Vitakruid Vegan omega 3 1000 triglycerides 300 DHA 100 EPA

Vitakruid Vegan omega 3 1000 triglycerides 300 DHA 100 EPA
No less than 500 mg omega 3 per capsule
In science, there is no debate about the fact that omega-3 is extremely important for health. The best-known omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Min. 100 mg EPA and 300 mg DHA
The Vegan Omega-3 capsules are a natural product, which means that the amounts of DHA and EPA may vary. However, we guarantee a total amount of 500 mg omega 3, and a minimum of 100 mg EPA and 300 mg DHA per capsule.

Natural and best absorbable triglyceride form
In the development of omega-3 supplementation, the active substances EPA and DHA are separated from the other fatty acids. There are two ways to do this:

1. In the process where we extract the forms, ethyl esters are formed. These are less well absorbed by the body. To absorb this omega-3 properly, the body relies on the substance glycerol. However, when this nutrient is not sufficiently present in your body, you do not efficiently absorb the omega-3.

2. A higher quality process ensures that the substances are returned to their original molecular structure. We call the omega-3 that comes from this process triglycerides. It is the most absorbable form, independent of auxiliary substances for absorption in the body. This is also the reason why our Vegan Omega-3 contains only triglycerides.

One ton of life’s TM OMEGA algal oil saves 60 tons (!) of wild-caught fish
The production of most fish oil types requires large amounts of fish, leading to the depletion of oceans. The demand for a sustainable and traceable source of omega-3 is therefore high. The renowned algae producer DSM® has taken on the ambitious challenge and now produces omega-3 fatty acids from microalgae. This contributes to the global challenge of maintaining the natural biodiversity of our oceans.

Production process has minimal CO2 emissions
The production of life’s™ OMEGA consists of 4 steps:

1. The process starts with sugar and sea algae. The sugar comes from renewable beers, wheat, and corn. The algae strain is called Schizochytrium sp. DSM® cultivates this in their factory in Nebraska (U.S.).
2. The algae cells multiply during the fermentation process, where they convert sugar into omega-3 fatty acids. These accumulate in oil vesicles.
3. Subsequently, the cell wall of the vesicles breaks down during the downstream process. This way, the oil is separated from the water, resulting in a highly concentrated algae oil and a liquid byproduct.
4. The byproduct is used by DSM® as a protein source or can be converted into biogas for electricity production.

Naturally high EPA concentration for algae oil
What makes this algae oil special is its naturally high EPA concentration. The algae strain (Schizochytrium) used by DSM® has the advantage of producing both EPA and DHA.

Schizochytrium is a natural algae strain from the Northern Pacific Ocean and is not genetically modified. The end product is therefore an exceptionally pure algae oil with a concentration of more than 50% omega-3 fatty acids.

High dosage of vegan vitamin E protects against oxidation
Omega-3 fatty acids are sensitive to oxidation. When the oil oxidizes, the fatty acids become rancid and lose some of their effectiveness. That's why we've added as much as 2.1 mg of the antioxidant vitamin E, which effectively protects the omega-3 from oxidation.

Exceptionally low TOTOX oxidation value of <8
Another unique property of our Vegan Omega-3 capsules is the exceptionally low TOTOX oxidation value (<8). The TOTOX value is a measure of the purity and absence of contaminants in the oil. The lower this value, the cleaner the omega-3. Legally, the TOTOX must be below 26. With a value below 8, our Vegan algae oil performs exceptionally well!

No fishy burps
Due to the extremely low TOTOX and the addition of vitamin E, you also won't experience any fishy burps when using this algae oil. The burping of fatty acids is related to the degree to which the oil is oxidized.

Softgels prevent algae taste
Our vegan algae oil is available in capsule form. The capsule ensures that you don't have to taste the specific flavor of the algae oil, which is generally considered not very pleasant.

Vegan Omega-3 Algal oil is available for those who find it uncomfortable or have difficulty swallowing capsules. With this liquid form, you can also dose the oil to your liking.
