One vegan capsule of algae oil 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 also helps ensure a good resistance and plays a role in maintaining strong muscles. An increasing number of people get little sun for a good part of the year to produce the necessary vitamin D. These are people who spend a lot of time indoors (the elderly, people in offices, children who play a lot of games, 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.

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.
Ingrediënten: Schizochytrium sp. Algenolie, glycerol, gemodificeerd zetmeel, carrageen, hoog oliezuur zonnebloemolie, plantaardige vitamine D3 (cholecalciferol), natuurlijk rozemarijn extract, antioxidant (natuurlijke tocoferolen, ascorbylpalmitaat), zuurteregelaar (dinatriumfosfaat). Plantaardige algenolie wordt gemaakt van gekweekte microalgen in een gesloten systeem zonder milieu invloeden van buitenaf. Zo’n fermentatieproces lijkt op hoe yoghurt (m.b.v. bacteriën) en bier (m.b.v. gisten) in een fermentor wordt gemaakt De olie wordt uit de algenmassa geperst en er wordt natuurlijk antioxidant toegevoegd om de gevoelige Omega-3 vetzuren te beschermen. Een kleine beetje zonnebloemolie dient om de hoeveelheid Omega-3 DHA constant te houden. De plantaardige vitamine D3 wordt aan de algenolie toegevoegd voordat de capsules worden gemaakt met behulp van zeewier extract (carrageen). Het vitamine E houdende natuurlijke antioxidant beschermt de gevoelige Omega-3 vetzuren. 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 de naam van de algensoort. We zijn wettelijk verplicht deze te vermelden. Glycerol is een verdikkingsmiddel die samen met zetmeel (zie veelgestelde vragen) en carrageen het capsuleomhulsel vormt. Tezamen 25% van de hele capsule. Dinatriumfosfaat is in voeding een standaard zuurteregelaar die in minuscule hoeveelheid (<3 mg) mede zorgt voor stevigheid van de capsule. De capsule is vrij van kunstmatige aroma’s en vrij van conserveringsmiddelen, kleur- of zoetstoffen.
Recommended use: 1-2 capsules per day.
For greater requirements, it is safe, for adults, to take up to 6 capsules per day.
Do not take algae oil capsules on an empty stomach, but right before or right after a meal.

90 capsules for 90 days.
1 capsule contains 250 mg of DHA and 20 mcg (800 IU) of vitamin D.
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. Children 3 years and older no more than 4 per day. Children between 1 and 3 years of age possibly cut open max 1 capsule and stir through food. Or you can consider the liquid algae oil for use in yogurt, for example. Soon we will also have vegan gummies which is very convenient for children.
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.
