Is algae oil just as valuable as fish oil?

Algae oil supplies the same long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, as fish oil. Fish originally take these in themselves via microalgae - so algae oil is the direct plant-based source and comes without any fishy taste.

How much EPA and DHA should I take each day?

The authorised health claim for the normal function of the heart relates to a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA. Stick to the recommended intake on the packaging.

Is the product suitable for vegans?

Yes. The omega-3 comes from cultivated algae oil, not from fish, and contains no animal ingredients.

When is the best time to take omega-3?

With a meal containing some fat, as this helps the fatty acids be absorbed well. The timing (morning or evening) is flexible.

Can I combine omega-3 with vitamin D?

Yes. Omega-3 and the fat-soluble vitamin D complement each other well and can be taken with the same meal containing fat. See our Vitamin D3+K2 Drops.

Description

Product description

Omega 3 vegan supplies the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) from sustainably cultivated algae oil - the direct plant-based source, entirely without fish and without any fishy taste. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart. This applies with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA.

Ingredients & mechanism of action

EPA and DHA are polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids. Fish contain them because they themselves take in microalgae - our algae oil draws directly on this original source. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart. This applies with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA.

Quality & safety

The algae oil comes from cultivation under controlled conditions and is therefore free from the marine contaminants that can accumulate in the food chain of fish. Every batch is tested in independent German laboratories. Produced to GMP standards in Germany, without artificial additives.

Use & combination

Two capsules daily with a meal. Since EPA and DHA are fat-soluble, they are well absorbed together with a meal containing fat - this also applies to combining them with the fat-soluble vitamin D from our Vitamin D3+K2 Drops.
