Omega 3 vegan (120 caps)

The vegan alternative - omega 3 from microalgae Until now, it has been difficult for vegans and vegetarians to consume enough valuable marine omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, which are mainly found in oily cold-water fish. There is now a purely plant-based alternative, the marine microalgae Schizochytrium sp. (the basic food of these fish). The microalgae as the original source of omega-3 fatty acids form large amounts of DHA and EPA. The body needs DHA for the formation of nerve tissue, among other things. And DHA is also useful for maintaining various metabolic functions. As a fatty acid component of the phospholipids, DHA is primarily required by the membranes and nerve cells, since these cannot do without fatty acids. At 97%, DHA is the most common fat in the brain. A similarly high proportion of DHA, 93%, can only be found in the omega-3 fatty acids of the retina in the human eye. Studies have shown that many Central Europeans take in less than the recommended amount of omega-3 fatty acids through food on average. In addition, an increased intake of EPA and DHA is recommended for people who are physically active above average. According to a statement by the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority), a daily dose of 250 mg DHA and EPA has a positive effect on heart function, and 250 mg DHA on vision and brain function. According to an EU expert commission, pregnant women should ensure that their bodies are supplied with at least 200 mg of DHA every day. With such quantities, a vegan alternative protects the environment and conscience. The microalgae used for our Omega 3 are not taken from the sea. The breeding takes place in special organic fermenters and is absolutely sustainable due to the protection of the environment and resources. The closed system means there is no contact with environmental contamination. After the cell walls of the algae have been broken open, the oil contained is accessible. The algae oil is produced in a virtually oxygen-free processing environment, so that it is optimally protected against oxidation. It is also interesting that due to the cultivation in a closed system with specific nutrient solutions, the microalgae do not accumulate iodine. If small amounts of iodine are still contained in the microalgae, this is further removed in the further production process.
