NatuGena Omega-3 Vegan Oil – Plant-based omega-3 oil with a refreshing lemon flavour. This high-quality algae oil is extracted from the microalga Schizochytrium sp. – entirely plant-based and sustainably produced. Our Omega-3 Vegan Oil delivers a remarkably high content of DHA and EPA. 100 ml in a practical amber glass bottle – a 20-day supply.

  • Algae oil from Schizochytrium sp.: Plant-based source of DHA and EPA
  • Protection with olive oil: Rich in polyphenols to stabilise sensitive fatty acids
  • Sustainably cultivated: Marine resources are preserved through closed-loop bio-fermentation systems
  • Free from fish contact: No marine contamination thanks to controlled indoor cultivation
  • Amber glass bottle: Protects from light to ensure freshness and stability
  • Sustainable cultivation: Resource-efficient, fish-free and controlled
  • Made in Germany: Exceptional purity and bioavailability for optimal nutrient support
  • TOTOX value below 3: Exceptionally fresh algae oil with maximum oxidative stability

What makes vegan omega-3 capsules from algae so special?

Our Omega-3 Vegan Capsules are based on oil from the microalga Schizochytrium sp., a plant-based source of DHA and EPA – the two most important omega-3 fatty acids. This makes them an ideal choice for those avoiding fish while maintaining a high-quality omega-3 intake. Our vegan algae oil is rich in DHA and EPA, which contribute to the maintenance of normal heart function.* Additionally, DHA supports normal brain function and vision.**

What protects omega-3 fatty acids in liquid form?

Sensitive fatty acids such as DHA and EPA require special protection from oxidation. We use premium cold-pressed olive oil, rich in polyphenols. Combined with the light-protective amber glass bottle, the oil remains stable and high in quality.

How is this plant-based omega-3 source cultivated in a controlled environment?

The microalgae naturally grow in mangrove forests along tropical coastlines and feed on plant-based nutrients.

Our vegan omega-3 products represent a breakthrough fusion of nature and science, based on sustainable algae cultivation. The algae are cultured in closed stainless-steel bio-fermenters, completely free from environmental influence or contamination. We use deep well water known for its purity and mineral content. This cultivation system protects the algae from external factors and preserves the oil’s purity.

What role does sustainable algae production play in protecting ecosystems?

Unlike fish or krill oil, marine ecosystems remain undisturbed.

Microalgae-based production actively supports marine conservation, protects fish stocks and avoids contamination with microplastics or heavy metals. A clear advantage in terms of environmental impact, product quality and responsibility.

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.

Our omega-3 oils also contain cold-pressed olive oils. How can you tell the quality of olive oil?

  • Good olive oil has a fruity aroma reminiscent of ripe or green fruit
  • It tastes fresh and has a slightly bitter note
  • It has a distinct piquancy on the finish

This piquancy therefore comes from the polyphenol-rich olive oil. Cloudiness or flocculation in the fridge is normal and a sign of natural quality.

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).

The recommendation to use the oil within 30 days of opening is intended to ensure the best possible quality and freshness. Provided the bottle is kept tightly sealed at all times and stored in the fridge, exceeding this timeframe slightly is generally not a problem. Nevertheless, we recommend using the oil within the recommended period wherever possible, as omega-3 fatty acids are sensitive to oxygen, light and heat and may lose their quality over time.

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.

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.
