Omega 3 rich in EPA

Although the ideal way to take Vegan Omega 3+ is with the whole capsule, we understand that some people may have difficulty swallowing them. In these cases, it is possible to "pop" the capsule and easily dilute its contents in food or drink. Please note that the contents may have a slight lemon aroma, which could subtly influence the flavor of the food where it is diluted. This option ensures you can continue to benefit from Omega-3 fatty acids every day without needing to swallow the capsule.

The heart that carries the omega 3 inside, is not eaten, serves to mask and enhance strong odors in the product, significantly outperforms flavored ingredients and coatings, extends shelf life with a long lasting and stable aroma, makes the capsules smell and taste great, is made with natural flavors, is FDA compliant and organic, non-GMO, vegan, and certified kosher and halal.

No. And for a logical reason: IFOS means International FISH Oil Standards, an exclusive standard for products made from fish oil.

Therefore, a vegan supplement like ours, derived from algal oil, cannot—and should not—bear that seal, as it is specifically designed to validate marine-derived oils.

Both algae oil and fish oil are excellent sources of Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), but they come from different origins and each has its own advantages.

Algae are the original source of these Omega-3s, which is why the vegan supplement directly obtains EPA and DHA without going through the fish "intermediary." This makes it a 100% plant-based option, suitable for people who do not consume animal products and with a reduced environmental impact.

Fish oil, on the other hand, naturally concentrates EPA and DHA thanks to the fish's diet of algae and plankton. Its advantage is that, in general, it offers higher amounts of these fatty acids, making it the ideal option when seeking a higher intake of these nutrients.

In summary, both are high-quality Omega-3 oils and serve the same purpose: to ensure an adequate intake of EPA and DHA. The choice depends on your personal preferences, your diet, and what best suits you.

All our Omega 3 products are part of GOED (Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3s) The  only international organization dedicated exclusively to ensuring that its members meet the highest quality standards in the omega-3 fatty acid market. Both IVB Wellness Lab and the raw materials we use are members of GOED.

Our Omega 3 products made from fish oil are certified by  IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) This certification guarantees the practical absence of heavy metals (mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and lead), dioxins, furans, and PCBs. Furthermore, it ensures that the oil is not oxidized and that the actual EPA and DHA content matches what is declared on the product label.

Our Vegan Omega 3, made from Schizochytrium sp. microalgae oil, is certified by IAOS (International Algal Oil Standards). This  independent certification guarantees that the microalgae omega-3 oils have passed rigorous quality, traceability, and sustainability controls, avoiding contamination with heavy metals or compounds such as PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls).

Likewise,  in all our Omega 3 products, we use  omega-3 oils from Solutex®, a leading company in innovation and quality that meets the most demanding international standards.

 Safe raw materials free from TSE risks

Our omega-3s do not contain animal fats or by-products derived from bovine, ovine, caprine, or human blood. Only fish and microalgae are used as raw materials. The fish used do not belong to species considered at risk for transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE), according to European legislation (OJEU 2011/C 73/01 and European Pharmacopoeia 5.2.8).

 Rigorous control of contaminants and oxidation

The omega-3 oil (both from algae and fish) is produced under strict safety limits to control oxidation, complying with the European Pharmacopoeia  and EU Regulation 2023/915, ensuring that heavy metals, dioxins, PCBs, 3-MCPD and its esters, glycidyl esters, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and nitrates are below detection limits.

 Pesticide-free

All our oils have been analyzed for the detection of pesticides. The results confirm a total absence within the limits established by the European Pharmacopoeia.

 Compliance with limits for PCBs and phthalates

PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) are industrial compounds that persist in the environment, and their exhaustive control is essential to ensure maximum food safety.

For this reason, our EPA and DHA-rich oils meet the strictest limits for PCB elimination, ensuring unparalleled purity.

Finally, no phthalates are used in the manufacturing process of our omega-3s, neither as a raw material, nor as an ingredient, nor as an auxiliary material to stabilize the product.

On the label of our supplements you will see the quantity oftotal oil(small blue fish or microalgae) and, within it, the amount oftotal omega-3.

Example: in theOmega 3 rich in EPA→ 2000 mg of fish oil and 1500 mg of omega-3.

This is because the oil containsother natural lipids(monounsaturated fats and other non-omega-3 fatty acids) that are part of its original profile. In the case of Solutex®, the oil is concentrated so that a high percentage is omega-3, but the remainder is healthy fats that contribute to the product's stability and natural composition.

This is completely normal and occurs with all of our omega-3s.

In addition toEPAandDHA, the oil contains otherminority omega-3snaturally occurring, such as:DPA(docosapentaenoic acid, 22:5 n-3) and other long-chain omega-3 acids:such as fatty acids 24:5 n-3and24:6 n-3.

These fatty acids, although less well-known, also provide benefits and complete the oil's natural profile. Therefore, the total omega-3 content is always slightly higher than the sum of EPA and DHA.
