OMEGA 3 PREMIUM

Omega-3 fatty acids are fat-soluble. Food promotes bile secretion and the activity of digestive enzymes, which play a role in their processing and absorption. This is particularly important for concentrated omega-3s in the form of ethyl esters.

During production, EPA and DHA are separated and concentrated into an ethyl ester form. This allows for a high concentration of EPA and DHA in a single capsule. In the digestive tract, the ethyl esters are broken down enzymatically, and the released EPA and DHA are then absorbed. For optimal absorption, we recommend taking the capsules with a meal containing fat.

Anchovies are small pelagic fish that are naturally rich in marine omega-3 fatty acids. The fatty acid composition of their bodies is not influenced by the plant-based components of their diet, as is the case with farm-raised fish.

Small, short-lived fish also generally have a lower potential for accumulating certain contaminants than large, long-lived predatory fish. However, purity cannot be assessed based solely on the species of fish—the purification of the oil and analytical testing of the finished product are crucial.

EPA and DHA are sensitive to oxygen, light, and heat. When they oxidize, hydroperoxides are formed first, followed by aldehydes and other compounds that cause the oil’s quality, taste, and aroma to deteriorate.

Three oxidation parameters are therefore specified for finished soft capsules:

• peroxide value (PV) ≤ 5 meq/kg,
• p-anizidine number p-AV ≤ 20,
• Total Oxidation Index (TOTOX) ≤ 26.

Checking all three parameters provides a more accurate picture than the peroxide value alone.

Not necessarily. A fishy aftertaste can occur even with high-quality oil, especially if the capsules are taken on an empty stomach or shortly before bedtime. It may help to take them with a main meal or to split the daily dose into two portions.

However, a strong musty or yellowish odor, or damaged or leaking capsules, are not normal. Do not use such a product and contact the seller.

Yes, omega-3 supplements do not need to be taken in cycles. When taking them long-term, stick to the recommended daily dose and do not exceed it; also take into account any other supplements containing EPA and DHA, as an overdose is possible.

Generally speaking, yes. Omega-3 can be combined, for example, with vitamin D, magnesium, or multivitamins. If you are taking multiple supplements containing fish oil or krill oil, add up their total EPA and DHA content.

The recommended daily dose provides 1,380 mg of EPA + DHA and is not considered a high dose for most adults. However, if you are taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, have a blood clotting disorder, or are scheduled for surgery or an invasive procedure, consult your doctor before use. Your doctor should decide whether to discontinue use.

No. This product contains fish oil derived from anchovies; therefore, it is not intended for people with allergies to fish or any of the product’s ingredients.

DHA is an important omega-3 fatty acid during pregnancy and breastfeeding as well; however, it is advisable to choose a specific supplement and dosage after consulting a doctor. For children, the dosage must be adjusted according to their age, diet, and ability to safely swallow a soft gel capsule. Therefore, do not give children the adult daily dose without a pediatrician’s recommendation.

Store them in their original, tightly sealed container in a dry, dark place at the temperature specified by the manufacturer. Keep them away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Close the container immediately after each use.

A small supply is not a problem if the expiration date is sufficiently far off, but large, long-term supplies are not ideal. Oxidation proceeds slowly even during storage. At a dose of two capsules per day, one 100-capsule package will last approximately 50 days. We recommend not opening multiple packages at the same time and using the package with the shortest expiration date first.
