OM3 – vegan omega-3 algae oil with 2,200 mg DHA/EPA per daily serving. Plant-based alternative to fish oil with no fishy aftertaste. Contributes to normal heart, brain, and vision function. Sustainable, free from contaminants.
Nutritional supplement with omega-3 fatty acids from algae oil
A balanced diet is essential for wellbeing – but processed foods don't always provide all the nutrients the body needs in optimal amounts. People who eat plant-based or rarely consume fish often cannot meet their recommended intake of omega-3 fatty acids through diet alone. OM3 offers a vegan alternative with high-dose omega-3 fatty acids in optimal bioavailability – with a pleasant taste and the power of natural algae.
Vegan algae oil from Schizochytrium sp.
The microalga Schizochytrium sp. is a plant-based source of the essential omega-3 fatty acids DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). It is cultivated sustainably in controlled, closed systems and requires no light. The algae oil is therefore free from contaminants, heavy metals, and microplastics – and the marine ecosystem is preserved.
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential, as the body cannot produce them on its own. They are building blocks of cell membranes and play a role in numerous metabolic processes. EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function; DHA additionally contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision.
Unlike fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, tuna, or herring – which can be contaminated by overfishing as well as pollutants, heavy metals, and microplastics from seawater – controlled algae oil offers a safe, fish-independent alternative.
The algae oil has a pleasant light lemon note and delivers 2,200 mg of omega-3 fatty acids per daily serving. To protect the sensitive fatty acids from oxidation, high-quality, cold-pressed olive oil rich in polyphenols is used. Combined with the light-protected amber glass bottle, the oil remains stable and of high quality. The low TOTOX value (total oxidation value) of maximum 2 is an indicator of high quality and freshness. A further advantage over animal-based omega-3 sources: no unpleasant fishy aftertaste.
DHA and EPA
Omega-3 fatty acids differ in their chemical structure and effects. DHA is particularly important for the brain and vision – 30 to 40 percent of the fatty acids in nerve cell membranes consist of DHA. EPA plays an important role in heart health. A ratio of 1:2 (DHA:EPA) is often recommended. Individual requirements vary depending on age, diet, general health, pregnancy, or intensity of physical activity. People who do not regularly eat fish, as well as vegetarians, should pay particular attention to sufficient intake.
