Omega 3 | 800 mg EPA from algae. 2 capsules. EPA-dominant instead of DHA-heavy.

DHA is important for brain and vision – that's beyond question. But EPA is the precursor of E-series resolvins and therefore central to inflammation-regulating processes. Most vegan Omega 3 products are DHA-heavy because algae naturally provide more DHA. Our raw material is the first to enable a 2:1 ratio in favor of EPA – and the authorities have approved a daily dose of up to 1,000 mg of EPA for it.

In most cases, the answer here is clear – yes! ALA from plant-based supplements is only partially converted into EPA in the body, and only minimally into DHA. Depending on the source, conversion rates for EPA are usually in the single-digit percentage range, and for DHA often below 1–4%. Therefore, ALA alone often cannot optimally meet the body's EPA/DHA needs for heart, vascular, and brain functions. Anyone who wants to specifically raise their omega-3 index needs a direct EPA/DHA source – like algal oil.

Two capsules. Best taken with a fatty meal. This is your daily dose - no splitting necessary.

Triglyceride are the natural fatty acid structure in foods. Ethyl ester is a cheaper, synthetic form that the body absorbs less effectively. Those who invest in the better form want to avoid a portion of the dose going unused.

Two reasons: Firstly, vitamin E protects the delicate omega-3 fatty acids from oxidation – both in the product and in your body.

Secondly, the dose covers 112% of the daily Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) – saving you from needing a separate standard vitamin E supplement. It does not, however, replace a high-dose individual supplement of 250 to 400 mg.

No. The algal oil is fermented in closed stainless steel tanks. There is no contact with seawater, fish, or krill. The molecular distillation that fish oil manufacturers need to remove contaminants is simply not necessary here.

The omega-3 fatty acids are 100% derived from algae, and the capsule shell is made from tapioca starch gelatin. The product contains an enzyme of animal origin (from egg), and is therefore labeled as plant-based or vegetarian - not strictly vegan.

Omega-3 works via the cell membranes. A noticeable effect in the Omega-3 Index blood test is typically measurable after 8 to 12 weeks of consistent intake. If you want to know for sure, test before starting supplementation and then at regular intervals.

Cool and dry. Not in the sun and not above the heater. A normal kitchen cabinet or desk is sufficient. Refrigeration in the fridge is not necessary.

Yes - and there are clear reasons for that. The raw material is the first with a permissible EPA daily dose of 1,000 mg and is accordingly more expensive than DHA-rich standard algae oils. The triglyceride form costs more to produce than ethyl ester. The D-alpha form of vitamin E is about twice as expensive as the synthetic DL-alpha variant. And production takes place entirely in Europe. Whoever buys the cheaper product usually buys a different formula - not the same one at a lower price.
