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.

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

Omega-3s 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 Total 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.*

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.

The NORSAN Vegan Omega-3 Oil has a pleasant taste and one teespoon together with the breakfast can easily be integrated in the daily routine. The intake does not lead to unpleasant reflux and spillage. Fresh (with low oxidation levels) seaweed oil smells good and has a pleasant taste. Omega-3 Vegan is particularly fresh, so it is easy to eat and digest.

Advice for use: Instead of taking the oil “pure”, mix it in a smoothie or add it as topping on your salat or other cold food.

Seaweed oil (oil rich in DHA and EPA from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp.)(74%), olive oil (23%), sunflower oil (2%), rosemary extract, antioxidants (tocopherols, ascorbyl palmitate), cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), natural lemon oil.

It is our unique and careful treatment process that guarantees the exceptional quality and freshness of our seaweed oil. The freshness of the oil is essential to guarantee a pleasant taste and smell. A few drops of natural lemon oil add an extra touch to the pleasant taste. The intake does not lead to unpleasant reflux or burp-ups. With its pleasant taste, Omega-3 Vegan is easily integrated in the daily nutritional habits.

The vitamin D present in Omega-3 Vegan is vegan. It is obtained from lichen. These are biocenoses between fungi and one or more associated elements active in photosynthesis (e.g. green algae, cyanobacteria).
