Vegan Omega 3 - Algae Oil (90 Capsules)

Is your head already spinning from all the complicated terms? Don't worry, we'll explain what Omega 3, EPA, and DHA are in a simple and easy-to-understand way. And then you'll also understand exactly what Omega 3 algae oil capsules actually are. Omega 3 fatty acids are a group of essential fatty acids, meaning fatty acids that the body cannot produce itself and must obtain through food. Omega 3 fatty acids are also polyunsaturated – you probably know these fatty acids as &quot;healthy&quot; or good. <tc>Fat</tc>They are involved in many different processes and functions in the body – therefore, an adequate supply is important.

There are different types of omega-3 fatty acids. The most important forms are:

• Alpha-linolenic acid (also called ALA)
• Eicosapentaenoic acid (also called EPA)
• Docosahexaenoic acid (also called DHA)

While EPA and DHA are used directly in the body, ALA often first has to be converted into EPA or DHA. Although ALA also fulfills important tasks in its own form, the popular effects of omega-3 are primarily related to EPA and DHA.

Other well-known omega fatty acids are: Omega 6 fatty acids such as linoleic acid and arachidonic acid and Omega 9 fatty acids such as oleic acid. The latter can be formed in the body itself; omega 6 fatty acids, like omega 3 fatty acids, are absorbed through the diet.
This brings us back to the topic: Omega 3 fatty acids can be consumed either through your diet or in the form of dietary supplements such as Vetains Omega 3 algae oil capsules. Vegans in particular often have problems getting enough EPA and DHA from their diet. Supplements are therefore very popular and are already part of the daily supplement routine for many!

Which Omega 3 is the best? Which supplement suits you best depends entirely on your preferences. Our algae oil Omega 3 is vegan, sustainable and suitable for many diets. Does this make our supplement the best Omega 3 capsules? Perhaps. Just try it out!

Many people associate omega-3 fatty acids with fish. And while fish is indeed one of the main sources of Omega 3, the fatty acids are also found in other foods.
Where is Omega 3 in everything? Our top 5 Omega 3 foods:

• Fatty sea fish (salmon, herring, mackerel, ...)
• some algae
• Seeds (chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, ...)
• Nuts (walnuts, pecans…)
• vegetable oils (rapeseed oil, linseed oil, ...)

As you can see, vegetarians and vegans can also do many of the following Omega 3 sources Consume. The problem? Most plant-based foods do not contain the omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which are so important to us, but rather a precursor: alpha-linolenic acid, also called ALA.
In the body, this form can then be converted into EPA and DHA. However, the conversion rate is anything but perfect: the conversion only takes place to a small extent. This means that you have to consume significantly more plant sources of ALA in order to have the same amount of EPA and DHA in your body as with direct EPA/DHA sources such as fish.

As a plant-based food, (almost) only algae contains omega 3 fatty acids in the form of DHA and EPA, i.e. exactly the fatty acids that we want.
By the way: Did you know that fish are only so rich in omega 3 fatty acids because they feed on algae? Algae are actually the DIRECT source - the omega 3 fatty acids from fish are basically second hand. And even though we are a big fan of second hand when it comes to clothing, we want to avoid using and abusing animals as “temporary storage” when it comes to food.

Algae and fish are the foods with the highest Omega 3 content. While non-vegans are often recommended to simply eat fish 1-2 times a week to meet their needs, most vegans and vegetarians don't want to eat algae that often - understandable! ;) And meeting your needs purely through sources containing ALA can be very tedious. For this reason, many people turn to supplements such as Omega 3 algae oil capsules.

The Omega 3 algae oil capsules from Vetain are vegan Omega 3 capsules made from algae oil. Omega 3 from algae? Yes!

Omega 3 algae oil capsules are among the most popular supplements and are taken by many groups of people. But what is Omega 3 good for? 
Very important: The popular properties of Omega 3 capsules are actually always based on EPA and DHA - so let's take a look at their effect:

• EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function (at 250 mg EPA + DHA per day).
• DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function (at 250 mg DHA per day).
• DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision (at 250 mg DHA per day).
• The intake of DHA and EPA contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure (at 3 g EPA + DHA per day).
• The intake of DHA and EPA contributes to the maintenance of normal triglyceride levels in the blood (at 2 g EPA + DHA per day).
• Maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal development of the eyes and brain in the fetus and breastfed infant. Important: In addition to the recommended 250 mg DHA + EPA, 200 mg DHA should be consumed daily.

