The algae oil for our Omega-3 oil is obtained from the microalga Schizochytrium sp. This patented, branded raw material has one of the world's highest natural DHA contents. Besides 60% DHA, the natural algae oil contains other omega-3 fatty acids, including approximately 2.5% EPA. The special production process requires no chemical methods for concentrating the valuable compounds. Furthermore, the valuable maritime omega-3 fatty acids are predominantly in their natural triglyceride form for optimal absorption and bioavailability. The high-quality final product is characterised by its excellent purity (regularly tested for environmental toxins and heavy metals) and a particularly long shelf life.

Despite the heavy metals, microplastics and other toxins commonly found in many species of fish, conventional omega-3 supplements are usually based on fish oil. To avoid the risks of contamination, as well as to align with our ethical and sustainable principles, our omega-3 is obtained from natural, 100% vegan, completely plant-based algae oil. Microalgae are not only an ethical and sustainable source of omega-3 fatty acids: they also contain many other valuable phytonutrients and, unlike fish, have no measurable levels of environmental toxins. The algae is cultivated in sustainable aquacultures, preserving marine ecosystems and fish stocks. The production process efficiently captures carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, contributing to an excellent eco-balance.

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 the capsule shells, we use our unique, vegan and pure softgels made from tapioca starch (cassava root), which are custom-made for us without hidden additives such as gelatine, PEG or carrageenans. 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 unsaturated fatty acids. They form an integral part of bodily cell membranes and are a precursor of important tissue hormones. Eicosanoid tissue hormones formed from omega-3 fatty acids influence several important bodily functions including brain and heart functioning.

The biologically active omega-3 fatty acids are docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). The EFSA has so far approved the following statements on the effect:

DHA & EPA

Contribute to 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. Our products have values well below the recommended limits.

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.
