Omega-3 algae oil capsules - vegan - 90 capsules

The Omega-3 algae 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) and is therefore an excellent alternative source of omega-3 fatty acids for vegetarian and vegan diets. A positive side effect of the 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 therefore need to obtain them from our diet, yet in our highly processed foods omega-3 is often lacking. For this reason, supplementation with Omega-3 algae oil capsules from Unimedica can be particularly useful for vegans.

What are unsaturated fatty acids good for?

Replacing saturated fatty acids with monounsaturated 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) contribute to the maintenance of normal heart function.

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

DHA¹ also contributes to normal vision and brain function.

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

An additional natural source of omega-3 fatty acids besides fish and vegetable oil

The Omega-3 algae oil capsules from Unimedica contain high-quality algae 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, in which the omega-3 fatty acids are chemically bound to alcohol (e.g. ethanol), the original triglyceride structure is retained here.

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 manufacture of life's OMEGA

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

This unique manufacturing process also leaves a minimal ecological footprint, as no specially created ponds are required. The algae are grown 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 product life's OMEGA. The manufacturer’s production process is traceable from start to finish.

The Omega-3 algae oil capsules from Unimedica are gluten-free and lactose-free.

Free from the following additives

In line with legal requirements, Omega-3 algae oil capsules from Unimedica are free from preservatives and contain no added colourings, stabilisers, anti-caking agents such as magnesium stearate, are non-GMO, and are lactose-free, gluten-free and vegan.
