Ovega3 Algae DHA + EPA, algae oil with 250 mg omega-3

The benefits of vegan omega-3

Bioavailability and efficacy: Omega-3 from algae is obtained directly from the primary source of EPA and DHA, eliminating the diversions via fish. They are therefore extremely effective, immediately available and not of animal origin.

Purity: Omega-3 from algae is produced under controlled conditions, making it free from harmful substances.

Sustainability and ethical choice: Omega-3 from algae is a vegan and environmentally friendly option as it has no negative impact on marine ecosystems (except for our fish oil Ovega-3, which is Friends of The Sea certified).

Ovega3® DHA EPA are vegan capsules containing omega-3 DHA and EPA extracted from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp. DHA and EPA are the most active and valuable forms of fatty acids commonly found in Omega-3. They are practically the active ingredients of omega-3, with high bioavailability and easy absorption by the human body.
Ovega3® DHA EPA has been designed to provide a comprehensive omega-3 supplement and to ensure an optimal daily intake of omega-3.
Each capsule contains 250 mg of active fatty acids in a high-quality vegetable oil: 170 mg DHA and 80 mg EPA.

Omega-3 influences the regulation of blood lipids: Omega-3 fatty acids are essential, which means that our body cannot produce them itself and must obtain them from food. The cell membranes contain omega-3 fatty acids.

For pregnant women: The development of the eyes and brain in children is influenced by omega-3 fatty acids. Many metabolic functions are influenced by eicosanoids.

Basis for brain and eyes: Omega-3 DHA makes up 60 % of the fatty acids in the retina and 40 % of the unsaturated fats in the brain. Omega-3 reduces the harmful effects of arachidonic acids, i.e. omega-6, which are found in a diet with an excess of animal products.

Omega-3 alone is not enough: our ability to absorb omega-3 fatty acids is influenced by omega-6 fatty acids. An excessive amount of omega-6 fatty acids in our diet leads to a delay in the absorption of omega-3 fatty acids. The German and Austrian nutrition reports of 2000 and 2003 respectively emphasised that the population consumes too many omega-6 fatty acids on a daily basis. According to the nutrition reports, the current omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is 8:1, whereas studies recommend a ratio of 5:1. This means that omega-6 consumption should be reduced and omega-3 consumption increased.

Nutritive properties

• DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision (these positive effects occur with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA)
• EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function (these positive effects occur with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA + EPA)
• Replacing saturated fatty acids with monounsaturated and/or polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels
