Sinoplasan Omega-3 Algae Oil Capsules with DHA & EPA, 60 ST

Sinoplasan Omega-3 Algae Oil Capsules with DHA & EPA are a high-potency dietary supplement containing 576 mg of DHA and 288 mg of EPA per daily dose. Free from microplastics and heavy metals, they offer a pure, plant-based alternative to fish oil.

If you do not eat fish 1–2 times a week, you are most likely not getting enough omega-3 fatty acids! Around 70 per cent of the German population has omega-3 levels that are too low.

The human body cannot produce omega-3 fatty acids itself and must therefore obtain sufficient amounts through diet or dietary supplements. The omega-3 fatty acids DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) are particularly important, as they support and maintain a wide range of functions in the human body. 

The EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) issues the following intake recommendations for DHA- and EPA-rich algal oil derived from the microalga Schizochytrium sp.:

For adults:

• DHA and EPA contribute to normal heart function (250 mg of DHA and EPA per day).
• DHA and EPA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood pressure (3 g of DHA and EPA per day).
• DHA and EPA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels (2 g of DHA and EPA per day).
• DHA helps maintain normal blood triglyceride levels (2 g of DHA per day in combination with EPA).
• DHA helps maintain normal brain function (250 mg of DHA per day). DHA helps maintain normal vision (250 mg of DHA per day).

For breastfeeding women and pregnant women:

• Maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal development of the brain of the foetus and the breastfed infant (200 mg DHA plus the recommended daily intake of omega-3 fatty acids, i.e. 250 mg DHA+EPA per day for adults), that is, a total of 450 mg of DHA and 250 mg of EPA per day. 
• The mother’s intake of DHA contributes to the normal development of the eyes of the foetus and the breastfed infant (200 mg DHA plus the recommended daily intake of omega-3 fatty acids, i.e. 250 mg DHA+EPA per day for adults), which amounts to a total of 450 mg of DHA and 250 mg of EPA per day.

Depending on the intended use of the algae oil, the recommended daily intake can be adjusted accordingly. For comparison: we generally recommend 2 capsules per day. These contain: 576 mg of DHA and 288 mg of EPA. Pregnant and breastfeeding women can reduce the dosage to 1 capsule per day, which corresponds to 288 mg of DHA and 144 mg of EPA per day.

Most people associate omega-3 with fish products or other seafood, as these are said to be particularly rich in omega-3 fatty acids. However, very few people realise that fish do not produce omega-3 themselves, but obtain it from plant sources, such as algae. The original source of omega-3 is therefore the algae itself, not the fish. In particular, the microalgae Schizochytrium sp. that we use contains exceptionally high levels of these high-quality DHA and EPA fatty acids. This microscopically small, single-celled marine algae, Schizochytrium sp., occurs naturally in mangrove forests along tropical coasts. Nowadays, the algae can be cultivated in large tanks in an environmentally friendly manner to extract the valuable algae oil of consistently high quality. 

The benefits of omega-3 from algae rather than fish:

• The sustainable cultivation of the algae in huge tanks helps to protect fish and krill stocks and the natural marine ecosystem.
• As it is produced in closed systems, algae oil prevents the uptake of pollutants (e.g. heavy metals), as can be the case in polluted seas.
• The algae Schizochytrium sp. contain more omega-3 than fish.
• Our algae oil is iodine-free.
• Algae oil is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
• Unlike fish, algae oil does not pose a microplastics problem.
