Ovega3 Life DHA algae oil 250mg, 60 Soft VegeCaps

Also available in 180-capsule package >>

Ovega3® Life DHA - the first algae oil with the active omega-3 fatty acid DHA
Ovega3® Life DHA contains the active omega-3 substance DHA, docosahexaenoic acid. This active omega-3 substance is 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 2,500mg of omega-3 alpha linolenic acid, only 10%, or 250mg, of the active omega-3 substance, docosahexaenoic acid, remains after our bodies have completed the process.

Ovega3® Life DHA is gelatin-free, vegetarian, quality omega-3
Ovega3® Life DHA is made from the highest quality bioavailable ingredients
Ovega3® Life DHA was designed to help meet the need for active omega-3 fatty acids in adults, teenagers and children over the age of 7.

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® Life DHA Active Omega-3 Algae Oil 250mg DHA Soft VegeCaps from EnergyBalance® lead to the fact that the dietary supplement is particularly well digestible and that there is no unpleasant regurgitation after taking this algae oil.

Ovega3® Life DHA capsule contains

250mg of high-quality, active plant-based DHA omega-3 fatty acid in oil from the schizochytrium sp. microalgae. The capsules are small, soft, gelatin-free and easy to swallow.
This product is also suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

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.

TG fish oil - 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® Life DHA 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® Life DHA 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® Life DHA product. The Ovega3® Life DHA capsules are made from modified potato starch, are gelatin-free and are purely plant-based.

Dosage
Adults, teenagers and children over 7: Take 1 capsule daily with or without food. Do not chew.
