Vitakruid Fish Oil 1200 Liquid Triglycerides with A, D & EExtremely high dosage (610 mg EPA and 407 mg DHA)
Consuming fatty fish is not high on the priority list in our little country. Research also shows that most Dutch people do not get the recommended amount of omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which we mainly find in fatty fish. A cause for concern, as our body cannot produce essential fatty acids itself.
Our Fish Oil 1200 TG Liquid contains an extremely high dosage of no less than 610 mg EPA and 407 mg DHA from 1,200 mg omega 3.
High omega 3 concentration of >70%
A high concentration of over 70 percent omega 3 fatty acids is not self-evident in liquid form. In an average fish oil concentrate based on triglycerides, we often see ratios of 26-57%. The reason for this is that EPA and DHA are molecularly bound to other fatty acids. We strive for the highest possible omega 3 content. We achieve this by separating EPA and DHA from the other fatty acids through a careful extraction process.
Natural and best absorbable triglyceride form
When we develop omega 3 supplements, we separate the active substances EPA and DHA from the other fatty acids. This is done in two ways:
The first extraction process is the easiest and cheapest, but this process forms so-called ethyl esters that our body absorbs less effectively. When we absorb omega 3, we need enough of the substance glycerol. This is not always the case, which is why omega 3 is not efficiently absorbed.
In the second, high-quality process, the substances are returned to their original molecular structure. We call this triglycerides, and this is the natural form of omega 3 with the highest biological availability. In fact, our body absorbs this best without the aid of various additives. For this reason, Fish Oil 1200 TG Liquid contains only triglycerides.
Sustainably sourced from a non-threatened fish species
Our fish oil is derived from 100% anchovies. This is a non-threatened fish species, unlike, for example, mackerel, cod, and brook trout, which are often the basis for fish oil supplements. Anchovies naturally have a short lifespan. Our renowned supplier Golden Omega® catches them off the coast of Chile. These waters are known worldwide for their fish richness. An additional advantage is that Golden Omega® holds leading sustainability certifications, such as Friend of the Sea®, Green-e®, IFOS®, and Marin Trust®.
Golden Omega® guarantees an environmentally friendly production process
Both the fish catch and the production process of the supplement take place centrally as our omega 3 developer is based in Chile. This prevents unnecessary shipping of products with extra CO2 emissions. Additionally, Golden Omega® uses sustainable energy sources (solar panels and wind turbines).
Fat-soluble vitamins: A, D, and E
Vitamins A, D, and E fall under the fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamin E has, just like in our other omega 3 products, an antioxidant effect and thus protects the oil from oxidation. Getting enough vitamin D can sometimes be a challenge but is very important for our body.
These vitamins are also found in cod liver oil, but many people make a face at the smell and taste. This makes Fish Oil 1200 TG Liquid a complete product with a pleasant taste and additional vitamins.
Safe glass packaging
The oil is packaged in a glass bottle and is therefore BPA-free. In addition to vitamin E protecting the oil from oxidation, this packaging optimally protects the oil from external influences.
Pure and safe thanks to certified laboratory Orivo®
Now, the extraction of omega 3 oil is already sustainable, but the production process from catch to oil is also sustainable, safe, and pure. Orivo® is a laboratory specialized in authentic and sustainable sea products. Under their supervision, they ensure that our fish oil is completely free from contaminants. Sometimes these unintentionally end up in food (think of heavy metals like lead).
To give you an idea: the European guideline states that fish products may contain a maximum of 0.3 mg of lead per kg. The amount in our fish oil supplement is shown to be less than 0.008 mg according to the Certificate of analysis. That is almost forty (!) times lower. Additionally, Orivo® is certified with NSF®, SAFE®, and NASC®.
ToTox (oxidation value) below 5
Another important point is that our liquid fish oil has an exceptionally low ToTox oxidation value (lower than 5). The lower this value, the fresher the oil is. According to European guidelines, the ToTox value is set at 26, which means that Fish Oil 1200 TG Liquid is well below this.
No fishy burps
An additional benefit of the low ToTox value is that it guarantees the quality of the oil and prevents unpleasant fishy burps. This results in a completely transparent liquid, ensuring you have a pure and safe omega 3 supplement.
With a soft, natural lemon flavor
Liquid fish oil or cod liver oil often has a strong taste and smell. After many hours of research and the critical judgment of the taste panel, a product has been developed that Vitakruid is also proud of in terms of taste. The soft, natural lemon flavor masks the fish taste and makes the fish oil easy to take. Even the children in the test panel were enthusiastic about the final result!
For the whole family
Fish Oil 1200 TG Liquid is a high-dose omega 3 supplement suitable for the whole family. It is also a safe choice during pregnancy, and babies from 6 months can already receive half a dose (half a teaspoon).
