DHA and EPA – vegan, derived from algae.
Burgerstein Omega-3 vegan is a product derived from algae oil with a particularly high content of the valuable omega-3 fatty acid DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
- High DHA content: 250 mg per capsule
- Vegan
- Made from algae that are cultivated in an environmentally friendly way
- Good alternative to fish oil
Who is Burgerstein Omega-3 vegan particularly suitable for?
Burgerstein Omega-3 vegan is a good plant-based alternative to fish oil and is characterised by a high proportion of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA.
Burgerstein Omega-3 vegan is particularly suitable for:
-
People who care about brain function
The brain needs a variety of nutrients to maintain its normal functions. DHA is an important part of the brain and helps maintain normal brain function.1
-
People who care about maintaining vision
It becomes increasingly important to maintain our vision and eye function as we grow older. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.1
-
Pregnant and breastfeeding women
The supply of DHA plays a particular role during pregnancy and when breastfeeding. The intake of DHA by the mother contributes to the normal development of vision and of the brain in the foetus and in the breastfed infant.2
-
People who eat little or no fish
Oily fish are natural sources of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA. People who rarely or never eat fish can supplement their DHA intake in a targeted manner. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and vision.1
1 Positive effect with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA
2 Beneficial if 200 mg of DHA is taken daily in addition to the recommended daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids (i.e. 250 mg DHA and EPA) for adults
Take 1 capsule a day with a meal.
Oil rich in DHA and EPA derived from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp., coating agents (glycerine, modified starch, carrageenan), antioxidants (mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract, L-ascorbyl palmitate).
Store at room temperature. Keep out of the reach of young children. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Developed in Switzerland, manufactured in Europe.

Why are omega-3 products suitable for people who eat little or no fish?
People who eat little or no fish consume little EPA and DHA in their diet. In addition, our body only produces the two fatty acids in small quantities from alpha-linolenic acid. Targeted supplementation of DHA may therefore be particularly useful for people who eat little or no fish.
Does Burgerstein have other omega-3 products?
Yes. Burgerstein Omega-3 offers the following products:
Burgerstein Omega-3 DHA, with a higher DHA level; Burgerstein Omega-3 EPA, with a higher EPA level and Burgerstein Omega-3 vegan, for people who want to avoid fish oil or follow a vegan diet. There is also a liquid version available with Burgerstein Omega-3 liquid.
What are omega-3 fatty acids?
Omega-3 fatty acids are a group of polyunsaturated fatty acids that are very important for the body. The most important omega-3 fatty acids include alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). ALA is mainly found in plant-based foods such as linseed oil and walnuts. EPA and DHA are found in particular in oily marine fish and in certain kinds of algae.
What are the functions of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA in the body?
DHA is an important omega-3 fatty acid and a natural component of the body. It is found in particular in the cell membranes of nerve cells and the retina. Amongst other things, DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and vision.¹
What is the difference between the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA?
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) are polyunsaturated fatty acids that occur naturally primarily in oily marine fish, but also in certain kinds of algae. They perform different tasks in the body.
DHA is particularly important for the brain and the eyes1. Together with DHA, EPA plays an important role in cardiac function. 3
This means that, based on specific requirements, an omega-3 supplement with a higher proportion of DHA or EPA may be useful.
1 Positive effect with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA.3 Positive effect with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA combined
Which foods contain omega-3?
Omega-3 fatty acids are found in both animal and plant foods. Oily marine fish such as salmon, herring, mackerel and sardines are particularly good sources of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. Plant-based foods such as flaxseed, chia seeds, tree nuts, linseed oil and rapeseed oil contain omega-3 mainly in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
What is the difference between fish oil and algae oil?
Fish oil and algae oil differ mainly in their origin – both provide important omega-3 fatty acids.
- Fish oil is extracted from oily fish such as salmon, herring, mackerel and sardines. It typically contains the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.
- Algae oil is extracted directly from microalgae. Microalgae are particularly rich in the omega-3 fatty acid DHA, but they also provide EPA. Algae oil is a good plant-based alternative to fish oil.
