  • Highly concentrated omega-3 fatty acids: Contains EPA, DHA, and DPA in an optimally balanced composition
  • TOTOX value below 3: Exceptionally fresh fish oil with maximum oxidative stability
  • Peruvian sardines: Sustainable omega-3 source with an ideal EPA/DHA profile
  • Certified origin: Certified by “Friend of the Sea” and “MarinTrust”
  • Neutral-tasting softgels: Odourless and no fishy aftertaste
  • Made in Germany: Exceptional purity and bioavailability for optimal nutrient uptake

Why are omega-3 fatty acids important?

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats that the body cannot produce on its own. In particular, EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart with a daily intake of 250 mg. DHA also supports the maintenance of normal vision and brain function. NatuGena Omega-3 Capsules offer an expertly balanced supply of all three key marine fatty acids: EPA, DHA, and DPA.

Why do the omega-3 fatty acids come from Peruvian sardines?

NatuGena Omega-3 uses fish oil derived from Peruvian sardines – a highly sustainable source of marine omega-3 fatty acids. Sardines are small, short-lived wild fish at the bottom of the food chain, which means they are naturally lower in contaminants like heavy metals. Certifications such as Friend of the Sea and MarinTrust confirm sustainable sourcing and responsible fishing practices. Sardines also naturally contain a balanced ratio of EPA and DHA, which are highly bioavailable and readily utilised by the body – making them an ideal foundation for premium-quality omega-3 supplements.

Why is the TOTOX value a key quality indicator?

The oxidation level of omega-3 oil is crucial for quality and safety. This is measured using the TOTOX value (Total Oxidation Value). A low TOTOX value indicates freshness. NatuGena Omega-3 has a maximum TOTOX value of just 3, well below the generally accepted threshold. Combined with a neutral-tasting softgel and fully transparent sourcing, this guarantees a high-quality, well-tolerated omega-3 product.

Recognizing Omega-3 Deficiency Symptoms: The Underestimated Nutritional Deficiency

Omega-3 fatty acids are among the essential nutrients that our bodies cannot produce on their own—so we must obtain them through our diet. They play numerous roles in the body, from cell structure and the cardiovascular system to the brain and eyes. The omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), found in fatty ocean fish, are particularly important. The plant-based precursor ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), found in flaxseed oil, for example, also contributes to our intake.

Capsules are ideal for people who prefer a simple and precise way of taking their supplement. The oil is ideal for those who wish to adjust their dosage flexibly or who have difficulty swallowing capsules.

Benefits of omega-3 oil:

  • Flexible: Can be dosed individually and mixed into food (e.g. smoothies).
  • For high doses: Ideal when larger quantities are required. We recommend the specified daily dose.
  • Easy to swallow: Ideal for people who have difficulty swallowing.


Benefits of omega-3 capsules:

  • Convenient: Easy to measure out and take with you on the go.
  • No oily aftertaste
  • Precise dosing: More targeted dosing, as it is divided into capsules

Omega-3 can be a useful long-term supplement due to its benefits. It is also suitable for pregnant women: 450 mg of EPA/DHA per day during pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding (in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/2470).

The products are manufactured safely in accordance with German quality standards (GMP). NatuGena Omega-3 oil products are free from gluten, lactose, fructose, colourings and anti-caking agents. They contain essential oils: the vegan algae oil contains natural lemon oil, and the sunflower oil contains rosemary extract. The fish oil contains a natural orange and lemon flavouring. The capsules are without flavouring.

We would like to provide you with a clear explanation of this quality parameter below and highlight the unique features of our product.

The Totox value (Total Oxidation Value) is a key measure for assessing the oxidative stability and, consequently, the freshness of an omega-3 oil. It is calculated as the sum of the primary (peroxide value) and secondary oxidation products (anisidine value) and provides information on the overall extent of oxidative damage to the oil.

Important: The Totox value should be measured in the crude oil – that is, before it is enriched with vitamins, polyphenols or other active ingredients. Additives such as flavourings (e.g. lemon oil) or antioxidants can influence the anisidine value and thus distort the Totox value, even though the actual oxidation of the base oil has not changed. Only by analysing the unprocessed crude oil is it possible to make an objective comparison between products.

