Ovega3® algae oil DHA & EPA 250 mg + 3 vitamins B12, D3, K2, 180 VegeCaps

Ovega3® Vitamine: The world’s first vegan soft capsules with plant based omega-3 DHA+EPA - from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp. - combined with the 3 vitamins B12, D3 and K2 in the active form (MK-7)
This supplement is the result of combining the best possible ingredients. Formulated to take up to 12 capsules per day.
Ovega3® contains the active omega-3 substances DHA and EPA. These active omega-3 substances are important for our bodies and cannot be compared to other omega-3 fatty acids, which come in the form of ALA, alpha linolenic acid. ALA, alpha linolenic acid, is not an active substance and first needs to be turned into the active omega-3 substances, DHA, EPA, DPA or OTA, by our bodies in a complex process. 90% of the substance is lost when our body turns ALA into DHA. That means that out of 2,000mg of omega-3 alpha linolenic acid, only 10%, or 200mg, of the active omega-3 substance, docosahexaenoic acid, remains after our bodies have completed the process.

Ovega3® Vitamine was designed to help meet the need for active omega-3 fatty acids.
The capsules are small, soft, gelatin-free and easy to swallow.
Ovega3® Vitamine is made from the highest quality bioavailable ingredients.
This product is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

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 Ovega3® Vitamins DHA EPA Soft VegeCaps from EnergyBalance® mean that the dietary supplement is particularly easy to digest and that there is no unpleasant regurgitation after taking this algae oil.

Every Ovega3® Vitamine capsule contains
250mg of high-quality, active plant-based omega-3 fatty acid, 202mg DHA and 48mg EPA in oil from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp
DPA = 6.25mg;
Vitamin B12 = 0.75μg;
Vitamin D3 = 1.67μg;
Vitamin K2 (as MK-7) = 8.33 μg.

Omega-3 effects blood lipid regulation
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential. Our bodies cannot produce them and depend on our diet for these important substances. Omega-3 fatty acids are incorporated into the cell membrane and are crucial for their production and function. Omega-3 fatty acids positively affect blood lipid regulation.

For expectant mothers
Omega-3 fatty acids affect brain and eye development in infants. The omega-3 byproducts, eicosanoids, influence numerous metabolic processes and functions.

Building block for eyes and brain
60% of all fatty acids in the eye's retina and 40% or most unsaturated brain lipids are made up of the omega-3 fatty acid, DHA. Omega-3 reduces the negative effects of arachidonic acid, which is an omega-6 fatty acid and too much of which is consumed when we eat food products of animal origin.

Not enough omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-6 fatty acids affect our ability to absorb omega-3 fatty acids. Too many omega-6 fatty acids in our diet slows the absorption of omega-3 fatty acids. The 2000 German Nutrition Report and the 2003 Austrian Nutrition Report found that the population consumes too much omega-6 in their daily diet. According to the nutrition reports, the current relationship between omega-6 and omega-3 is 8 : 1. According to scientific findings, however, it should be 5 : 1. That means we need to reduce our consumption of omega-6 fatty acids like linoleic acid, gamma-linolenic acid and arachidonic acid and/or increase our consumption of omega-3.

Natural triglycerides (TG)
also referred to as triacylglycerol, are the natural forms of fat. All fats produced or stored by living plants or animals as energy reserves take the form of TG. TG is a compound of 3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol. In addition to TG, omega-3 capsules are also sold in different countries in the form of ethyl ester (EE). EE is an "artificial form," which means it does not exist in nature in that form and is more affordable than TG. Only natural TG oils are allowed in omega-3 products in Switzerland, Germany and France. Artificial EE is allowed in omega-3 products in countries such as the US. The DHA algae oil used in Ovega3® is a natural TG product.

Small, gelatin-free, plant-based capsules
Many people have difficulty swallowing large capsules. That's why we made the Ovega3® capsules small. Capsules are often made from gelatin. Gelatin is an odorless, colorless, gel-like substance produced by cooking down connective tissue (skin, bones, sinew), which releases the protein mixture that makes up gelatin. Because of the BSE scare, many consumers are reluctant to consume products made from animal bones - like gelatin. That's why EnergyBalance™ decided to use a plant-based capsule in its Ovega3® product. The Ovega3® capsules are made from modified potato starch, are gelatin-free and are purely plant-based.

Vitamin B12
Methylcobalamin is the most common form of vitamin B12, occuring in the central nervous system (brain) and blood. It is found primarily in the cellular plasma. Methylcobalamin promotes the conversion of homocysteine (a waste product of our metabolism) to methionine. Methylcobalamin is also precursor to the coenzyme S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). SAM is involved in the formation of important neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and acetylcholine. This explains why vitamin B12 contributes to normal brain function. In addition, methylcobalamin reactivates inactive folic acid into folate - its metabolically active form.

Dosage
