How are we different?
Our Omega-3 complex provides a 100% natural and purely plant-based combination of all essential Omega-3 fatty acids and a broad spectrum of further valuable fatty acids and phytochemicals. It supplies the active omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, the key precursor alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), and the beneficial omega-6 fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) within a natural blend of premium plant oils from microalgae, flaxseed, chia seeds, moringa, sea buckthorn, borage and MCT coconut oil.
At the heart of the complex lies a high-dose, 100% vegan blend of bioactive omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA from algae. To achieve comparable concentrations, conventional omega-3 supplements usually rely on fish oil as a base; however, many fish species show high levels of heavy metal contamination, and fish oil is also highly questionable from an ethical and ecological perspective.
Our omega-3 is sourced from the algae Schizochytrium sp., which boasts the world’s highest plant-based DHA content. Unlike other vegan omega-3 products, this algae directly provides the bioactive omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA rather than just the precursor ALA, as is the case with flaxseed oil.
Furthermore, the omega-3 fatty acids are present in their highly bioavailable, natural triglyceride form. In contrast, the vast majority of concentrated fish oil products consist of ethyl ester concentrates, which are not absorbed nearly as well by the body. Omega-3 fatty acids as triglycerides show 50% to 300% better absorption than the ethyl ester form.
To ensure standardisation, small quantities of a high-quality, oleic acid–rich sunflower oil are added to the formula. The high oleic acid content in combination with rosemary extract, fat-soluble vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) and mixed tocopherols (vitamin E) reduces susceptibility to oxidation and thus extends the fatty acids' shelf life. The very low oxidation level of the oil (Totox value: 6.8 in the final product) proves the freshness of the algae oil. The corresponding laboratory test can be viewed under "Lab Tests" below.
Both active omega-3 fatty acids are embedded in a rich matrix of the highest-quality plant oils. They provide further omega-3 fatty acids such as the important precursor ALA, but also the beneficial omega-6 fatty acid GLA and numerous other valuable fatty acids. Our omega-3 complex thus provides an exceptionally broad spectrum of fatty acids from 100% natural food sources.

Effects
Effects
Omega-3 fatty acids represent a distinct class of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Serving as integral components of cell membranes and precursors to eicosanoids, they regulate vital physiological processes, including brain and heart function.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) constitute the biologically active forms of Omega-3. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has officially authorised the following scientifically verified health claims regarding their effects:
DHA & EPA
- contribute to the maintenance of normal cardiac function
DHA
- contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function
- contributes to the maintenance of normal vision
Numerous other effects are currently under intensive research.
Dosage
Dosage
Directions
Take 1 softgel (300mg EPA + 200mg DHA) daily with a meal and 200ml of water.
Daily Requirements
The EFSA recommends a daily intake of at least 250mg omega-3 fatty acids in the form of DHA and/or EPA.
Contraindications
Not suitable for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Food Supplement
Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and healthy lifestyle.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep out of reach of young children. Note: Once opened, keep tightly sealed and store in the refrigerator.
Deficiencies
Deficiencies
Almost exclusively found in animal-based foods, directly bioactive Omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA are most concentrated in fish and seafood. While the body can synthesise DHA and EPA from the plant-based, inactive precursor alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), conversion capacity is typically very low and often genetically limited, necessitating significantly larger intakes of ALA. As an essential fatty acid, ALA cannot be produced by the body and must be obtained through the diet; flaxseed oil serves as a high-quality source. Modern lifestyles and diets often lack sufficient levels of DHA, EPA, and the precursor ALA, making deficiency widespread. Individuals following vegan or vegetarian diets, as well as those who avoid fish, are particularly affected.
Beyond inadequate intake, excessive consumption of Omega-6 fatty acids further contributes to the high prevalence of Omega-3 deficiency. Because Omega-6 competes with Omega-3 during metabolic processes, it can actively hinder Omega-3 metabolism. On average, modern diets contain 10–20 times more Omega-6 than Omega-3 fatty acids, whereas an optimal ratio should range between 1:1 and 5:1. For many people, however, the ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 is as high as 15:1.
Omega-3 Requirements
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recommends a daily intake of at least 250mg of the active omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA.

TOTOX Value
TOTOX Value
Freshness represents a paramount quality benchmark for premium Omega-3 oils. Due to their molecular structure, Omega-3 fatty acids are inherently highly reactive and susceptible to oxidation (autoxidation), which can lead to rapid rancidity. During the oxidation of Omega-3 fatty acids, primary fatty acid peroxides are formed, which subsequently degrade into secondary oxidation products such as aldehydes (e.g. malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxyhexenal). Measuring these oxidative by-products is therefore essential to guarantee the quality and integrity of Omega-3 supplements.
Three primary metrics are utilised to assess the oxidation of Omega-3 oils: the peroxide value (PV), the p-anisidine value (p-AV), and the TOTOX value. The latter is calculated using the following formula: TOTOX value = p-anisidine value + (2 × peroxide value).
Recognised internationally, the TOTOX (Total Oxidation) value serves as a comprehensive indicator of fatty acid oxidation, providing a clear overview of an oil's freshness. As a general rule, higher TOTOX values correlate directly with increased rancidity. The anisidine value (AV) measures the formation of aldehydes during the oxidation of fats, offering significant insight into how an oil has been processed and stored. Meanwhile, the peroxide value (PV) measures current oxidation levels.
Our Omega-3 products undergo continuous monitoring for anisidine and peroxide levels. Crucially, this testing applies not only to the raw material, as is common industry practice, but also to the final product after it has been encapsulated or bottled. Extreme care is taken during production to eliminate oxygen exposure wherever possible, thereby preventing oxidative degradation. We place particular emphasis on the freshness of our raw materials and the correct storage of the finished product, ensuring that extended storage times are avoided altogether.
Official industry bodies (IFOS, IKOS, GOED, and GMBI) have established that the following maximum limits must not be exceeded:
- Peroxide value (PV): maximum 5 mEq/kg
- Anisidine value (AV): maximum 20
- TOTOX value: maximum 26
Depending on a product’s specific composition, laboratory analysis of the TOTOX value can prove challenging or may be distorted by ingredients such as lemon oil. In such instances, we rely on the measurement and reporting of the peroxide value.
A TOTOX value exceeding 26 indicates that the Omega-3 oil is spoiled and should no longer be consumed. Values below 20 for TOTOX, or below 5 for the peroxide value, signify a fresh and high-quality oil. For optimal preservation, we recommend storing Omega-3 products in a light-shielded environment at the bottom of the refrigerator. Low temperatures significantly slow the oxidation processes of the algae oil—a principle that applies both before and, crucially, after opening the packaging.
Should the taste or aroma of the algae oil deteriorate within this period, it suggests premature oxidation. Factors such as contact between the dosing pipette and the mouth or tongue, as well as improper storage, can trigger this process. Our products consistently maintain levels significantly below the recommended safety limits.
