BIOGENA SPORTS - Vegan Omega-3 Oil
High-quality plant-based omega-3 fatty acids in our sports line
Omega-3 fatty acids are a real game-changer for athletes! They not only contribute to heart health but also support vision andbrain function1).
Scientific studies have now clearly demonstrated how crucial an adequate supply of omega-3 fatty acidsis forhealth1). The intake of these essential fatty acids therefore plays a particularly important role for physically active individuals in terms of their cardiovascular fitness and cognitiveperformance1). For athletes, an omega-3 index target range of 8–11% is considered desirable. In both competitive and recreational sports, sports nutrition experts recommend an intake of 1–2 g of omega-3 fatty acids in the form of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) to support optimal heart and brain function during all phases of training and competition. Those aiming for peak performance should therefore integrate omega-3 fatty acids as a regular part of their training plan.
In recent years, oil derived from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp. has established itself as an excellent vegan alternative to fish and krill oils. Therefore, it represents an excellent omega-3 option not only for those following a plant-based diet but also for people who care about sustainability. The oil is obtained through physical extraction processes without the use of organic solvents, ensuring the highest purity and quality.
BIOGENA SPORTS Omega-3 Oil vegan provides high-quality omega-3 fatty acids in the form of EPA, DHA, and DPA (docosapentaenoic acid) from plant-based algae oil combined with olive oil in liquid form. Thanks to its natural flavor, the oil has a refreshing lemon note. It can be enjoyed neat or stirred into cold dishes such as salads and yogurt.
With a high dosage of 2100 mg of omega-3 fatty acids per daily serving, this product is the ideal choice for athletes to support mental and physical well-being during periods of increased stress.

FAQ
Yes, our BIOGENA SPORTS Omega-3 oil is 100 % vegan. It is obtained from algae oil and is the plant-based alternative to fish oil.
Yes, plant-based omega-3 from algae provides the same important fatty acids (EPA and DHA) as fish oil, only without animal products. It is just as effective and sustainable.
Algae oil directly contains the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which are particularly important for the heart and brain. Linseed oil provides ALA, which must first be converted.
Our BIOGENA SPORTS Omega-3 oil is extracted from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp. This algae is rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA.
Yes, vegan omega-3 from algae is just as high-quality a source of EPA and DHA as fish oil. It supports the heart, brain and regeneration - without any animal products.
Due to the flavours contained in liquid products, it is not possible to measure the TOTOX of the end product. We therefore measure the quality using the peroxide value and acid value instead. For our new Omega 3 liquid vegan Superior, the peroxide value is 3.2 meq/kg and the acid value is <0.2 mg KOH/g.
Olive oil, for example, typically has an acid value of 0.41 mg KOH/g. Our oil is therefore of very good freshness and quality.
At BIOGENA, “pure substance principle” means that we do not use technological additives which are used for the fully automated manufacturing of tablets, capsules and pills (e.g. anticaking or release agents and so forth) or additives that are used for optical reasons or for enhancing the taste of the products (artificial aroma, colouring agents, coatings etc.). Due to a semi-automatic manufacturing process, we can avoid these substances that often have a higher proportion in customary products than the actual active ingredients. In the case of nutritional supplements, additives have to be indicated in the list of ingredients. Here, the patient or customer can get useful information. Concerning the single ingredients, we also care for our raw materials to be free of carrier substances. In cases where this is not possible, we use natural food components such as maltodextrin, cellulose powder or calcium carbonate. The majority of our ingredients is produced exclusively for us – free of carrier substances (e.g. our enzymes our probiotics: other manufacturers often use lactose as a carrier – the product batches produced for us are explicitly without carriers).
