Our omega-3 complex delivers a 100% natural and purely plant-based combination of all the most important omega-3 fatty acids as well as a broad spectrum of other fatty acids and phytochemicals. This complex contains the active omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, the main precursors of ALA and omega-6 GLA, as well as a mixture of natural oils derived from algae, linseed, chia, moringa, sea buckthorn, and MCT coconut oil.

The central component of this complex is a high-dose and 100% vegan combination of the bioactive omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, derived from algae. Although utilising fish oil is controversial due to its ecologically and ethically questionable production processes and the ways in which heavy metals can bioaccumulate in fish, many omega-3 formulas on the market are derived from fish oil. Our omega-3 stands out among these products thanks to its plant-based formula, which is derived from natural algae oil. This ethical, sustainable source of omega-3 fatty acids also contains many other beneficial phytochemicals, and is not contaminated by environmental toxins.

Our omega-3 is derived from the micro algae Schizochytrium sp., which has the highest plant-based DHA content available. This algae provides directly bioactive DHA and EPA in an ideal ratio, rather than just offering the inactive ALA precursor, as in the case of linseed oil.

In this product, omega-3 fatty acids come directly in their highly bioavailable and natural triglyceride form. The vast majority of concentrated fish oil products consist of ethyl ester concentrates, which are not well-absorbed by the body, while omega-3 fatty acids as triglycerides have a 50% to 300% better absorption rate.

The freshness of the algae oil is confirmed by the very low degree of oxidation of the oil (TOTOX value: 2 in the raw material, 11.64 in the end product). The laboratory test can be found under the tab below.

The micro algae used for this product is cultivated in sustainable aquacultures that do not interfere with the sea's natural ecosystem, meaning that our omega-3 has no negative impact on fish populations or their natural food sources. Algae oil offers an eco-friendly source of omega-3, as many tonnes of carbon dioxide are bound from the atmosphere during the production process.

The two omega-3 fatty acids are embedded within a rich matrix of high-quality plant-based oils. They provide other omega-3 fatty acids such as the important precursor ALA, but also the healthy omega-6 fatty acid GLA and numerous other valuable fatty acids. Our Omega-3 Complex thus provides an extremely broad spectrum of fatty acids from 100% natural foods.

We use ultra pure, vegan softgel capsules made from tapioca starch (manioc root) as capsule shells. They are custom made and do not contain hidden additives such as PEG and carrageenans. High-quality amber glass jars to protect against light are used for the packaging of this product.

Effects

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

Numerous other effects are currently under intensive research.

TOTOX Value

One of the key indicators of high quality omega-3 oils is their degree of freshness. Due to their structure, omega-3 fatty acids are naturally extremely reactive and susceptible to oxidation processes (autoxidation), which can cause them to quickly deteriorate. When omega-3 fatty acids are oxidised, primarily fatty acid peroxides are formed, which then react or are broken down into secondary oxidation products such as aldehydes (malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxyhexenal). Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly analyse oxidative by-products in order to ensure the quality of omega-3 products.

To measure the oxidation of omega-3 oils, 3 main values are used: peroxide number (POZ), p-anisidine number and the TOTOX value, which is calculated using the anisidine and peroxide numbers (TOTOX value = p-anisidine number + (2x peroxide number)).

The TOTOX value (TOTal OXidation) is an internationally recognised indicator that assesses the total oxidation value (oxidation of the fatty acids) and provides a clear overall picture of the freshness of oils. The lower the TOTOX value, the fresher the oil. The anisidine number (AnZ) is a measure of the aldehyde formation during the oxidation of fats, which reveals a lot about how an oil has been processed and stored. The peroxide number (POZ) measures the current oxidation.

Our omega-3 products are continuously checked for their anisidine and peroxide values. Unlike other products on the market, we analyse not only the raw material, but also the end product after it has been manufactured. During production, we take the greatest possible care to avoid contact with oxygen as much as possible in order to prevent oxidation processes. We pay particular attention to the freshness of our raw materials and the correct storage of the end product. Long storage times are avoided.

According to the official bodies, IFOS, IKOS, GOED and GMBI, the following limits must not be exceeded:
- Peroxide value (PV): max. 5 mEq/kg
- Anisidine value (AV): max. 20
- TOTOX value: max. 26

A TOTOX value of over 26 indicates that the omega-3 oil is spoiled and should not be consumed. A TOTOX value less than 20 is a sign of a fresh and high-quality oil. Ideally, an omega-3 product should be stored away from light, in the bottom of the refrigerator. Low temperatures significantly slow down the oxidation processes of the algae oil. This applies both before and especially after opening the package.

If the taste or smell of the algae oil deteriorates within this period, this indicates premature oxidation of the algae oil. This can be caused by improper storage or the pipette coming into contact with the mouth/tongue.

Our products have values well below the recommended limits. You can find the latest laboratory results under the "Laboratory Tests" tab.
