Magnesium citrate with 123 mg magnesium per capsule

Vitalplant Magnesium Citrate capsules rely on a single compound: magnesium citrate, the magnesium salt of citric acid. Two capsules cover two-thirds of the nutrient reference value.

What makes magnesium citrate special

Citric acid occurs naturally in citrus fruits and is also an intermediate in the body’s energy metabolism. When magnesium is bound to it, an organic compound is formed.

800 mg magnesium citrate per capsule, resulting in 123 mg of elemental magnesium. That is the key figure: it is not the weight of the compound that matters, but the magnesium content within it.

Two capsules instead of four. Because citrate contains a relatively high proportion of magnesium, two capsules a day are enough. For comparison: our magnesium glycinate requires four capsules for a similar amount, and the magnesium complex three. If you prefer fewer capsules, citrate is the best choice.

What magnesium does in the body

Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal energy metabolism. It contributes to the normal function of the nervous system and to normal psychological function.

Magnesium also contributes to normal protein synthesis, to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and plays a role in cell division. All of the above claims are listed in the EU Register of nutrition and health claims.

Magnesium Citrate Capsules: composition and quality

The formula consists of two components: magnesium citrate and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No fillers, no anti-caking agents, no colorants. The product is vegan and gluten-free, filled in amber glass. Each batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

Three magnesium compounds with 100 percent of the nutrient reference value

With magnesium, it is not just the amount that matters, but the compound it comes in. That is why Vitalplant’s Magnesium Complex does not rely on a single form, but combines three organically bound magnesium compounds in one capsule.

Why three magnesium compounds

Organically bound means: the magnesium is linked to a carbon-containing partner, a fruit acid, or an amino acid. Inorganic compounds such as magnesium oxide contain more magnesium per gram, but are considered less well tolerated. Our formula completely leaves them out.

Magnesium citrate. The magnesium salt of citric acid is the most commonly used organic form of magnesium and has been studied accordingly well. In our formula, it is present as tri-magnesium dicitrate.

Magnesium bisglycinate. Here, one magnesium atom is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. This structure is called a chelate. Bisglycinate is considered especially gentle on the stomach.

Magnesium malate. The magnesium salt of malic acid. Malic acid occurs naturally in apples and other fruits.

Anyone who would otherwise have to choose one form gets all three here. That is the difference from our single-ingredient products Magnesium Citrate and Magnesium Glycinate, each of which relies on one compound. The complex also provides the highest amount of magnesium of the three products.

What magnesium does in the body

Magnesium is one of the minerals with the most authorized health claims in the EU register. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function. Magnesium also contributes to normal energy metabolism, electrolyte balance, normal protein synthesis, and the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.

The body cannot produce magnesium itself or store it to any significant extent. Intake is therefore a daily task.

Magnesium Complex capsules: composition and quality

The full formula consists of four components: the three magnesium compounds and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No fillers, no anti-caking agents, no colorants, no sugar. The product is vegan and gluten-free, filled in amber glass. Every batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

Magnesium bisglycinate as a pure chelate

Vitalplant Magnesium Glycinate Capsules contain only magnesium bisglycinate, with no added forms of magnesium. This compound is considered the gentlest on the stomach among the common forms of magnesium.

What a chelate is

In bisglycinate, one magnesium atom is enclosed by two molecules of the amino acid glycine. This ring-shaped bond is called a chelate, derived from the Greek word for crab claw. The magnesium is not present as a free salt, but embedded in an amino acid structure.

500 mg bisglycinate per capsule, which provides 70 mg of elemental magnesium. The magnesium content in bisglycinate is naturally lower than in citrate because the two glycine molecules add weight.

That is why four capsules daily. That is the price of the chelate form. If you want to take fewer capsules, our Magnesium Citrate with two capsules or our Magnesium Complex with three capsules offers an alternative.

What magnesium does in the body

Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal energy metabolism. It contributes to electrolyte balance and to normal psychological function.

Magnesium also contributes to normal protein synthesis, to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and plays a role in cell division. All of the listed claims are included in the EU Register of authorised health claims.

Magnesium Glycinate Capsules: composition and quality

The formula consists of two ingredients: magnesium bisglycinate and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No fillers, no anti-caking agents, no colourings. The product is vegan and gluten-free, filled in amber glass. Each batch is tested by an independent laboratory for heavy metals.

Ashwagandha and passionflower with vitamin B12

Vitalplant Inner Calm Capsules combine two plant extracts with magnesium and vitamin B12. Four ingredients, no other additives.

