Omega-3 Plus has the same foundation as our Omega-3, namely 250 mg DHA and 125 mg EPA from algae oil, plus astaxanthin and phospholipids. It can help with:

Heart: EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart.

Brain: DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function.

Eyes: DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.

+ Astaxanthin: 1.5 mg natural astaxanthin from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. This red pigment protects the oil against oxidation, so your omega-3 stays fresh.

+ Phospholipids: approx. 230 mg phosphatidylcholine, the form in which omega-3 also occurs in krill oil.

For these claims: the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA and DHA combined, or 250 mg DHA for brain and eyes.

2 softgels daily with or after a meal

Product details

Omega-3 Plus

Your daily omega-3,
upgraded

plnktn Omega-3 Plus has the same foundation as our Omega-3: at least 250 mg DHA and 125 mg EPA per daily dose, from the microalga Schizochytrium sp. 100% plant-based and fish-free. On top of that, we add two things: natural astaxanthin and phospholipids.

EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA and DHA. DHA also contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision. These beneficial effects are obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA.

+ Astaxanthin. Omega-3 Plus contains 1.5 mg astaxanthin from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. This deep red pigment, often called the king of carotenoids, protects the oil against oxidation, so your omega-3 stays fresh.

+ Phospholipids. Omega-3 Plus also contains phospholipids, including phosphatidylcholine. Phospholipids help with the absorption of omega-3 in the body. It is also the form in which omega-3 occurs in krill oil. So you get the qualities of krill oil, but 100% plant-based and without putting pressure on the Antarctic ecosystem.

The dark side of fish and krill oil

Around 17 billion kilos of fish are caught for omega-3 every year, and krill fishing has quadrupled since the 1990s. That puts enormous pressure on the ocean, while fish and krill don't even make their own omega-3 and astaxanthin. They get it from algae. That's why we go straight to the source.

Fished out for a few capsules

Fish oil mostly comes from anchovies, krill oil from tiny shrimp-like crustaceans from Antarctica. Huge quantities are taken from the sea for just a little oil.

The whole ecosystem pays the price

Anchovies and krill are at the base of the food chain. Fewer of them means less food for whales, penguins, seals and larger fish.

Why fish or krill? It starts with algae.

Fish and krill don't make omega-3 or astaxanthin, they get it from algae. Omega-3 Plus goes straight to the source: everything from algae, grown on land.

"More people and not enough fish"

70 percent of the world's population does not get the omega-3 they need. And if everyone in the world wanted to get it from fish, there simply isn't enough fish in the ocean. This is according to scientists at NTNU - Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

What is the difference between Omega-3 and Omega-3 Plus?

Omega-3 Plus has the same foundation as our Omega-3: 250 mg DHA and 125 mg EPA from algae per daily dose. On top of that, we add two things: 1.5 mg natural astaxanthin, which protects the oil against oxidation, and phospholipids, which help with the absorption of omega-3. Think of Omega-3 Plus as your daily omega-3, upgraded.

Why choose Omega-3 Plus instead of Omega-3 and astaxanthin separately?

Our standalone Omega-3 is perfect for your daily omega-3. Our standalone Astaxanthin is meant for people who deliberately want a high dose. Omega-3 Plus sits in between: your daily omega-3, with a lower dose of astaxanthin and added phospholipids. Handy if you want to upgrade your omega-3 in a single product.

What does the astaxanthin in Omega-3 Plus do?

Astaxanthin is a deep red pigment from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. Omega-3 fatty acids are sensitive to oxidation, and astaxanthin protects the oil against it. That keeps your omega-3 fresh.

What are phospholipids and why are they included?

Phospholipids are fat-like substances found naturally in every cell. Omega-3 Plus contains phosphatidylcholine, among others. Phospholipids help with the absorption of omega-3 in the body. It is also the form in which omega-3 occurs in krill oil.

Is Omega-3 Plus an alternative to fish or krill oil?

Yes. Fish oil only provides omega-3. Krill oil provides omega-3 with astaxanthin and phospholipids. Omega-3 Plus combines it all, but 100% plant-based. Fish and krill don't make their own omega-3 and astaxanthin, they get it from algae. We go straight to the source, grown on land.

I already take astaxanthin. Can I stop?

That depends on what you're looking for. Omega-3 Plus contains a lower dose of astaxanthin, as an addition to your omega-3. Our standalone Astaxanthin has a high dose. If you deliberately take astaxanthin at a higher dose, Omega-3 Plus is not a replacement for the standalone supplement.

What is the daily dose?

We recommend 2 softgels per day, with or just after a meal. Together they provide 250 mg DHA, 125 mg EPA and 1.5 mg astaxanthin. It takes two softgels because, besides the omega-3, the astaxanthin and phospholipids need to fit in too.

What does omega-3 do for your body?

EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA and DHA. DHA also contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision, with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA.

Is Omega-3 Plus free from allergens?

Yes, Omega-3 Plus is free from allergens. It contains no fish, shellfish or other animal ingredients.

Is Omega-3 Plus safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Please consult your GP or a healthcare professional before using Omega-3 Plus during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Can I give Omega-3 Plus to my child?

We recommend Omega-3 Plus from the age of 14. If you want to give it to a child under 14, please consult your GP first.

What are the ingredients of Omega-3 Plus?

Oil from the microalga Schizochytrium sp., sunflower oil, rosemary extract, tocopherol-rich extract, ascorbyl palmitate, lecithin, astaxanthin-rich oleoresin from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. Capsule: SeaGel (hydroxypropyl starch, glycerol, carrageenan, sorbitol, purified water).

  • Oil from Schizochytrium sp.: the source of DHA and EPA.
  • Oleoresin from Haematococcus pluvialis: the source of astaxanthin.
  • Lecithin: provides the phospholipids, including phosphatidylcholine.
  • Sunflower oil: carrier oil.
  • Rosemary extract, tocopherol-rich extract and ascorbyl palmitate: natural antioxidants that protect the oil against oxidation.
  • SeaGel: the plant-based softgel itself.

Does Omega-3 Plus have side effects?

Omega-3 is generally well tolerated. Some people experience mild stomach or bowel complaints at higher doses, such as bloating or burping. That's why we recommend taking Omega-3 Plus with or after a meal.
