Omega-3 Plus
Vitamin D3 + K2 + E
Vegan

Omega-3 fatty acids are a special class of polyunsaturated fatty acids that regulate many important bodily functions, such as brain and heart function, as components of cell membranes and precursors of eicosanoids.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are biologically active omega-3 fatty acids.

Health Benefits of DHA and EPA According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)

DHA and EPA contribute to:

• Normal heart function

DHA contributes to:

• Maintenance of normal brain function
• Maintenance of normal vision

Other effects of DHA and EPA are still being researched.

Vitamin D and Vitamin K2

Vitamin D and vitamin K2 are cofactors in the regulation of calcium metabolism. If there is an existing vitamin K2 deficiency while taking vitamin D3, there is a higher risk of over-sized calcium deposits in vessels and organs (risk of calcification, arteriosclerosis, kidney stones, etc.). Sunday Natural vitamin D3 and K2 MK7 combines both nutrients in a ratio to ensure optimal synergy.

Health Benefits of Vitamin D According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)

Vitamin D contributes to:

• Normal absorption/utilisation of calcium and phosphorus
• Normal blood calcium levels
• Maintenance of bones
• Maintenance of normal muscle function
• Maintenance of healthy teeth
• Normal immune system function

Vitamin K

Most organisations do not consider vitamin K1 and K2 separately and, as such, there is not extensive information available on the benefits of vitamin K2 specifically. As such, our statements about vitamin K2 are based on the assumption that K1 and K2 function similarly.

Health Benefits of Vitamin K According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)

Vitamin K contributes to:

• Normal blood clotting
• Maintenance of normal bones

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is, chemically speaking, an entire vitamin group consisting of 8 different compounds. These are divided into 4 tocopherols and 4 tocotrienols that are further categorised as alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. Each vitamin E compound has unique properties and works together with the other forms of vitamin E synergistically. The 4 tocopherols contained in this capsule provide optimal bioavailability and bioactivity.

Health Benefits of Vitamin E According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)

Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and proteins and lipids from oxidative damage.

One of the key indicators of high quality omega-3 oils is their degree of freshness. Due to their structure, omega-3 fatty acids are naturally extremely reactive and susceptible to oxidation processes (autoxidation), which can cause them to quickly deteriorate. When omega-3 fatty acids are oxidised, primarily fatty acid peroxides are formed, which then react or are broken down into secondary oxidation products such as aldehydes (malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxyhexenal). Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly analyse oxidative by-products in order to ensure the quality of omega-3 products.

To measure the oxidation of omega-3 oils, 3 main values are used: peroxide number (POZ), p-anisidine number and the TOTOX value, which is calculated using the anisidine and peroxide numbers (TOTOX value = p-anisidine number + (2x peroxide number)).

The TOTOX value (TOTal OXidation) is an internationally recognised indicator that assesses the total oxidation value (oxidation of the fatty acids) and provides a clear overall picture of the freshness of oils. The lower the TOTOX value, the fresher the oil. The anisidine number (AnZ) is a measure of the aldehyde formation during the oxidation of fats, which reveals a lot about how an oil has been processed and stored. The peroxide number (POZ) measures the current oxidation.

Our omega-3 products are continuously checked for their anisidine and peroxide values. Unlike other products on the market, we analyse not only the raw material, but also the end product after it has been manufactured. During production, we take the greatest possible care to avoid contact with oxygen as much as possible in order to prevent oxidation processes. We pay particular attention to the freshness of our raw materials and the correct storage of the end product. Long storage times are avoided.

According to the official bodies, IFOS, IKOS, GOED and GMBI, the following limits must not be exceeded:

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

A TOTOX value of over 26 indicates that the omega-3 oil is spoiled and should not be consumed. A TOTOX value less than 20 is a sign of a fresh and high-quality oil. Ideally, an omega-3 product should be stored away from light, in the bottom of the refrigerator. Low temperatures significantly slow down the oxidation processes of the algae oil. This applies both before and especially after opening the package.
If the taste or smell of the algae oil deteriorates within this period, this indicates premature oxidation of the algae oil. This can be caused by improper storage or the pipette coming into contact with the mouth/tongue.
Our products have values well below the recommended limits. You can find the latest laboratory results under the "Laboratory Tests" tab.

Vitamin D and Vitamin K 

Together with vitamin K2, vitamin D ensures the normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus into the intestine and is responsible for incorporating them into the bones. If a vitamin K2 deficiency exists, the calcium may be absorbed but not fully utilised by the body. The consumption of vitamin K together with vitamin D is important, especially when taking high doses of vitamin D.

Vitamin K2 exists in two different molecular forms, called trans- and cis-forms, which differ in terms of their structures. It is important to ensure that vitamin K2 is consumed in its all-trans form, as this is the only form that can be utilised by the body.

The purity of our formulas is important to us. This is why we have both our raw ingredients as well as our finished products extensively tested by independent laboratories to confirm purity and active ingredient content. Here, we have provided the results of some of the tests carried out on this product.