What’s in one capsule

120 mg ashwagandha as KSM-66®. A trademarked extract from the pure root of Withania somnifera. Leaves and berries are left out, which is more complex because the yield per plant is lower.

100 mg passionflower extract. Passiflora incarnata is a climbing plant from the southeastern United States. The above-ground parts are used.

49.8 mg magnesium oxide, providing 30 mg elemental magnesium. And 1.75 µg vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin, which corresponds to 70 percent of the nutrient reference value.

What vitamin B12 does

Vitamin B12 contributes to normal psychological function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It also contributes to normal energy metabolism and has a role in cell division.

All of the statements listed are included in the EU Register of authorized health claims. There are no authorized claims for ashwagandha and passionflower. For these, we state the amount, origin, and standardization.

Inner Calm Capsules: composition and quality

The formula consists of five components: magnesium oxide, ashwagandha extract, passionflower extract, methylcobalamin, and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No fillers, no anti-caking agents, no colorants. The product is vegan and gluten-free, packed in brown glass. Each batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

Vitamin D3 with K2 and magnesium, in two dosages

Vitalplant Vitamin D3+ capsules are available in 2,000 and 4,000 IU. Both versions contain the same formula; they differ only in the amount of vitamin D and the dosing schedule.

Why two strengths lead to the same result

Vitamin D is fat-soluble and is stored in the body. It therefore does not need to be taken daily, but can be taken at longer intervals.

2,000 IU every other day or 4,000 IU every fourth day both work out to an average of 1,000 IU per day. Which option is more suitable is a matter of personal routine, not quantity.

200 µg vitamin K2 as MK7. Menachinone-7 is the long-chain form of vitamin K2 and corresponds to 260 percent of the nutrient reference value.

600 mg magnesium citrate, providing 90 mg elemental magnesium. Vitamin D3, K2 and magnesium are closely related in nutritional science, which is why they are combined here in one capsule.

What vitamin D, K and magnesium do

Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, normal muscle function, and normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus. It also plays a role in cell division.

Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal blood clotting. Magnesium contributes to normal energy metabolism and the maintenance of normal bones.

All of the stated claims are listed in the EU Register of authorized health claims.

Vitamin D3+ capsules: composition and quality

The formula consists of four ingredients: magnesium citrate, cholecalciferol, menachinone MK7, and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No fillers, no anti-caking agents, no colorants. Bottled in amber glass. Every batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

Three ways to find more calm in everyday life

Calm & Balance brings together three products for winding down after work and finding a quiet moment during the day: an ashwagandha complex, gentle-on-the-stomach magnesium, and an organic herbal tea blend. Save compared with buying them separately.

What’s in the bundle

Inner Calm Capsules. The formula combines the standardized KSM-66® ashwagandha ingredient with passionflower, magnesium, and vitamin B12. Ashwagandha is one of the best-known plants in Ayurveda.

Magnesium Glycinate Capsules. Magnesium in chelated form, bound to the amino acid glycine. This compound is considered especially gentle on the stomach and provides 280 mg of magnesium per daily serving.

Organic Calm Tea. A loose-leaf herbal blend of chamomile, ashwagandha, passionflower, lavender, and valerian, made with organic ingredients and designed as an evening ritual.

What magnesium and B12 do

Magnesium contributes to normal nervous system function, normal psychological function, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin B12 also contributes to normal nervous system function. These claims are listed in the EU Register of authorised health claims.

Ingredients and quality

All three products are unchanged from our regular range, with no unnecessary additives and independently lab-tested for every batch. Details on recommended use and preparation can be found on the product pages.

2,000 mg L-citrulline and 1,600 mg L-arginine per daily dose

Vitalplant Men Capsules rely on two amino acids in a high dosage, supplemented with pine bark extract and two trace elements. The daily dose consists of two capsules twice daily.

The two amino acids

L-citrulline, 2,000 mg. A non-proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it is not incorporated into proteins. It owes its name to watermelon, botanically Citrullus lanatus, from which it was first isolated.

L-arginine, 1,600 mg. A semi-essential amino acid. The body can produce it itself, but under certain conditions not in sufficient amounts. Citrulline and arginine are directly connected in metabolism.

200 mg pine bark extract from the bark of the maritime pine, Pinus pinaster. Plus 3.6 mg zinc and 36 µg selenium.

