How are we different?

Conventional omega 3 supplements typically use fish oil as a base. However, many fish species are highly contaminated with heavy metals, microplastics and other toxins, and fish oil is also often described as questionable from an ethical and ecological point of view. We therefore use 100% vegan, purely plant-based omega 3 from natural algae oil. Microalgae are not only an ethical and sustainable source of omega 3 fatty acids, they also contain many other valuable phytochemicals and, unlike fish, have no measurable levels of environmental toxins.

Our most EPA-rich omega 3 oil is obtained from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp., which have one of the highest plant-based contents of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). In contrast to other vegan omega 3 products, this algae does not provide the inactive precursor alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) - as contained in linseed oil, which first has to be converted into the active form - but directly provides the bioactive omega 3 fatty acid DHA. In order to achieve the particularly high content of EPA and DHA in the optimum ratio of 16:9, the sensitive omega 3 fatty acids are gently potentiated to a particularly high content using high-pressure fluid technology.

The microalgae are cultivated in sustainable aquacultures that do not harm the marine ecosystem. Our omega 3 oil therefore has no negative impact on fish stocks or the natural food sources of marine animals. The algae oil also has an excellent environmental footprint, as many tons of carbon dioxide are absorbed from the atmosphere during the production process.

Our airtight and leak-proof Licaps capsules protect the selected oil-based raw materials from oxidation in the best possible way. The capsule shells are filled under nitrogen gassing and hermetically sealed with an additional sealing ring. This ensures optimum freshness and shelf life of the valuable ingredients. Unlike most other HPMC capsule shells, the Licaps capsules made from HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) are 100% free from additives such as carrageenans, gelatine and PEG. They are highly pure, vegan, gluten-free and allergen-free. Thanks to our optimised manufacturing process with the exclusion of oxygen, the sensitive omega-3 fatty acids can be protected in the best possible way.

We use light-protected amber glass instead of plastic for packaging.

Effects

Omega 3 Fatty Acids

Omega 3 fatty acids are a special class of polyunsaturated fatty acids which regulate many important body functions, including brain and heart function, acting as essential components of cell membranes and serving as precursors to eicosanoids.

The bioactive omega 3 fatty acids are docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). To date, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved the following statements:

DHA and 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.

TOTOX Value

Omega 3 oils are only as good as they are fresh: omega 3 fatty acids are naturally reactive and prone to oxidation processes, leading to rancidity. Oxidised omega 3 fatty acids produce primary fatty acid peroxides, which further degrade into secondary oxidation products, such as aldehydes (e.g., malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxyhexenal). Assessing oxidative by-products is therefore vital to guarantee the quality of omega 3 supplements.

To gauge omega-3 oil oxidation, three key values are employed: the peroxide value (PV), p-anisidine value and the TOTOX value, the latter of which is calculated from anisidine and peroxide values (TOTOX value = p-anisidine value + (2 * PV)).

The TOTOX value (TOTal OXidation) is an internationally recognised indicator which assesses overall oxidation levels in fats and oils, serving as an important barometer of their freshness. The anisidine value (AV) measures aldehyde formation during fat oxidation, revealing whether the oil was processed and stored correctly. The peroxide value (PV) quantifies the state of oxidation. Higher TOTOX values indicate greater rancidity.

We continuously monitor our omega-3 products for anisidine and peroxide values, not only at the raw material stage but also after the oil has been filled into our capsules and bottles at the final product stage. During production, we take the greatest possible care to ensure that all contact with oxygen is minimised in order to prevent oxidation processes. We prioritise the freshness of our raw materials and proper end-product storage, minimising extended storage times.

Official bodies (IFOS, IKOS, GOED, GMBI) stipulate that the following limits must not be exceeded:

  • Peroxide value (PV): maximum 5 mEq/kg
  • Anisidine value (AV): maximum 20
  • TOTOX value: maximum 26

A TOTOX value exceeding 26 indicates spoilage in the omega 3 oil, rendering it unfit for consumption. Conversely, a TOTOX value below 20 signifies fresh, high-quality oil.

A deterioration in the taste or smell of the algae oil within this timeframe suggests premature oxidation. Possible culprits include contact between the dropper and the mouth/tongue or improper storage: store your omega 3 product away from light in the refrigerator's lower section to significantly slow down oxidation processes in the algae oil, both before and after opening the package.

Our products have values well below the recommended limits. Please refer to our lab test results below.

Dosage

Directions
