Vitakruid Vegan Omega 3 1000 Triglycerides 300 DHA 100 EPAAs much as 500 mg of omega 3 per capsule
In science, there is no debate about the fact that omega-3 is enormously important for health. The best-known omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
Min. 100 mg EPA and 300 mg DHA
The Vegan Omega-3 capsules are a natural product, which means that the quantities of DHA and EPA can vary. However, we guarantee a total amount of 500 mg of omega 3, and a minimum of 100 mg of EPA and 300 mg of DHA per capsule.
Natural and most absorbable triglyceride form
In the development of omega-3 supplementation, the active substances EPA and DHA are separated from other fatty acids. There are two ways to do this:
1. In the process where we extract the forms, ethyl esters are formed. These are less well absorbed by the body. For the body to properly absorb this omega-3, it depends on the substance glycerol. However, if this nutrient is not sufficiently present in your body, you will not absorb the omega-3 efficiently.
2. A higher quality process ensures that the substances are returned to their original molecular structure. We call the omega-3 resulting from this process triglycerides. It is the best absorbable form, independent of auxiliary substances for absorption in the body. This is also why our Vegan Omega-3 exclusively contains triglycerides.
One ton of life's TM OMEGA algae oil saves 60 tons (!) of wild-caught fish
The production of most fish oil types requires large quantities of fish, leading to ocean depletion. The demand for a sustainable and traceable source of omega-3 is therefore high. The renowned algae producer DSM® has taken on the ambitious challenge and now produces omega-3 fatty acids from microalgae. This contributes to the global challenge of preserving the natural biodiversity of our oceans.
Production process has minimal CO2 emissions
The production of life's™ OMEGA consists of 4 steps:
1. The process starts with sugar and sea algae. The sugar comes from renewable beers, wheat, and corn. The algae strain is called Schizochytrium sp. DSM® cultivates this in its factory in Nebraska (USA).
2. The algae cells multiply during the fermentation process where they convert sugar into omega-3 fatty acids. These accumulate in oil vesicles.
3. Subsequently, the cell wall of the vesicles breaks down during the downstream process. In this way, the oil is separated from the water, and the end result is a highly concentrated algae oil and a liquid by-product.
4. The by-product is used by DSM® as a protein source or can be converted into biogas for electricity production.
Naturally high EPA concentration for algae oil
What makes this algae oil special is its naturally high EPA concentration. The algae strain (Schizochytrium) that DSM® uses in the process has the advantage of producing both EPA and DHA.
Schizochytrium is a natural algae strain originating from the North Pacific Ocean and is not genetically modified. The end product is therefore an exceptionally pure algae oil with a concentration of more than 50% omega-3 fatty acids.
High dose of vegan vitamin E protects against oxidation
Omega-3 fatty acids are sensitive to oxidation. When the oil oxidizes, the fatty acids become rancid and lose part of their effectiveness. Therefore, we have added as much as 2.1 mg of the antioxidant vitamin E, which protects the omega 3 from oxidation.
Exceptionally low TOTOX oxidation value of <8
Another unique characteristic of our Vegan Omega-3 capsules is the exceptionally low TOTOX oxidation value (<8). The TOTOX value is an indicator of the purity and absence of contaminants in the oil. The lower this value, the cleaner the omega-3. Legally, the TOTOX must be below 26. With a value below 8, our Vegan algae oil performs exceptionally well!
No fishy burps
Thanks to the extremely low TOTOX and the addition of vitamin E, you will also not experience fishy burps when using this algae oil. The belching of fatty acids is related to the degree to which the oil has oxidized.
Softgels prevent algae taste
Our vegan algae oil is available in capsule form. The capsule ensures that you do not have to taste the specific flavor of the algae oil. This is generally not considered very pleasant.
We have Vegan Omega-3 Algae Oil for those who do not find it pleasant or have difficulty swallowing capsules. With this liquid form, you can also dose the oil as you wish.
