Description
One vegan algae oil capsule, like the regular algae oil capsule, contains 250 mg of Omega-3 DHA. It has been scientifically proven that daily intake of this amount of DHA is good for vision (helps maintain sharp vision) and beneficial for brain function. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA. These are legally approved health claims. As much as 20% of the fat in our brains consists of Omega-3 DHA; it is an important building block for brains (as calcium is for bones).
The plant-based vitamin D3 in this algae oil capsule is important for maintaining strong bones and strong teeth. Vitamin D3 contributes to a good resistance and plays a role in maintaining strong muscles.
An increasing number of people get little sun for a good portion of the year to make the vitamin D they need. These are people who spend a lot of time indoors (the elderly, people in offices, children who do a lot of gaming, people wearing covering clothes or people on night shifts). People who do not consume animal products get very little vitamin D through their diet. This is the reason we chose 20 mcg of vitamin D3 per capsule. The Voedingscentrum has made this overview of what different target groups need daily extra vitamin D.
Important information
Omega-3 fats are among our essential nutrients. That means, as with most vitamins, you need to get them through diet. Since many people don't like the real fatty fish (herring, mackerel, sardines), an Omega-3 supplement such as fish oil or algae oil is helpful.
Omega-3 fatty acids are among the nutrients that have been best researched. Thousands of studies have been done on the importance of these good fats for our health. Hence, the European government has also made official health claims that articulate the effect of Omega-3 fats on the body.
Ideally, the capsule should be taken before or after a meal.
Ingredients: Schizochytrium sp. Algal oil, glycerol, modified starch, carrageenan, high oleic acid sunflower oil, vegetable vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), natural rosemary extract, antioxidant (natural tocopherols, ascorbyl palmitate), acidity regulator (disodium phosphate).
Vegetable algae oil is made from cultivated microalgae in a closed system with no environmental influences from outside. Such a fermentation process is similar to how yogurt (using bacteria) and beer (using yeasts) are made in a fermentor The oil is pressed from the algae mass and natural antioxidant is added to protect the sensitive Omega-3 fatty acids. A small amount of sunflower oil serves to keep the amount of Omega-3 DHA constant. Vegetable vitamin D3 is added to the algae oil before the capsules are made using seaweed extract (carrageenan).
The vitamin E-containing natural antioxidant protects sensitive Omega-3 fatty acids.
Plantaardige tocoferolen (o.a. alfatocoferol) is vitamine E en beschermt als antioxidant de gevoelige Omega-3 vetzuren. <1 mg per capsule.
Ascorbylpalmitaat is de vetoplosbare vorm van vitamine C en beschermt (net als rozemarijn extract) als antioxidant ook de gevoelige Omega-3 vetzuren. < 1 mg per capsule.
Schizochytrium sp. is the name of the algae species. We are required by law to list it.
Glycerol is a thickener that forms the capsule shell together with starch (see frequently asked questions) and carrageenan. Together 25% of the whole capsule.
Dinatriumfosfaat is in voeding een standaard zuurteregelaar die in minuscule hoeveelheid (<3 mg) mede zorgt voor stevigheid van de capsule.
The capsule is free of artificial flavors and free of preservatives, colors or sweeteners.

90 capsules for 90 days.
1 capsule contains 250 mg of DHA and 20 mcg (800 IU) of vitamin D.
Yes indeed, already in in liquid (algae) form and soon as capsules.
Yes, people with specific needs may be advised a higher intake by doctor or therapist. However, make sure it does not exceed the daily maximum of 5,000 mg EPA+DHA.
Ideally, the capsule should be taken just before or just after a meal.
If children can swallow a capsule, it is certainly appropriate. Because of the vitamin D, a maximum of 1 per day. . Children between 1 and 3 years old possibly max 1 capsule cut open and stir through food. Or you can use the liquid algae oil for use in yogurt, for example.
Absolute. From as little as 250 mg of DHA (1 capsule) intake by the mother, it contributes to proper eye development and is good for the development of brain function in the fetus and breastfed infants. With multiple capsules per day, do monitor vitamin D levels.
Vegan means no firm animal gelatin as capsule shell. Corn starch used for this, among other things. Modified starch means that it has extra branching and therefore becomes stronger. Together with glycerol and carrageenan (seaweed extract) this makes the shell. So modified has nothing to do with genetically modified (which we would never use). Since linoleic acid is not active, but must first be converted into ARA (arachidonic acid), which does not happen 1:1, the ratio falls even more strongly in favor of Omega-3.
Each algae oil capsule (any brand) contains a very small amount of sunflower oil. This is because the algae make varying amounts of DHA. In order for each capsule to contain at least 250 mg of DHA, it is corrected with sunflower oil. However, the amount of Omega-6 in sunflower oil is minimal: Each capsule, on 466 mg of algae oil (containing 250 mg of Omega-3 DHA), also contains 34 mg of sunflower oil of which 20 mg are Omega-3 linoleic acid. So that's 12 times less than the 250 mg of Omega-3.
