Our omega-3 complex provides a 100% natural and purely plant-based combination of all essential omega-3 fatty acids and a broad spectrum of further valuable fatty acids and phytochemicals. It supplies the active omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, the key precursor alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), and the beneficial omega-6 fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) within a natural blend of premium plant oils from microalgae, flaxseed, chia seeds, moringa, sea buckthorn, borage and MCT coconut oil.
At the heart of the complex lies a high-dose, 100% vegan blend of bioactive omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA from algae. To achieve comparable concentrations, conventional omega-3 supplements usually rely on fish oil as a base; however, many fish species show high levels of heavy metal contamination.
We therefore use 100% vegan omega-3 derived from natural algae oil. These algae are cultivated in closed fermentation systems that do not disrupt the sensitive marine ecosystem, ensuring no negative impact on fish stocks or natural food sources. Microalgae are not only an ethical and sustainable source of omega-3 fatty acids, they also contain many other valuable phytonutrients and show no measurable contamination with environmental toxins.
Our omega-3 is sourced from the algae Schizochytrium sp., which boasts the world’s highest plant-based DHA content. Unlike other vegan omega-3 products, this algae directly provides the bioactive omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA rather than just the precursor ALA, as is the case with flaxseed oil. Furthermore, the omega-3 fatty acids are present in their highly bioavailable, natural triglyceride form. In contrast, the vast majority of concentrated fish oil products consist of ethyl ester concentrates, which are not absorbed nearly as well by the body. Omega-3 fatty acids as triglycerides show 50–300% better absorption than the ethyl ester form.
To ensure standardisation, small quantities of a high-quality, oleic acid–rich sunflower oil are added to the formula. The high oleic acid content in combination with rosemary extract, fat-soluble vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) and mixed tocopherols (vitamin E) reduces susceptibility to oxidation and thus extends the fatty acids' shelf life. The very low oxidation level of the oil (Totox value: 2 in the raw material, 11.64 in the final product) proves the freshness of the algae oil. The corresponding laboratory test can be viewed under "Lab Tests" below.
Both active omega-3 fatty acids are embedded in a rich matrix of the highest-quality plant oils. They provide further omega-3 fatty acids such as the important precursor ALA, but also the beneficial omega-6 fatty acid GLA and numerous other valuable fatty acids. Our omega-3 complex thus provides an exceptionally broad spectrum of fatty acids from 100% natural food sources.
For our capsule shells, we use unique vegan softgels made from tapioca starch (cassava root), which are produced exclusively for us without hidden additives such as PEG and carrageenan. We package this product in amber glass jars instead of plastic to protect the ingredients from light.
This product has been tested free from selected doping substances within the scope of the Cologne List®. The Cologne List® is a doping prevention initiative which publishes products which have been independently tested for selected doping substances by a world-class laboratory in food supplement analysis. As a partner of the Cologne List®, we ensure greater transparency in a very heterogeneous market and support athletes, teams, clubs and associations in the assessment of these products.
