Vitakruid Fish Oil 1400 TG Triglycerides with D3 Extremely high dose (560 mg EPA and 420 mg DHA)
Do you eat oily fish at least twice a week? Research shows that most Dutch people don't even come close to that. This is worrying, because our bodies can't produce the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA on their own. That's why we call these fatty acids essential.
Fish oil 1400 TG with D3 capsules contain a high dose of 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 ingredient!
High omega 3 concentration of >80%
This high concentration of over 80 percent omega-3 fatty acids isn't a given, however. In a natural fish oil concentrate based on triglycerides, 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 the molecular level. Because we strive for a higher omega-3 content, we separate EPA and DHA from the other fatty acids through a careful extraction process. This is the only way we can achieve an impressive 80% omega-3 content per softgel!
Natural and best absorbable triglyceride form
When developing omega-3 supplements, we need to separate the active ingredients 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 during this extraction process are also less absorbable. Our bodies still need glycerol to absorb this omega-3. However, if this nutrient isn't present in sufficient quantities, your body won't absorb the omega-3 efficiently.
During the second (high-quality) process, the substances are returned to their original molecular structure, known as triglycerides. This is the natural form of omega-3 with the highest bioavailability. This means our bodies absorb this form best, without the need for additives. That's why Fish Oil 1400 TG with D3 contains only triglycerides.
25 mcg (1000) IU vitamin D3 in natural form
To complement this high-dose formula, we've added a generous 25 mcg of vitamin D3. Most people who use Fish Oil 1400 TG with D3 no longer need to take a vitamin D supplement.
Moreover, the sun vitamin works well with omega-3. Vitamin D, like vitamin E, is an antioxidant that prevents oil oxidation. When oil oxidizes, it not only becomes rancid but also deteriorates in quality. This often causes fishy burping, where you essentially burp up the oil. This isn't the case with Fish Oil 1400 TG with D3!
Sustainably sourced from non-endangered fish species
The oil in this supplement is extracted from 100% anchovies, a non-endangered fish species. This contrasts with fish like mackerel, cod, and brown trout, which are often used as the basis for fish oil supplements. These species are included on the most recent Red List of Endangered Species and therefore far from sustainable options.
100% Anchovies
Furthermore, anchovies are naturally short-lived, and supplier Golden Omega harvests them in their natural habitat, off the coast of Chile. These are among the most fish-rich waters in the world. Renowned supplier Golden Omega also holds all the important sustainability certifications, including Green-e®, IFOS®, Friend of the Sea®, and Marin Trust®.
GoldenOmega® guarantees an environmentally friendly production process
The omega-3 developer is based in Chile, centralizing both the fishing and the supplement production process. This prevents unnecessary product shipping and therefore additional CO2 emissions. Finally, GoldenOmega® uses only electricity from sustainable energy sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines. The developer also promotes plastic-free coastlines with the Olas Zero Plastico project.
Pure and safe thanks to the certified Orivo® laboratory
In addition to the sustainable extraction of omega-3 oil, the production process for fish oil supplements is also safe, pure, and sustainable. This is done under the supervision of Orivo®, a laboratory specializing in authentic and sustainable seafood. This ensures that our fish oil is completely free of contaminants that sometimes unintentionally end up in food products. These include heavy metals like lead. For 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 a full five times lower.
No fishy burps
This low value guarantees the quality of the oil and also ensures you won't experience fishy burps. The result is a completely transparent liquid, ensuring a visibly pure and safe supplement!
