above average are recommended to increase their intake of EPA and DHA. According to a statement by the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority), a daily dose of 250 mg of DHA and EPA has a positive effect on heart function, while 250 mg of DHA has a positive effect on vision and brain function. According to an EU expert commission, pregnant women should ensure that they consume at least 200 mg of DHA daily. With such quantities, a vegan alternative is better for the environment and your conscience.

The microalgae used for our omega-3 are not taken from the sea. They are cultivated in special bio-fermenters and are completely sustainable due to the conservation of the environment and resources. The closed system prevents any contact with environmental contamination.

Once the cell walls of the algae have been broken down, the oil they contain is accessible. The algae oil is produced in a virtually oxygen-free processing environment, providing optimum protection against oxidation.

It is also interesting to note that, due to cultivation in a closed system with specific nutrient solutions, the microalgae do not accumulate iodine. If iodine is nevertheless present in small quantities in the microalgae, it is removed during the further production process.
