Ovega3® Algae Drink with DHA algae oil and astaxanthin with lemon flavor, 250ml

Ovega3® Algae Drink is a totally vegan seaweed oil rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) - an important omega-3 fatty acid. It contains astaxanthin, the powerful natural antioxidant with the distinctive orange color. Ovega3® Algae Drink is extracted from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp. and was developed to meet the daily need for active fatty acids in adults, adolescents and children (6 months and older). Thanks to its liquid form, it is particularly easy to take and is especially suitable for children and people with swallowing problems.

The TOTOX value (TOTal OXidation value) can be seen as a "freshness" value. It should not exceed 26 and the lower it is, the fresher the oil. The TOTOX value thus provides an indication of how much the raw material used has oxidized and this in turn says a lot about the quality of an oil, because omega-3 rich products are extremely sensitive to oxidation.

In the case of our algae oil, the TOTOX value is 3.5, which proves a very high freshness. The high quality and freshness of the Ovega3® Algae Drink from EnergyBalance® mean that the dietary supplement is particularly easy to digest and that there is no unpleasant regurgitation after taking this algae oil. Thanks to the essential oil of organic lemon, it has a pleasant lemon flavor and can be used especially well in cold cuisine; for example, mixed into muesli, cottage cheese, juices or as a dressing for salad.

«A» as «astaxanthin» and «antioxidant»
Astaxanthin is also derived from an alga, Haematococcus pluvialis. It is a powerful natural antioxidant, but even a carotene and, therefore, a provitamin A. It is known for its antioxidant effects and orange colouring, which in turn is typical of the shrimps that feed on it and the flamingos that feed on these shrimps.

Omega-3 affects blood fat regulation
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential substances for the body, which cannot produce them and must therefore obtain them through food. Omega-3 fatty acids are formed within the cell membrane and are necessary for its maintenance and the performance of its functions. Omega-3 fatty acids have a positive effect on blood fat regulation.

For expectant mothers
Omega-3 fatty acids influence the brain and visual development of children. Omega-3 derivatives, so-called eicosanoids, influence numerous metabolic activities and functions. A daily support with Ovega-3® Algae Drink is important.

The building blocks of vision and the brain
Sixty per cent of the retina's total fatty acids and 40 per cent of the brain's unsaturated fats are DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids reduce the negative effects of omega-6, which is often present in excessive amounts, especially in those who eat a lavishly carnivorous diet.
An excess of omega-6 nullifies the beneficial effect of omega-3.

Triglycerides
Triglycerides (TG) are the natural form of fat. All fats produced and stored by plant or animal organisms as an energy reserve are in fact in the form of triglycerides (TG).
In many countries, various manufacturers use - for purely economic reasons - triglycerides in an artificial form. This practice is banned in some European countries (including Switzerland), but not in all... In the United States, for example, the use is permitted.

Recommended daily intake 
Once a day with or before a meal:
- Children 6-24 months: 2ml (= 1.8g = 100mg DHA)
- Adults, adolescents and children from 2 years: 1 teaspoon (= 5ml = 4.5g = 250mg DHA).

Content
250ml algae oil omega3 DHA + asaxanthin; lemon flavour (natural flavouring).
