How are we different?

DHA occurs in the body and in supplements primarily as part of triglycerides. The position of the DHA fatty acid within the triglyceride molecule is crucial for how well the body can absorb it. Triglycerides with DHA at the central position (sn-2) offer the highest bioavailability. This is because digestion yields a special form of glycerol, which is exceptionally well absorbed by intestinal cells.

DHA at the sn-2 position is consequently highly available and leads to superior absorption and utilisation compared to conventional DHA. Whilst most active ingredients contain only about 40% of DHA at the sn-2 position, Omega 3 DHA Enhanced provides a full 80% in this highly available form, resulting in significantly higher uptake of these valuable fatty acids.

Our purely plant-based, vegan omega-3 is derived from the microalga Schizochytrium sp. Alongside 50% DHA, the algae oil contains further valuable omega-3 fatty acids in their natural triglyceride form for optimal absorption and bioavailability. The high-quality final product is characterised by exceptional purity (regular testing for environmental toxins and heavy metals) and particularly long shelf life. Such stability is ensured by a small amount (less than 0.64%) of protective natural tocopherols (vitamin E) from a purely plant-based source (sunflower oil).

Conventional omega-3 supplements typically use fish oil as a base. Many fish species, however, exhibit high levels of heavy metals, microplastics, and other toxins; from an ethical and ecological perspective, fish oil is also highly problematic. 100% vegan, purely plant-based omega-3 from natural algae oil is utilised instead. Microalgae represent not only an ethical and sustainable source of omega-3 fatty acids but also contain many other valuable plant compounds and, unlike fish, show no measurable levels of environmental pollutants. Cultivation of the algae occurs in closed fermentation systems that do not affect the sensitive marine ecosystem. Consequently, our omega-3 oil has no negative impact on fish stocks or the natural food sources of marine life.

Unlike other vegan omega-3 products, algae oil does not contain the inactive precursor alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which must first be converted into its active form. Instead, algae oil provides the directly bioactive omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA.

For our capsule shells, we use vegan softgels made from tapioca (cassava root). These softgels are based on pure tapioca starch, extracted from the cassava root using water. The only other ingredient is pure glycerin, which acts as a humectant. Our softgels are produced entirely free from hidden additives such as PEG and carrageenan, colourings or preservatives.

We use environmentally friendly amber glass jars for the packaging of this product.

Effects

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids are a special category of polyunsaturated fatty acids. They form an integral part of bodily cell membranes and are an important precursor of eicosanoids, in turn regulating many important bodily functions, such as brain and heart function.

The EFSA has approved the following statements:

DHA contributes to:

  • normal heart function
  • the maintenance of normal brain function
  • 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

Depending on the product's composition, laboratory analysis of the TOTOX value can be technically challenging, or potentially skewed by ingredients such as lemon oil. In such cases, we rely on measuring and stating the Peroxide value instead.

A TOTOX value greater than 26 indicates that the omega-3 oil is spoiled and should no longer be consumed. A TOTOX value below 20, or a Peroxide value below 5, signifies a fresh, high-quality oil. Ideally, omega-3 products should be stored protected from light at the bottom of the refrigerator. The low temperature significantly slows down the oxidation process of the algae oil. This applies both before opening and especially after the packaging has been opened.

If the taste or smell of the algae oil deteriorates despite proper storage, this indicates premature oxidation. This can be caused, for example, by contact between the dosing pipette and the mouth or tongue, or by improper storage.

Our products exhibit values well below the recommended thresholds.