You can see straight away that Omega 3 or EPA and DHA are involved in many processes such as vision, brain and heart function and also things like blood lipid levels.
It is also noticeable that the amount of EPA/DHA is always included. This is important because, as with all nutrients and supplements, the quantity is “the key”. Please adhere to the recommended daily consumption amount and the intake recommendations for our Omega 3 algae oil capsules.

Omega 3 algae oil capsules are a popular supplement

• Vegetarians and vegans

• Anyone who values ​​a balanced diet
• Athletes

• Maybe you too?

Omega 3 algae oil capsules really don't sound tasty - but neither do fish oil capsules! ;) And even if algae oil capsules don't exactly sound like a delicious bedtime treat, they can make a contribution to your Omega 3 intake.
But why should you rely on capsules with algae oil and how are such capsules actually made?
In short, algae oil capsules are a sustainable, resource-saving and vegan alternative. We'll show you:

How are Omega 3 algae oil capsules made?

1. The algae are cultivated, so to speak, grown. Just like your potatoes grow in the field, the algae grows in large tanks or aquaculture. So it's not just any algae being ripped out of the sea.
2. The algae are harvested and the cell walls are broken down - because the cells contain the oil that we want.
3. This oil is extracted from the algae using complex processes.
4. Now the oil is refined. This means that it is practically “cleaned”: accompanying substances are removed, the EPA/DHA content is adjusted and much more.
5. In the final step, the oil is packaged in capsules. These capsules mostly consist of plant-based substances and, like the contents, are vegetarian or vegan.

And how are fish oil capsules made?

1. The fish are caught. This can often result in bycatch.
2. The oil is then extracted from the fish: the fish is either cooked, pressed or treated with steam. By the way, the liver of the fish is very popular for extracting oil.
3. This oil is also refined. This is particularly important because fish oil contains substances such as heavy metals and other pollutants from the sea that you don't necessarily want to absorb through the capsules.
4. Of course, the fish oil is also filled into capsules - many of the capsules are made of gelatin.

Capsules made from algae oil are far more environmentally and animal-friendly, do not contribute to overfishing of the seas, the crude oil is (normally) not contaminated with heavy metals or microplastics and algae are actually the primary source of omega 3 fatty acids. Well, suddenly Omega 3 algae oil capsules don't sound so strange anymore, do they?

How should you best take Omega 3 algae oil capsules from Vetain? And when should you take Omega 3? Our Omega 3 supplement is very easy to take: simply take 2 capsules daily with plenty of water. It is recommended to take it with a fatty meal.
Whether you want to take the capsules morning, afternoon or evening is entirely up to you. Just see how it fits best into your routine.
What is very important: Make sure that you don't forget to take it! A cell phone alarm clock or a reminder note on the kitchen table can help.

How much EPA and DHA per day? Especially when you start supplementing with Omega 3, you will see information on many dietary supplements about how much EPA and DHA is contained in the product.
The DGE (German Society for Nutrition) recommends an intake of at least 250 mg EPA and DHA per day for healthy adults. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also consume 200 mg of DHA. Vetains Omega 3 algae oil capsules contain a total of 300 mg DHA and 150 mg EPA per daily dose. This means that your Omega 3 daily requirement is already covered with just 2 capsules daily. We consciously decided on a high Omega 3 dosage and - since many people also pay attention to the EPA DHA ratio - we focused on maintaining a ratio of 1:2 (EPA:DHA).
So the next time you're wondering how much Omega 3 you should consume per day, you can simply grab Vetains capsules! ;) Of course the capsules are not a replacement for one balanced diet.

Did you know that? Taking Omega 3 tablets or rather capsules is a popular form of supplement, but there are others:

• Liquid oil
• Chewable tablets or gummies
• Powder as part of multivitamin powders

Personally, we think the capsule form is best - not least because you are less likely to notice the unpleasant taste that many people find. The Omega 3 algae oil capsules are easy to swallow and can be used together other supplements Be taken as part of your nutritional routine.
