Omega 3 from algae oil with 250 mg DHA per capsule

Omega-3 fatty acids usually come from fish. However, fish do not produce them themselves; they absorb them through microalgae. That is why Vitalplant’s Omega 3 Vegan capsules start right at the source.

Algae oil instead of fish oil

Schizochytrium microalgae. These marine microorganisms are cultivated in closed facilities, not harvested from the sea. This means the oil does not rely on catch quotas and is free from the fishy taste that many fish oil capsules fail on.

250 mg DHA and 125 mg EPA per capsule. DHA and EPA are the two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids that matter. Plant-based sources such as linseed or rapeseed oil, by contrast, provide ALA, which the body would first have to convert, and that only happens to a limited extent.

Vitamin D3 as an addition. One capsule contains 2.5 micrograms, which corresponds to 100 International Units and 50 percent of the nutrient reference value. The oil is also protected against oxidation with rosemary extract and tocopherols.

What DHA, EPA and vitamin D do

DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and to the maintenance of normal vision. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA, which corresponds to one capsule.

EPA and DHA together contribute to normal heart function. This effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA and DHA.

Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to the maintenance of normal bones, and to normal muscle function. All claims mentioned are listed in the EU Register of approved health claims.

Omega 3 Vegan capsules: composition and quality

The capsule shell is a vegan alternative to the classic gelatin capsule and consists of modified starch, vegetable glycerin, and carrageenan. The product is vegan and gluten-free, filled into light-protective amber glass. Each batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

Behind Vitalplant is Christian Lazar, a licensed pharmacist with over 35 years of professional experience at the Stern Apotheke.

At the start of the chain is the algae

In the sea, microalgae produce long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. Zooplankton eats the algae, small fish eat the plankton, and large fish eat the small ones. At every level, what comes from below accumulates.

This applies to fatty acids, and it applies just as much to everything else dissolved in the water. The higher up a fish is in this chain and the older it gets, the more collects in its fatty tissue. Anyone who starts directly with the algae skips this buildup.

What Schizochytrium is

Despite the name, Schizochytrium is not an algae in the botanical sense, but a single-celled marine organism from the group of thraustochytrids. In nature, it lives among other places on decaying leaves in mangrove forests.

It is cultivated not in ponds under the sun, but in closed fermenters, where it feeds on sugar. The process is more like a brewery than a sea farm, and that is exactly where the advantages come from: consistent composition, no catch quotas, no input from the open sea.

What the numbers behind omega 3 mean

Fatty acids are described with two numbers: the number of carbon atoms and the number of double bonds. ALA from linseed oil is 18:3, EPA is 20:5, DHA is 22:6. The three in omega 3, in turn, indicates that the first double bond is located at the third carbon atom from the back end of the chain.

The path from ALA to EPA and on to DHA leads through several enzymatic steps in which the chain is lengthened and additional double bonds are inserted. These enzymes share the work with the omega-6 series, which is why both series compete for the same capacity.

Why a fishy smell is a warning sign

Every double bond is a point of attack for oxygen. DHA has six of them, EPA five. That makes these two among the most sensitive fatty acids of all, significantly more sensitive than the olive oil in the kitchen.

The typical fishy smell develops only through this oxidation; fresh algae oil and fish oil hardly smell at all. An omega-3 supplement that smells strongly when opened or gives off a burp after taking it is therefore less a matter of taste than an indication of the oil's condition. Rosemary extract, tocopherols, and ascorbyl palmitate are added specifically for this purpose, and amber glass also keeps out the light.

Our Omega 3 Vegan Capsules are manufactured to the highest quality standards and independently tested for heavy metals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Take 1 to 2 capsules daily, unchewed, with plenty of liquid, with a meal. With omega-3 capsules, the meal is more important than with most other supplements: DHA, EPA, and the included vitamin D3 are all fat-soluble and are absorbed together with the fat from food. A meal that contains some oil, nuts, or cheese is ideal.

For most people, one is enough. Just one capsule provides 250 mg DHA and 125 mg EPA, and thus meets the amounts required for the approved claims. For vitamin D3, it provides 50 percent of the nutrient reference value. Two capsules double both amounts and are especially interesting when fish rarely appears on the menu.

Weil die Alge die ursprüngliche Quelle ist. Fische stellen DHA und EPA nicht selbst her, sie nehmen sie über ihre Nahrung auf, an deren Anfang Mikroalgen stehen. Unser Öl stammt direkt von Schizochytrium-Mikroalgen aus kontrollierter Kultivierung. Damit entfällt der Umweg über die Nahrungskette, und es wird kein Fisch dafür gefangen.

Nein. Das unangenehme Aufstoßen, das viele von Fischölkapseln kennen, kommt von Fischöl selbst und von Abbauprodukten, die entstehen, wenn das Öl nicht mehr frisch ist. Algenöl bringt diesen Geschmack von Haus aus nicht mit. Wer die Kapseln zu einer Mahlzeit statt auf nüchternen Magen nimmt, ist zusätzlich auf der sicheren Seite.

Made from modified starch, vegan glycerin, carrageenan as a gelling agent, and an acidity regulator. That is the key difference from standard omega-3 capsules: their soft shell is almost always made of gelatin, that is, animal connective tissue. There isn't a single gram of it in here.

Per capsule: 800 mg algae oil, including 250 mg DHA and 125 mg EPA. These amounts are why one capsule is enough: DHA helps maintain normal brain function and normal vision; the beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA. EPA and DHA help maintain normal heart function; here, the beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA and DHA.

Because it makes sense functionally: vitamin D is fat-soluble and needs an oil as a carrier, which is already present here. Each capsule contains 2.5 µg, which is 100 international units and 50 percent of the nutrient reference value. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the maintenance of normal bones, and the maintenance of normal muscle function.

The bottle contains 90 capsules, which is 45 to 90 days depending on the dosage. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which is why it comes in amber glass. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are sensitive to light, heat, and oxygen. For the same reason, the oil preparation contains rosemary extract, mixed tocopherols, and ascorbyl palmitate as antioxidants: they keep the oil fresh.
