High-dose EPA & DHA Vegan Omega-3
This formula has been developed for those seeking a high-dose EPA & DHA omega-3 with maximum purity. The 2000 mg omega-3 per serving provides 1200 mg EPA and 800 mg DHA.
The benefits of omega-3 from algae
Fish do not produce omega-3 themselves. They obtain it from algae. With algal oil, you go directly to this original source. This offers a number of benefits:
- No exposure to ocean pollution
- No pressure on fish stocks
- No fishy aftertaste or burps
In addition, algae are plant-based, making this a vegan omega-3 supplement.
Natural and EPA-dominant
Not every omega-3 from algal oil is the same. Many omega-3 products are chemically concentrated to achieve higher EPA levels. In this process, fatty acids are separated, processed and reassembled (re-esterification). This changes the oil's original structure.
Our microalgae (Schizochytrium sp.) are naturally rich in EPA and do not require this processing. As a result, the oil remains in its original state:
- without chemical concentration
- without re-esterification
- while preserving the natural fatty acid structure
The omega-3 fatty acids remain present in their original triglyceride form — just as nature intended.
How NoordCode High EPA & DHA Vegan Omega-3 is made
A clean and controlled process guarantees purity and consistency:
1. Cultivation
Microalgae (Schizochytrium sp.) are cultivated under controlled conditions in closed fermentation systems.
2. Extraction
Natural enzymes break down the cell walls, allowing the oil to be released gently from the algae, without aggressive or chemical processes.
3. Purification
Light refining removes unwanted substances while preserving the natural structure.
4. Stabilisation
Natural tocopherols protect the oil against oxidation.
TOTOX < 5
Freshness is crucial to the quality of omega-3.
TOTOX (Total Oxidation Value) is an international standard used to indicate the oxidation value of an oil. Low values mean minimal oxidation and maximum quality.
The algal oil we used has an exceptionally low TOTOX of < 5. The formula in the bottle has a TOTOX of 6.51 ((2x2.5)+1.51).
With Sicilian lemon oil
Daily omega-3 should be easy to take. That is why we have added Sicilian lemon oil, sourced from high-quality Mediterranean lemons. This provides a mild, pleasant flavour.
