BrainMax Fish Oil & Astaxanthin, Super Omega 3, 3000 mg DHA and EPA, 275 ml

The purest fish oil VivoMega® from Norway

The fish oil in this product comes from a premium source, VivoMega®. Thanks to the advanced molecular distillation process , it meets the strictest quality standards. The oil has the ideal ratio of omega 3 fatty acids DHA 2.5:1 EPA for normal brain function 1. It is processed into a natural triglyceride form, which ensures up to 70% better absorbability compared to conventional ethyl esters. Thanks to the extremely low oxidation index (TOTOX = 5), excellent freshness and stability of the oil without an unpleasant aftertaste is guaranteed.

Why supplement with fish oil?

Omega 3 fatty acids DHA and EPA are essential for the proper functioning of the body, but the body cannot produce them in sufficient quantities. Regular fish oil supplementation is therefore key to maintaining normal brain function, where DHA forms the basic building block of neurons. DHA also contributes to vision protection by being the main component of the retina of the eye. Together with EPA, they help maintain normal triglyceride levels and blood pressure, which is essential for the function of the cardiovascular system. In addition, DHA and EPA support normal heart function, thereby contributing to the overall health of the circulatory system.

The balance between omega 3 and omega 6 is key

The proper function of cell membranes depends on a balanced ratio of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. Cell membranes must be sufficiently permeable to allow nutrients to pass in and waste products to pass out. The ideal ratio of these essential fats in the body should be below 1:5, optimally 1:3, but in Europe it is commonly up to 1:15, which disrupts proper cellular processes. Today, the intake of omega 6 fatty acids is often excessive, requiring an increased intake of omega 3 to maintain balance.

The highest standards of purity and quality

VivoMega® continually pushes the boundaries of quality and purity, boasting the lowest environmental toxin limits in the world, far lower than any other industry standard. Thanks to advanced thin-film technology, the oil achieves extremely low oxidation (TOTOX = 5). Since 2015, the final oxidation values are 75% lower than the IFOS 5-star standard and 80% lower than the GOED monograph, which places VivoMega® among the absolute top in the field of omega 3 oils. Each dose provides maximum health benefits without compromising purity or taste.

Sustainable production with minimal environmental impact

VivoMega® is committed to ecologically and responsibly producing fish oil, offering full transparency and traceability from the initial catch to the finished product. Instead of catching fish exclusively for oil production, it uses by-products from the food industry, eliminating unnecessary waste and reducing its ecological footprint. Thanks to advanced processing technology, the use of raw materials is maximized and the creation of unwanted waste substances is minimized. Additionally, as part of a sustainable cycle, VivoMega® uses biofuel generated during oil production, reducing the need for external energy sources. The remaining by-products are further used in aquaculture and the food industry, contributing to a closed and environmentally efficient production process.

Astaxanthin under scientific scrutiny

Astaxanthin has been the subject of several studies investigating its potential health benefits.

Antioxidant shield for maximum omega-3 stability

Thanks to the synergistic combination of BIO olive oil, vitamin E and BIO astaxanthin, the fish oil in this product is highly stable and protected from oxidation. Vitamin E and polyphenols from olive oil act as the first line of defense, neutralizing free radicals and preventing fatty acid peroxidation. Astaxanthin, as one of the most powerful natural carotenoids, provides long-term protection not only to the oil itself, but also to omega 3 acids after they are absorbed into the body. This multi-level protection extends the freshness of the product, minimizes oxidation processes and ensures maximum effectiveness of omega 3 fatty acids when used in the body.

Patented Vitamin K2

We used vitamin K2 as MK-7 as a patented form from the Norwegian brand K2VITAL®DELTA. This is the most absorbable form of vitamin K2. Of all the vitamin K, it has the longest half-life, meaning it stays in the body for up to 72 hours! It is protected by a spherical shell and is therefore sufficiently protected both during production and in the gastrointestinal tract. This helps it maintain high stability even at high temperatures. Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones.

Synergistic combination of vitamins D3 & K2

Vitamin D3 contributes to the normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, thereby supporting healthy blood calcium levels and contributing to the maintenance of normal bones, muscles and teeth. It also participates in the function of the immune system and the process of cell division. Vitamin K2 plays a key role in normal blood clotting and contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. Thanks to their joint action, calcium is effectively used in the body and they contribute to the proper functioning of the bone and immune system.