The omega-3 oils we use meet the highest quality standards and are characterised by particularly low Totox values. According to the GOED (Global Organisation for EPA and DHA Omega-3), the Totox value should not exceed 26 – an excellent value is ideally below 10. The revised guidelines for edible fats and oils (BVL, 30 May 2011) specify a maximum Totox value of 10 for refined oils. The Totox values of our NatuGena omega-3 raw materials consistently fall within the range of 1–3, depending on the batch.

Unlike many conventional omega-3 products, our oil is not a pure fish or algae oil, but a functionally enriched formulation. We combine the high-purity omega-3 crude oil with selected polyphenols, vitamins (e.g. vitamin E to protect cells from oxidative stress) and other bioactive ingredients. This enables us to achieve synergistic effects at the cellular level and specifically promote absorption and the protective properties of the product.

The oxidative stability – and thus the efficacy and tolerability – of our product is directly attributable to the exceptionally high quality of the crude oil used. The Totox value is a key indicator in this regard, which we monitor regularly.

Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), play an important role in your baby’s brain and eye development. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recommends that pregnant and breastfeeding women consume an additional 200 mg of DHA per day.

Our recommendations take into account the guidelines set out in the EU Novel Food Regulation, which stipulates a maximum daily intake of 450 mg of EPA and DHA for certain omega-3 products.

Algae oil
During pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding, we recommend taking 5 ml of algae oil every 5 days. This dosage provides an average of around 270 mg of DHA per day and is therefore ideally suited to the recommendations for supporting your child’s development.

If you prefer a simple daily routine, you can alternatively opt for our vegan omega-3 capsules.

Vegan omega-3 capsules (algae oil-based)
Outside of pregnancy and breastfeeding, 3 capsules a day are recommended. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, however, 1 capsule a day is sufficient; this provides approximately 375 mg of EPA/DHA and is therefore within the legal limits.

Ideally, take them with or after a meal, with plenty of liquid.

Fish oil
For adults, the standard recommendation is 6.25 ml daily, taken with or after a meal. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, we recommend 6.25 ml every 6 days, so that the average daily intake also complies with the applicable guidelines.

How can I check my omega-3 status?
As individual omega-3 requirements can vary, the HS-Omega-3 Index® self-test offers a simple way to objectively assess your own intake. The test measures the proportion of omega-3 fatty acids directly in your red blood cells and shows whether your intake is optimal or whether adjusting the dosage might be advisable.

Once opened, we recommend storing the product in the fridge and using it in accordance with the instructions on the packaging (daily pack). The oil must not be heated.

For our algae oil, we use a vegan soft starch capsule shell made from glycerine and maize starch. For our fish oil, we use soft gelatine capsules made from gelatine and glycerine (not vegan).

To transport the Omega product, it can be placed in a cool bag or with an ice pack. Once at your holiday destination, it should be stored in the fridge if possible. If it is not possible to keep it cool continuously for a few hours during the journey, this is not usually a problem.

We offer a range of different products for children:

  • Gummies
  • Juice
  • Capsules
  • Drops
All-Rounders

For children and teenagers, we recommend the delicious Wowtamins gummies. They contain vitamins as well as zinc, iodine, selenium, and omega-3.

If omega-3 is taken separately as a liquid oil, wowtamins KIDS Multi Gummies can be used without omega-3 for children aged 4–9.

Nutrient support is particularly easy for children with our all-rounder MultiVegan – one capsule already contains 200 mg calcium, 3 mg iron, 50 µg iodine, 20 µg selenium, 2 mg zinc, and vitamins B2, B9, and B12.

Immune System

Curcuma Liquid is a delicious juice containing a phyto-complex with vitamin C and 95% curcuminoids. Our Immune Set provides all important vitamins and trace elements for the immune system as a value set.

Colostrum contains important immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, and IgM). It is obtained from the first milk of mammals. Colostrum is also well suited for children.

Gut and Digestion

MukosaRepair Powder contains, among other ingredients, L-glutamine, aloe vera, and licorice root (DGL). The formula with plant extracts is traditionally used to support mucous membranes (e.g. in the gut) and has a pleasantly sweet taste thanks to stevia – making it suitable for children as well.