What zinc and selenium do

Zinc contributes to normal fertility and normal reproduction. Selenium contributes to normal sperm formation.

Both also help protect cells from oxidative stress. All statements listed are included in the EU Register of authorized health claims.

There are no authorized claims for L-citrulline, L-arginine, or pine bark extract. For these, we state the amount and source.

Men's Capsules: composition and quality

Amino acids in this amount cannot be encapsulated without processing aids. The formula therefore contains natural magnesium stearate as a release agent and silicon dioxide as an anti-caking agent. Both are approved additives and are listed in the ingredients. No colorants, no flavors. The product is vegan, filled in amber glass. Each batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

What the nutrients do

Iron helps reduce tiredness and fatigue and supports the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin. Vitamin C increases iron absorption. Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity, while magnesium contributes to normal psychological function. These claims are listed in the EU Register of authorized health claims.

Ingredients and quality

All three products come unchanged from our range: free from unnecessary additives, packaged in amber glass, and independently laboratory-tested batch by batch. Luna Balance and Magnesium Glycinate are vegan; Iron Glycinate contains milk-derived lactoferrin. Details on recommended use and ingredients can be found on the product pages.

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

The basic equipment for your training

Sport Vital bundles three products that form the foundation of many training routines: creatine, vegan protein, and a magnesium complex. Cheaper as a package than ordered individually.

What’s in the package

Creatine powder. Pure creatine monohydrate without additives, the most thoroughly researched form of creatine. Tasteless and easy to stir into water, juice, or a shake.

Organic vegan protein powder. Over 21 g protein per serving from three plant-based sources: pea, rice, and pumpkin seed. Combining different sources improves the amino acid profile compared with a single plant source.

Magnesium complex capsules. Three organically bound magnesium compounds in one capsule: citrate, bisglycinate, and malate, with none of the less well-tolerated inorganic forms.

What the nutrients do

Creatine increases physical performance during speed-strength training in the context of short-term intense physical activity. Proteins contribute to an increase in and maintenance of muscle mass. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, electrolyte balance, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. All statements are taken from the EU Register of authorised health claims.

Five plant extracts with eleven micronutrients

Vitalplant’s Luna Balance capsules combine five standardized plant extracts with a full spectrum of B vitamins, plus zinc and vitamin C. Take one capsule in the morning, and a second in the afternoon if needed.

The five plant extracts

Ashwagandha, 150 mg per capsule. KSM-66, a branded extract from the pure root of Withania somnifera.

Feverfew, 50 mg. Tanacetum parthenium, a daisy family plant with daisy-like flowers, long established in Europe as a garden plant.

Coenzyme Q10, 50 mg. A substance found naturally in the body, present in every cell and added here as an isolated raw material.

Chaste tree, 20 mg, from the fruits of Vitex agnus-castus, a Mediterranean shrub. And saffron, 15 mg from the stigmas of the crocus, the world’s most expensive spice.

What the micronutrients do

Vitamin B6, vitamin C, niacin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, thiamine, biotin, folate and vitamin B12 contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, where authorized for the respective nutrient. Vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 contribute to normal psychological function.

Zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction. One capsule provides 5 mg, which corresponds to 50 percent of the reference intake. Folate has a role in cell division.

There are no authorized claims for the five plant extracts or for coenzyme Q10. For these, we state the amount, origin and standardization.

Luna Balance capsules: composition and quality

Fitting sixteen ingredients into one capsule is a matter of formulation density. Even so, the formula is free from fillers, anti-caking agents and colorants. It uses organically bound mineral forms: magnesium bisglycinate and zinc bisglycinate. The product is vegan and gluten-free, filled in amber glass. Each batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

Shilajit capsules with PrimaVie from the Himalayas

Shilajit is neither a plant extract nor a mineral in the classic sense, but something in between. The Shilajit capsules from Vitalplant contain PrimaVie, a standardized, trademarked raw ingredient.

What Shilajit actually is

Shilajit is a resin-like mass that emerges from rock fissures in the high altitudes of the Himalayas. It formed over very long periods from plant material that was transformed under pressure and through alternating frost and heat. That is why Shilajit is found only at certain elevations and only in small quantities.

What is characteristic is its content of fulvic and humic acids. These are organic acids that also occur in humus-rich soils. They give the raw material its dark color and earthy character.

Why a trademarked raw ingredient. Depending on where it is found, raw Shilajit varies considerably in composition and may contain impurities from the rock. PrimaVie is a purified extract calibrated for consistent values. For a natural substance of this kind, that is the decisive quality difference.

