Algae Oil Vegan Omega-3 with EPA & DHA

Vegan Algae Oil – Plant-Based Omega-3 Source with EPA & DHA for Your Daily Routine

Many people today want to ensure an adequate intake of omega-3 fatty acids – without eating fish or using fish oil. The microalga Schizochytrium is naturally rich in the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart with a daily intake of 250 mg. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA & DHA.

With just 1 algae oil capsule daily (a total of 280 mg EPA + DHA), this intake level is already achieved. DHA is found as a component of membrane lipids, including in the brain and retina. The German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends that adults consume 250 mg EPA and DHA daily – a guideline that can easily be incorporated into a balanced and mindful diet.

With a daily intake of 250 mg DHA, DHA also contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision. This DHA intake level is achieved by taking 2 capsules daily (420 mg DHA).

*The required daily intake is 250 mg EPA + DHA (heart function) or 250 mg DHA (brain function & vision).

Each BioProphyl Algae Oil capsule contains 500 mg algae oil with 70 mg EPA and 210 mg DHA. This means you know exactly how much EPA and DHA you consume per capsule – a practical basis for keeping track of your daily omega-3 intake, completely without fish.

Controlled Cultivation in a Closed System – Omega-3 Without Fishing

The microalgae from which our omega-3 oil is obtained are cultivated by fermentation in closed stainless steel tanks – deliberately without the use of seawater. Cultivation takes place without exposure to light; defined substrates such as sugar and acetic acid serve as sources of energy and carbon. This allows the environment to be precisely controlled and largely prevents contact with external influences.

Algae Oil and Iodine Content – Controlled Environment, Low Iodine Content

Because the algae are grown in a controlled environment using defined nutrient solutions, no seawater is used. Any remaining traces of iodine in the raw material are largely removed during processing. This results in a very low iodine content in the omega-3 oil without affecting the naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids.

To obtain the oil, the cell walls of the algae are broken down. Processing takes place under almost oxygen-free conditions to protect the oil from oxidation. Accompanying substances and odour-causing compounds are then technically removed, and the oil is gently filtered using cold filtration. The result is a high-quality, fish-oil-free omega-3 oil obtained directly from microalgae – without fishing and independently of fish stocks.

Fish-oil-free: Omega-3 directly from microalgae – a plant-based alternative for anyone who wants to supplement EPA and DHA specifically but does not consume fish or prefers to avoid fish oil.

High-Quality Omega-3 Algae Oil from Schizochytrium sp. – Standardised for DHA & EPA

Each algae oil capsule contains 500 mg oil from the algal genus Schizochytrium sp. with 210 mg DHA and 70 mg EPA. Gentle processing methods such as cold filtration help maintain the quality of the product. By standardising the oil, consistent levels of EPA and DHA are ensured – an important consideration if you want to plan your daily omega-3 intake precisely.

Natural antioxidants (e.g. vitamin E) provide additional stability for the oil. The vegan, gastro-resistant soft starch capsule ensures comfortable consumption and is designed to release the oil only in the intestine. This makes it easy to incorporate vegan omega-3 from algae oil into your daily routine – whether in the morning, at lunchtime or in the evening with a meal.
