Omega 3 fatty acids are vital for good health, but the body can not make them itself, just like it can not make certain vitamins. If we avoid fish in our diets, we must obtain these fatty acids in other ways. Algae and seed oil are suitable sources.

About the algae oil

The microalgae Schizochytrium is a single-celled alga that feeds on organic matter from fallen leaves and other windfalls in coastal areas of the tropics. This algae does not require light and 

produces the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA from the decaying plants it feeds on. The algae oil provides the same health benefits as fish oil, as the EPA and DHA found in fish come from the algae the fish eat.

Algae oil is produced in the EU through a process of fermentation followed by extraction and purification. This process and is 

This patented technology does not involve the use of solvents but an exclusive mix of antioxidants that work synergistically. The resulting oil is stable and retains all its nutritional properties without the taste of fish or fish burps.

Algae oil is non-GMO, gluten-free, nonallergenic and environmentally friendly.

About the Chia oil
The chia plant, called Salvia Hispanica in Latin, belongs to the mint family and originates from southern Mexico and northern Guatemala. Under optimal conditions, it can grow well over a meter high. The plant has violet-white flowers, and its small, oval, grey-brown seeds are high in fatty acids. The oil's omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) content is over 60%. Due to the high fatty acid content, the oil extraction requires no solvents. Therefore, the oil is cold-pressed and filtered to remove impurities.

The body can convert some ALA into the fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Due to the high fatty acid content, the extraction of the oil requires no solvents. The oil is therefore cold-pressed and subsequently filtered to remove impurities.

The body has some capacity to convert ALA into the fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) using enzymes.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has evaluated the evidence behind the omega-3 fatty acids and has acknowledged the following claims:
    • EPA* and DHA* contribute to normal heart function
* Min. 250 mg of EPA / DHA per day 
    • DHA* helps to maintain normal vision
* Min. 250 mg of DHA per day 
    • DHA* contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function
* Min. 250 mg of DHA per day 
    • Intake of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) contributes to normal development of vision in infants up to 12 months of age* (Art. 14)
* The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 100 mg of DHA 
    • Maternal DHA intake contributes to normal development of the brain of the fetus and of breastfed infants ** (Art. 14)
** Info to pregnant and lactating woman: The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 200 mg of DHA in addition to the recommended daily intake of omega-3 fatty acids for adults, i.e.,: 250 mg of DHA and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). 
    • Maternal intake of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) contributes to normal brain development in the fetus and infants that are breastfed *** (Art. 14)
*** Info to pregnant and lactating woman: The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 200 mg of DHA in addition to the recommended daily intake of omega-3 fatty acids for adults, i.e.,: 250 mg of DHA and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). 
    • ALA* contributes to maintaining normal cholesterol levels
* Min. 2 g of ALA daily
