VITAQ® OMEGA3 1100

We had our EPAX fish oil capsules tested by two leading laboratories in Germany. The result was unequivocal: the heavy metal content of our capsules is below the detection limit - and therefore far below the limits of GOED, IFOS and the EU. No heavy metals were detectable at all. Almost all Omega-3 products claim to be "below the EU limit" for heavy metals. This means values are low - but potentially still detectable. "Below detection limit" means our laboratory instruments cannot detect any trace. This is the highest possible standard.

TOTOX (Total Oxidation Value) measures the degree of oxidation in a fish oil. The lower the value, the fresher and higher quality the product. The EU limit is set at 26. VITAQ measures 6.56 - exactly four times below the permitted maximum. Most conventional products measure between 10 and 25. The high purity and concentration of EPA+DHA in rTG form keeps oxidation naturally low - which also eliminates fishy odour and aftertaste.

Yes, the EPAX fish oil used is well known for its sustainability. EPAX Norway AS sources its raw materials from sustainably managed fish stocks and operates according to the guidelines of the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), and is also certified by "Friend of the Sea". With the goal of using 100% renewable energy and further minimising its environmental impact, EPAX is committed to sustainable and responsible operations.

Yes, there are more than 100 peer-reviewed clinical studies in which EPAX raw materials were used. These studies document the safety and efficacy of EPAX Omega-3 concentrates across various health areas including cardiovascular health, joint function, dementia, immunology, pregnancy and metabolism. The high quality and purity of EPAX oils makes them particularly suitable for scientific studies.

EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) are long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision. Each VITAQ capsule contains 667 mg EPA and 333 mg DHA, totalling 1,000 mg EPA+DHA per capsule and 3,000 mg EPA+DHA for the recommended daily dose of 3 capsules.

A triglyceride content above 90% is important because triglycerides represent the natural form of Omega-3 fatty acids that the body can absorb and utilise efficiently. This is called bioavailability - the proportion of a substance that actually reaches the bloodstream after intake and can be used by the body. The rTG form (re-esterified triglycerides) achieves a bioavailability of 90-95%, significantly higher than ethyl esters (50-60%) used in most conventional products.

EPAX fish oil comes mainly from wild-caught cod, anchovies and mackerel from clean waters, primarily off the coast of Peru. These fish are at the beginning of the food chain and are naturally rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, while containing comparatively little environmental pollution such as heavy metals. EPAX applies strict sustainable fishing standards, works with certified suppliers and uses state-of-the-art purification technologies. The oil is processed immediately after the catch to guarantee maximum freshness, purity and minimal oxidation.

So far we have not found a vegan option that achieves a dose like our Omega-3 1100 capsules. Although algae oil already contains EPA and DHA directly, the EPA concentration per capsule is usually too low: you would generally need to take 2-4 capsules. With plant-based oils such as linseed oil, the situation is even more challenging, as the ALA (Alpha-Linolenic acid) they contain must first be converted in the body to EPA and DHA, resulting in very small amounts of these essential fatty acids.

Fishy odour and aftertaste in Omega-3 capsules are caused by the oxidation of fatty acids. An extremely low TOTOX value (6.56 in VITAQ, EU limit 26) means the oil is exceptionally fresh and virtually free of oxidation. Fresh product has no odour or aftertaste. The extremely high EPA+DHA concentration in rTG form, the rigorous German production process and strict cold chain management guarantee this result for every single batch.

Omega-3 fatty acids are generally well tolerated. In rare cases, mild gastrointestinal complaints such as nausea, diarrhoea or belching may occur when taking Omega-3 capsules. However, people who take prescription medication should always consult their doctor before taking Omega-3 capsules to avoid possible interactions or unwanted effects. This applies in particular to people with heart conditions.

Only after consulting a doctor. High-dose Omega-3 can have a mild anticoagulant effect. In combination with pharmacological anticoagulants (warfarin, marcumar, aspirin, direct oral anticoagulants), effects may be potentiated. If you are on anticoagulant therapy or have a bleeding disorder, always consult your treating physician before starting supplementation.

Yes. VITAQ is designed as a daily Longevity routine for regular, ongoing use. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids that the body cannot synthesise and must obtain from diet. Regular long-term supplementation is well documented in scientific literature. If you have pre-existing health conditions or take medication, we recommend consulting a doctor beforehand.

Which alternative do you have in mind exactly? Please write to us and name a product with 1,000 mg EPA+DHA per capsule in rTG form, EPAX fish oil documented in over 100 clinical studies, TOTOX 6.56, heavy metals below detection limit, MSC and "Friend of the Sea" certification, and 83 publicly published analytical parameters per batch. We are curious. € 0.65 per 1,000 mg of EPA/DHA.

Yes. VITAQ pairs perfectly with all ASPRIVA products: CORE, SLEEP, SMILE and GLOW. The formulations were developed with mutual compatibility in mind. If you take medication regularly and wish to combine multiple products, we recommend consulting a doctor beforehand.