BactoGena Liquid Plus is a liquid herbal ferment containing bioactive enzymes, 33 selected microorganisms, and 20 organically grown herbs. It is suitable for adults, children from the age when complementary foods are introduced, and pregnant women. Not suitable for people with histamine intolerance. Alternatively, BactoGena Liquid Pur is also available without the herbal taste.

Minerals

If there is an increased need for minerals, the gummies can be supplemented with Magnesium Malate & Glycinate. This product has the smallest capsule size of our magnesium products.

For an increased need for iron, we offer wowtamins Iron Gummies. Alternatively, you can choose our Vegan Iron or Liposomal Iron.

OrgaMin Powder provides a comprehensive spectrum of 14 different minerals. The measuring spoon allows for flexible dosing, and the powder can be mixed with water.

Vitamins & Omega

Omega Kids Vegan was specifically developed for children aged 4 and over. It provides 284 mg of omega-3 fatty acids per daily serving (2.5 ml) and also contains 400 IU of vitamin D.

Vitamin D may be beneficial for children. We offer different dosage forms (drops, tablets, and capsules) – see our vitamin D products.

Our vitamin B complex, HydroVitamins, offers flexibility with 3 small capsules, which can also be opened. For vitamin B12, we offer a liquid product with a convenient 10 µg per drop for flexible dosing.

Dosage

In general, the recommended intake stated on the packaging applies to adults. Since children’s nutrient requirements vary depending on age, body weight, diet, and individual circumstances, the use and dosage of our products should be discussed with the treating pediatrician in advance. Please note that not all ingredients and products are suitable for children. Suitability should therefore always be professionally assessed on an individual basis.

Many capsules can generally be opened and their contents mixed into food or a drink, such as (coconut) yogurt, applesauce, or mashed potatoes. However, this should not be used as a basis for independently determining the dosage for children.

For drops as well, the amount and frequency of intake for children should be determined individually based on tolerance and need, in consultation with a healthcare professional.

Most of our capsules can be opened without any concerns. The contents can be stirred into yogurt, plant-based yogurt, applesauce, smoothies, or juice, for example.

One of the reasons we encapsulate the ingredients is to keep their sometimes intense natural taste and smell as neutral as possible. When opened, the taste and smell may therefore be more noticeable.

Did you know? Our capsules can be easily opened by gently twisting them.

Please do not open: enteric-coated capsules

For certain bacterial and enzyme products, we use enteric-coated capsules. These should not be opened, as doing so may alter the intended release profile.

These include, for example:

  • Bacterial preparations, such as HistaBakt, MakroAktiv, and BactoGena 21+2
  • Enzyme products, such as N-Zymarase® Intest and N-Zymarase® Inflam. Exception: N-Zymarase Komplex contains betaine HCl, which is intended to take effect in the stomach; therefore, it does not have an enteric-coated capsule shell and can be opened
  • Soft capsules with liquid contents, such as omega-3 capsules, are also not intended to be opened. In this case, you can switch to the liquid oil instead.

If you have any questions, please contact our advisory team at info@natugena.de.

From the very beginning, NatuGena has used exceptionally pure, plant-based HPMC capsules in the majority of its products. HPMC stands for hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and is made from plant-based cellulose.

Unlike many HPMC capsules commonly available on the market, the coating agents we use contain no carrageenan or PEG. Although they are more expensive, they meet our high standards for a carefully selected and transparent product composition.

Our plant-based HPMC capsules are:
  • 100% plant-based cellulose (HPMC)
  • Carrageenan-free
  • PEG-free
  • Gelatin-free
  • GMO-free
  • Free of allergens and irritants
What types of capsule shells are used in omega-3 products?

Special softgels are required for liquid oils. Our classic omega-3 capsules therefore contain a coating made from gelatin and glycerin and are not vegan.

In our vegan omega-3 capsules made from algae oil, the coating consists of glycerin and modified cornstarch and contains no gelatin. This makes these capsules suitable for a vegan diet.

The exact composition of each coating agent is clearly listed in the ingredients list.