Origin and history of use

In India, Nepal, and Tibet, Shilajit has been known for a very long time and has many names there. The most common one, Shilajit, comes from Sanskrit and is usually translated as conqueror of mountains or rock sweat.

It is still collected by hand today, mostly in the summer months, when the heat causes the mass to seep out of the rock. That explains why Shilajit has never become a mass-market raw material.

Shilajit capsules: composition and quality

The formula consists of two components: the PrimaVie Shilajit extract and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No fillers, no release agents, no colorants. The product is vegan and gluten-free. Especially with a raw material from rock, testing is crucial, which is why every batch is checked for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

26 ingredients with vitamin C, manganese, and copper

The Joint Complex from Vitalplant is the most comprehensive formula in our range: 26 ingredients in two daily capsules, from glucosamine and hyaluronic acid to twelve vitamins and eight minerals.

What’s inside the daily dose

700 mg glucosamine and 460 mg vegan chondroitin alternative. The glucosamine is available as hydrochloride in vegan quality, and the chondroitin alternative is derived from algae extract. Classic chondroitin comes from animal cartilage.

50 mg hyaluronic acid and 50 mg MSM. Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide that occurs naturally in connective tissue. MSM stands for methylsulfonylmethane, an organic sulfur compound.

Twelve vitamins and eight minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin K2, zinc, manganese, copper, selenium, chromium, molybdenum, and iodine. Plus 10 mg quercetin, 10 mg resveratrol, and 2 mg boron.

What the nutrients do

Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for normal cartilage function and for normal bones. Collagen is the structural protein that cartilage and connective tissue are largely made of.

Manganese contributes to normal connective tissue formation, copper to the maintenance of normal connective tissue. Vitamin K and zinc contribute to the maintenance of normal bones.

All claims listed above are included in the EU Register of authorized health claims. For glucosamine, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, and MSM, there are no authorized claims. For these, we state the amount and source.

Joint Complex capsules: composition and quality

Packing 26 ingredients into two capsules is a matter of formula density. The capsule shell is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. Glucosamine, chondroitin alternative, and MSM are vegan, making the product completely plant-based. Bottled in 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 Stern Apotheke.

Contains 500 mg MSM and glucosamine per capsule

Vitalplant MSM & glucosamine capsules contain exactly two raw ingredients in equal parts. No vitamins, no plant extracts, no additives.

The two raw ingredients

Methylsulfonylmethane, 500 mg. MSM is an organic sulfur compound that naturally occurs in small amounts in foods. Chemically, it consists of one sulfur atom with two oxygen groups and two methyl groups. The MSM used here is vegan.

Glucosamine sulfate potassium chloride, 500 mg. Glucosamine is an amino sugar, in other words a sugar molecule with an amino group. It naturally occurs in connective tissue. The sulfate potassium chloride form is a stabilized variant.

Up to four capsules daily. The recommended intake is one capsule twice daily, if needed two capsules twice daily. The daily dose is therefore between 1,000 and 2,000 mg per raw ingredient.

The difference from the joint complex

Our joint complex combines 26 ingredients and provides the nutrients for which approved health claims exist. MSM & glucosamine takes the opposite approach: two raw ingredients, but in a significantly higher amount.

There are no approved health claims for MSM and glucosamine. That is why we describe only what is included and in what amount.

MSM & glucosamine capsules: composition and quality

The formula consists of three components: MSM, glucosamine sulfate potassium chloride, and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No fillers, no anti-caking agents, no colorants. The product is vegan and gluten-free, filled in amber glass. Every batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

200 µg Selenium as selenomethionine

Selenium is a trace element that the body needs only in very small amounts. Vitalplant selenium capsules provide 200 micrograms per capsule, bound as selenomethionine.

Why the binding form matters

Selenomethionine is an organic selenium compound. The selenium in it sits in the position where sulfur would otherwise be in the amino acid methionine. Inorganic alternatives such as sodium selenite are structured differently.

200 micrograms correspond to 363 percent of the nutrient reference value. The amount is given in micrograms, not milligrams — with selenium, required amounts are a thousand times lower than, for example, with magnesium.

400 mg buckwheat germ extract. The plant extract forms the capsule matrix. Despite its name, buckwheat is not a grain, but a knotweed plant and therefore naturally gluten-free.

What selenium does

Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and normal nails. It helps protect cells from oxidative stress and contributes to normal thyroid function.

