2-pack value set: Omega-3 algae oil + Lutein - 90 softgel capsules + 90 capsules

Omega‑3 Algal Oil

The Omega‑3 Algal Oil capsules from Unimedica contain natural omega‑3 fatty acids from the microalga Schizochytrium. This alga has the highest content of plant‑based EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), making it an excellent alternative source of omega‑3 fatty acids for vegetarian and vegan diets. A positive side‑effect of this plant‑based omega‑3 source is the conservation of overfished seas and the protection of fish stocks.

Why are omega‑3 fatty acids important for us?

Omega‑3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids that the body cannot produce itself. We must therefore obtain them through our diet, yet in our highly processed foods omega‑3 often falls short. For this reason, supplementation with Omega‑3 Algal Oil capsules from Unimedica can be particularly useful for vegans.

What are unsaturated fatty acids good for?

Replacing saturated fatty acids with mono‑ and/or polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels.*

Specifically, eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (EPA²/DHA¹) support heart function and blood pressure.

¹ The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA.
² The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA.

DHA¹ also contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and normal brain function.

¹ The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA.

An additional natural source of omega‑3 fatty acids alongside fish and vegetable oil

The Omega‑3 Algal Oil capsules from Unimedica contain high‑quality algal oil with a high proportion of essential fatty acids in triglyceride form (TG). This means the omega fatty acids are in their natural form, 'packaged' into vegan softgel capsules using DSM's patented life's OMEGA process. Unlike synthetically esterified forms, where omega‑3 fatty acids are chemically bound to alcohols (e.g. ethanol), here the original triglyceride structure is retained.

The softgel capsules made from plant‑based gelatin are produced from tapioca starch and are small and easy to swallow.

Uncompromisingly transparent, pure and environmentally friendly production of life's OMEGA

The high‑quality contents of the Omega‑3 Algal Oil capsules from Unimedica are fermented from natural algae. An algal cell culture is grown in a controlled protected process. Unlike other algal products, these algae are cultivated in water under indoor conditions. They are therefore not exposed to environmental influences, resulting in a naturally pure, potent and effective ingredient for a healthy diet.

This unique production process also leaves a minimal ecological footprint. No additional ponds are required. The algae are cultivated and fermented under controlled indoor conditions.

Because the microalga Schizochytrium contains both EPA and DHA, there are no compromises in the production of the final life's OMEGA product. The manufacturer’s production process is traceable from start to finish.

The Omega‑3 Algal Oil capsules from Unimedica are gluten‑free and lactose‑free.

Free from the following additives

In accordance with legal requirements, the Omega‑3 Algal Oil capsules from Unimedica are free from preservatives and contain no additives such as colourants, stabilisers, anti‑caking agents such as magnesium stearate, are free from genetic engineering and are lactose‑free, gluten‑free and vegan.

Lutein and zeaxanthin from Tagetes – combined with vitamin A and vitamin B2 to maintain normal vision

The eyes are the window through which we see the world. After all, we receive 80% of all information through our eyes. If vision deteriorates, it significantly impairs our quality of life. Not only normal ageing, but also overuse while working at a computer or intensive smartphone use can impair vision in the long term.

In the Lutein capsules from Unimedica, lutein and zeaxanthin from Tagetes are combined with the "eye vitamins" riboflavin (vitamin B2) and retinol (vitamin A), which contribute to the maintenance of normal vision. The precursor of vitamin A, beta‑carotene (provitamin A), also complements this high‑quality nutrient complex.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are secondary plant compounds and belong to the carotenoids. Both substances, which occur particularly in dark leafy vegetables, accumulate in the macula, the yellow spot. This is the area of sharpest vision on the retina of the eye.

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) concentrates in the cornea and lens of the eye. There it contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and normal mucous membranes, which is especially beneficial for the protection of the eye lens.

Beta‑carotene is the main precursor of vitamin A (retinol) and is therefore also called provitamin A.

Vitamin A (retinol) contributes to the maintenance of normal vision. It is particularly important for vision in low light and supports the immune system.

Scope of action*

Vitamin B2

(riboflavin) contributes to:

• normal energy‑yielding metabolism
• normal functioning of the nervous system
• the maintenance of normal mucous membranes
• the maintenance of normal vision
• the protection of cells from oxidative stress
• reduction of tiredness and fatigue

Vitamin A

(retinol) contributes to:

• the maintenance of normal mucous membranes
• the maintenance of normal vision
• normal functioning of the immune system
• and vitamin A has a role in cell specialisation
