Vitakruid Fish Oil 1400 TG Triglycerides with D3Extremely highly dosed (560 mg EPA and 420 mg DHA)
Do you eat oily fish at least twice a week? Research shows that most Dutch people fall far short of this. This is concerning, because our body cannot produce the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA itself. That is why we call these fatty acids essential.
Fish Oil 1400 TG with D3 capsules contain a high dose of no less than 560 mg EPA and 420 mg DHA from 1,120 mg omega-3. This amounts to an exceptionally high concentration of more than 80% active substance!
High omega-3 concentration of >80%
This high concentration of more than 80 percent omega-3 fatty acids is not self-evident. In a natural triglyceride-based fish oil concentrate, this ratio is usually only 26-57 percent. This is because the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are bound to other fatty acids at a molecular level. Because we strive for a higher omega-3 content, we separate EPA and DHA from the other fatty acids with a careful extraction process. Only this way can we achieve as much as 80% omega-3 per softgel!
Natural and best absorbable triglyceride form
When developing omega-3 supplements, we must separate the active substances EPA and DHA from the other fatty acids. This can be done in two ways.
The first is the easiest and cheapest, but the so-called ethyl esters formed by this extraction process are also less absorbable. For the absorption of this omega-3, our body still needs glycerol. However, if this nutrient is not present in sufficient quantities in your system, your body will not absorb the omega-3 efficiently.
During the second (high-quality) process, the substances are returned to their original molecular structure, i.e., triglycerides. This is the natural form of omega-3 with the highest bioavailability. This means that our body absorbs this form best, without the need for excipients. That is why Fish Oil 1400 TG with D3 exclusively contains triglycerides.
25 mcg (1000) IU vitamin D3 in natural form
In addition to this highly dosed formula, no less than 25 mcg of vitamin D3 has been added. Most people do not need to take extra vitamin D when using Fish Oil 1400 TG with D3.
Moreover, the sun vitamin works well with omega-3. Vitamin D, like vitamin E, is an antioxidant that prevents the oxidation of oil. When oil oxidizes, it not only becomes rancid, but its quality also deteriorates. This often causes you to suffer from fishy burps, where you essentially belch up the oil. This is therefore not the case with Fish Oil 1400 TG with D3!
Sustainably sourced from non-endangered fish species
The oil in this supplement is derived from 100% anchovies, a non-endangered fish species. This is in contrast to mackerel, cod, and brook trout, among others, which often serve as the basis for fish oil supplements. These species are part of the most recent red list of endangered species and are therefore far from sustainable options.
100% Anchovy
In addition, anchovies naturally have a short lifespan, and the supplier Golden Omega catches them in their natural habitat, namely off the coast of Chile. These are the most fish-rich waters worldwide. Renowned supplier Golden Omega also possesses all important sustainability certificates, including Green-e®, IFOS®, Friend of the Sea®, and Marin Trust®.
GoldenOmega® ensures environmentally friendly production process
The omega-3 developer is located in Chile, so both fishing and the production process into a supplement take place centrally. This avoids unnecessary shipping of products and thus the emission of extra CO₂. Finally, GoldenOmega® only uses electricity from sustainable energy sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines. The developer also promotes plastic-free coasts with the Olas Zero Plastico project.
Pure and safe thanks to certified laboratory Orivo®
In addition to the sustainable extraction of omega-3 oil, the production process into a fish oil supplement is also safe, pure, and sustainable. This takes place under the supervision of Orivo®, a laboratory specialized in authentic and sustainable marine products. This ensures that our fish oil is completely free of contaminants that sometimes unintentionally end up in food. This includes heavy metals such as lead. To give an example: according to European guidelines, fish-based products may contain a maximum of 0.3 mg of lead per kg. Orivo® is also NSF®, SAFE®, and NASC® certified.
ToTox (oxidation value) below 5
Moreover, this fish oil has an exceptionally low ToTox oxidation value of less than 5. The lower the ToTox value, the fresher the oil. The European guideline is 26, so Fish Oil 1400 TG with D3 is as much as five times lower.
No fishy burps
This low value thus guarantees the quality of the oil and also ensures that you do not suffer from fishy burps. The result is a completely transparent liquid. This ensures you a visibly pure and safe supplement!
