NORSAN Omega-3 (Algae Oil)

2,000 mg omega-3 in a Teespoon

Omega-3 Vegan (100 ml) is a unique combination of high-dose vegetable algae oil and extra virgin olive oil from controlled organic farming (antioxidant).

The algae oil is very rich in DHA and also contains EPA. It is therefore an optimal source of omega-3 for all those who want to exclude all animal products from their diet.

Instructions for use: Take 1 teaspoon with breakfast and 1 teaspoon with dinner.

Recommended daily intake: The daily dose (10 ml / 2 teaspoons) provides 2,000 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids.

More about the product:

Microalgae, with its unique photosynthesis, is the basis of our existence. It has vital nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, which comes indirectly through fish and seafood in our diet. Algae or seaweed oil is such a good alternative to fish consumption. It allows us to go directly to the source.

NORSAN Omega-3 Vegan is a 100% vegetable algea oil. The oil is extracted from the marine micro-algae Schizochytrium sp. It is a microscopic algae that feeds solely on organic and vegetable substances, such as dead leaves. The micro-algae Schizochytrium sp. is particularly rich in the marine omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. Thus, it is perfectly suited for the production of a vegan omega-3 oil. Due to its high omega-3 content, our vegetable algea oil by nature contains a high dose of omega-3. No further chemical treatment is therefore necessary to obtain a higher concentration.

The manufacturing process is sustainable and environmentally friendly. The marine micro-algae we use to produce Omega-3 Vegan do not come from the sea. They are grown in large ponds containing artificial seawater. This saves resources and preserves the food base of the fish. In this way, we do not interfere with the natural ecosystem of the sea, and fish and krill stocks are spared.

Why linseed oil alone is not enough

EPA and DHA are present in marine sources such as fish, algae and krill. Most omega-3 vegetable oils, such as linseed oil and chia oils, do only contain the vegetable omega-3 fatty acid ALA (alpha linolenic acid) and no EPA and DHA.

Among vegetable oils, linseed oil, for example, contains particularly high levels of ALA. Nuts and chia seeds also contain ALA. Is important to know that ALA only to a limited extent can be converted to the important marine omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. The conversion factor is only 0.5-10% and is highly dependent on weight, metabolism and other factors. Scienftific studies are broadly aligned in the conclusion that intake of ALA alone cannot regulate an deficit in EPA and DHA.

Organic olive oil as an antioxidant

The olives are supplied by Rafael, our olive grower, who works according to ecological guidelines. We regularly visit Rafael on his olive grove in Spain.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are particularly “sensitive” and can be easily destroyed. They must therefore be “protected” not only before consumption but also in the body once consumed. This is why our Omega-3 Vegan oil contains 25% of an organic extra virgin olive oil that acts as a natural and powerful antioxidant. Our olive oil has been specially selected for its powerful antioxidant components.For Omega-3 Vegan, as for our other Omega-3 products, we use an organic extra virgin olive oil with a high content of polyphenols, known for their antioxidant properties. It is the polyphenol content of the olive oil that protects the omega-3 fatty acids from oxidation. A unique characteristic of an olive oil rich in polyphenols is that it causes a slight tingling sensation in the throat when you swallow it.