It All Comes Down to the Composition

Conventional capsule shells may contain technical additives—such as anti-caking agents, release agents, or binders—due to the manufacturing process. These components aren’t always immediately apparent, as certain processing aids aren’t required to be listed in the ingredients list.

People who take several dietary supplements daily, in particular, regularly ingest not only the actual ingredients but also the respective capsule shells. That is why at NatuGena, we pay close attention not only to the quality of the nutrients and plant-based ingredients contained in our products but also to the composition and processing of the capsule shells. For us, transparency, purity, and quality go hand in hand.

Most of the NatuGena capsule products are size 00 (8,2 × 23,3 mm) to 0 (7,3 × 21,2 mm). Information on the capsule sizes of individual products can be found on the relevant product page or by contacting info@natugena.de

We work with the independent laboratory AgroLab, which we commission to perform microbiological and heavy metal tests.

In our microbiological testing, we measure the aerobic mesophilic plate count (total plate count), as well as the levels of Escherichia coli (E. coli), yeasts, Salmonella, molds, and staphylococci.

For heavy metals, we test for arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury in accordance with the limit values specified in Regulation (EU) 2023/915.

The optimal duration of use depends on the specific nutrient, your initial situation, diet, and individual requirements.

There is therefore no one-size-fits-all recommendation for how long a product should be taken. For products intended to support nutrient intake over a longer period, use over several weeks to months may be appropriate. In many cases, a period of around three months may be suitable before nutrient status and further requirements are reassessed.

In the case of diagnosed deficiencies, medical conditions, or the use of medication, the use of supplements should be individually discussed with a doctor or qualified healthcare professional.

The optimal time to take a supplement depends on the specific nutrient, individual tolerance, and the composition of the product. However, some ingredients can be particularly well suited to certain times of day or meals.

In the morning

Stimulating ingredients are often preferably taken in the morning or during the first half of the day. These include, for example:

  • Coenzyme Q10
  • Green tea extract
  • Certain B vitamins

Especially for sensitive individuals, it may be advisable to avoid taking stimulating ingredients immediately before bedtime.

Throughout the day

For some nutrients, it may be beneficial to divide the daily amount into several doses.

Water-soluble vitamins such as B vitamins and vitamin C can be taken throughout the day.

Magnesium can also be divided into several doses rather than taking the entire daily amount at once. This may improve tolerance, particularly with higher amounts.

In the evening

Depending on the type of magnesium compound, taking it in the evening may be beneficial. Magnesium glycinate, for example, is often preferably taken in the evening.

In general, however, the best time to take a product also depends on when it is individually best tolerated and can be reliably incorporated into your daily routine.

With a meal

Some nutrients benefit from being taken together with a meal.

Fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K can be taken together and ideally with a meal containing some fat.

Omega-3 fatty acids should also be taken regularly with a meal. Omega-3 oils can be combined well with fat-soluble vitamins.

Many plant-based ingredients can also be taken as part of a meal or together with omega-3 products. However, the optimal timing depends on the specific plant compound and product formulation.

Zinc can cause nausea or stomach discomfort on an empty stomach in some people. If you have a sensitive stomach, it is therefore advisable to take zinc with a meal.

Between meals

Iron is often taken separately from meals, as various foods and beverages can affect its absorption. It is particularly advisable to leave a gap between iron and:

  • Coffee and tea
  • Caffeinated beverages
  • Milk and dairy products
  • Calcium- or mineral-rich supplements

However, if you have a sensitive stomach, iron can also be taken with a meal. In this case, individual tolerance is more important than a theoretically optimal intake situation.

Enzyme supplements vary depending on their intended use: digestive enzymes are generally taken with meals. Products that are specifically intended to be taken between meals may, for example, be taken around 30 minutes before a meal. The product's specific recommended intake should always be followed.

Around exercise

Proteins and amino acids can be taken both before and after training.

If you exercise on an empty stomach, taking them around 30 minutes before training may be beneficial. If you have already eaten a protein-rich meal, you can also plan your protein intake for after training.

In general, ensuring sufficient protein intake throughout the entire day is more important than adhering to a narrow time window around your workout.