Selenium also contributes to normal sperm production. All of the claims listed are included in the EU Register of authorized health claims.

Selenium capsules: composition and quality

The formula consists of three ingredients: buckwheat germ extract, selenomethionine, and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No fillers, no anti-caking agents, no colorants. The product is vegan and gluten-free, bottled in amber glass. Every 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 Stern Apotheke.

Three plant extracts with zinc, selenium, and vitamin E

The Prosta Plant capsules from Vitalplant combine three standardized plant extracts with four micronutrients. The extracts provide the amount, the nutrients provide the scientifically substantiated function.

The three plant extracts

Pumpkin seed extract, 350 mg per capsule. A 15:1 extract, meaning fifteen parts of raw material are used for one part of extract. The seeds of Cucurbita pepo, the oil pumpkin, are used.

Saw palmetto extract, 160 mg. A 10:1 extract standardized to 45 percent fatty acids. Serenoa repens is a fan palm from the southeastern USA; the fruits are used.

Nettle root extract, 60 mg. A 20:1 extract from the root of Urtica dioica. Unlike in tea, the leaf is not used here, but the root.

What zinc, selenium, and vitamin E do

Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood as well as to normal fertility and reproduction. One capsule contains 2.5 mg, which corresponds to 25 percent of the nutrient reference value.

Selenium contributes to normal sperm production. One capsule provides 27.5 micrograms and thus 50 percent of the nutrient reference value.

Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative stress. It contains 5.9 mg per capsule, also 50 percent of the nutrient reference value. All claims listed are registered in the EU Register of authorized health claims.

Prosta Plant capsules: composition and quality

In addition to the extracts and micronutrients, the formula contains 20 mg L-lysine, an essential amino acid. The capsule shell is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No fillers, no colorants. The product is vegan and gluten-free, filled in 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 Stern Apotheke.

Twelve nutrients in one daily capsule

Skin, hair, and nails are largely made up of keratin, and the body continually rebuilds them. The Skin Hair Nails capsules from Vitalplant provide twelve nutrients in a single daily capsule.

What’s in the daily capsule

Horsetail extract, 290 mg. The extract is standardized to seven percent silica. Horsetail is one of the oldest still-existing plant genera and stores silica in unusually high concentrations in its cell walls.

Acerola extract, 90 mg. This provides 23 mg of natural vitamin C, which corresponds to 28 percent of the nutrient reference value. The acerola cherry is one of the fruits richest in vitamin C.

Ten vitamins and minerals. Biotin at 720 micrograms, zinc at 5 mg, plus niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin A, E, B1, B2, B6, B12, and folic acid. Ten of these are at 100 percent of the nutrient reference value or above.

What the nutrients do

Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin. Collagen is the structural protein that gives connective tissue its strength.

Niacin, vitamin A, and riboflavin contribute to the maintenance of normal skin. Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative stress. Zinc contributes to normal DNA synthesis and normal protein synthesis.

All of the statements listed are included in the EU Register of authorized health claims.

Skin Hair Nails capsules: composition and quality

Packing twelve nutrients into one capsule is a matter of formulation density. Even so, the formula contains no fillers, flow agents, or colorings. The product is vegan and filled in 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 Stern Pharmacy.

Three classics for immune support

Immun Vital brings together three products from our immune health range: a blend of mushroom and plant extracts, high-dose vitamin C, and vitamin D3 with K2. Save compared with ordering each product individually.

What’s in the bundle

Immun Complex Capsules. The formula combines selected mushroom and plant extracts with vitamin C, zinc, and selenium in one capsule.

Vitamin C 1000 Capsules. 1,000 mg of vitamin C from PureWay-C® per daily dose of two capsules.

Vitamin D3+ Capsules. Vitamin D3 at a dose of 2000 IU, combined with vitamin K2 and magnesium. Since the body produces vitamin D primarily through exposure to sunlight, getting enough is often a concern during the darker months.

What the nutrients do

Vitamins C and D, zinc, and selenium each contribute to the normal function of the immune system. Vitamin C also helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, while zinc helps protect cells from oxidative stress. These claims are listed in the EU Register of authorised health claims.

Ingredients and quality

All three products are unchanged from our regular range: vegan, free from unnecessary additives, bottled in amber glass, and independently lab-tested batch by batch. Find details on the product pages.

Vitalplant was founded by Christian Lazar, a licensed pharmacist with over 35 years of professional experience at Stern Apotheke.

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.
