Essentials Omega 3-D3-K2

In the meantime, you can purchase a variety of vegan dietary supplements. However, there are some nutrients that are particularly important for supplementation due to insufficient intake through a vegan diet or other factors. Foremost among these are the supply of omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, as well as vitamins D3 and K2.

To help you easily meet your daily requirement for these nutrients as a vegan, we have now developed a vegan alternative to our popular ESSENTIALS O3-D3-K2. Our VEGAN ESSENTIALS provide you with a precisely coordinated dosage of high-quality nutrients.

What’s in one capsule of VEGAN ESSENTIALS:

• 720 mcg algae oil (of which: 216 mg DHA and 108 mg EPA)
• 50 mcg Vitamin K2 MK-7
• 25 mcg Vitamin D3 from plant sources (lichens)
• Without preservatives
• Ideal for daily intake
  
  
  

How our VEGAN ESSENTIALS work

Vitamins D, K2, and the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are nutrients that should be monitored not only by those living a vegan lifestyle. It is not always easy to cover the supply of these nutrients through everyday nutrition. Additionally, increased physical activity or malnutrition can raise the demand.

Our VEGAN ESSENTIALS safely and easily supplement your diet with the important vitamins D3 and K2, as well as the omega-3 fats DHA and EPA.

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. This means that, unlike water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed together with fats. If you take Vitamin D alongside fatty foods, you can enhance absorption.

Under optimal conditions, the coverage of Vitamin D3 through the body's own production via UVB light exposure is ensured. However, UVB radiation in our latitudes is only high enough between spring and summer to produce sufficient Vitamin D. Additionally, one would need to soak up UVB radiation daily with uncovered skin and without sunscreen during this period. While there are foods that contain Vitamin D, they are only present in small amounts.

The results of the National Consumption Study II (NVS II) show that large parts of the German population have an insufficient intake of Vitamin D. According to NVS II, over 90% of women and over 80% of men did not reach the minimum intake recommended by the German Nutrition Society (DGE).¹ The DGE recommends a daily intake of at least 20 µg for adults in the absence of self-production of Vitamin D.² The maximum daily amount considered safe for lifelong supplementation, in addition to UVB radiation, has been set by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) at 100 µg/day.³

If you do not produce enough Vitamin D3 yourself, you can prevent a Vitamin deficiency through supplementation. The Vitamin D in our VEGAN ESSENTIALS is of plant origin and is 100% derived from lichens. Just two capsules containing 25 µg of Vitamin D3 each per day easily and safely cover your needs.

Vitamin D and Vitamin K are particularly important for a healthy skeleton, as both contribute to the maintenance of normal bones – a fact that was reaffirmed by a study in 2020.⁴ Furthermore, Vitamin D plays a role in cell division and contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus. In addition, it contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function and normal teeth.

Vitamin K2

We primarily know Vitamin K in two forms: as Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) and as Vitamin K2 (menaquinone). Vitamin K is also fat-soluble and is found in its K1 form in many plant foods such as cabbage or leafy greens. Vitamin K2, on the other hand, is produced bacterially and is therefore mainly found in animal foods such as milk or meat, but also in fermented (plant-based) foods.

Vitamin K mainly contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones and should therefore be supplemented in cases of insufficient dietary intake.

According to the DGE, the daily requirement for Vitamin K for adults varies by age and gender, ranging from 50 µg to 80 µg.⁵ Due to a lack of data, there is currently no upper limit for Vitamin K2. However, studies show, according to EFSA, no evidence of harmful health effects associated with an additional intake of Vitamin K in the form of phylloquinone of up to 10 mg/day.⁶ The Expert Group on Vitamins and Minerals (EVM) has set a guideline for a safe total daily intake for additional intake from dietary supplements for adults at up to 1,000 µg.⁷

In our VEGAN ESSENTIALS, we of course rely on the patented micro-encapsulated all-trans Vitamin K2-MK7 from Kappa Bioscience. This is a very stable form of Vitamin K2 with high bioavailability. Unprotected, Vitamin K2 – and especially the highly bioavailable form of K2-MK7 – can be degraded in certain formulations with other substances or under certain conditions. For this reason, we only use micro-encapsulated Vitamin K2-MK7. This way, you are truly provided with the amount we state on the label. The compound we use in our VEGAN ESSENTIALS can be particularly well utilised. The recommended intake of 2 capsules per day contains an appropriate dose of 50 μg of Vitamin K2.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Fatty acids play an important role as energy carriers in our metabolism. Omega-3 fatty acids are particularly essential in this context. Since the human body cannot produce them on its own, the intake of omega-3 fatty acids must be secured through food.

The most important omega-3 fatty acids include:

• Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)
• Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
• Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)

The two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA can only be formed by our body in very small amounts from plant-based ALA, which is found in flaxseed oil, for example.⁸ For this reason, an additional intake of EPA and DHA for adequate coverage of fatty acids is recommended even by the largest cardiological societies in Europe and the USA, the European Society of Cardiology and the American Heart Association.

Omega-3 fatty acids not only influence our cell membrane as components but are also precursors to some hormones and other substances in the body. Additionally, DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision – an effect that is observed with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA. Furthermore, DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function from an intake of 250 mg of DHA. Both EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function. This effect occurs with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA/DHA.

A serving of our VEGAN ESSENTIALS (2 capsules per day) contains 1440 µg of pure plant-based algae oil, providing 432 mg of DHA and 216 mg of EPA, so that the absorbed omega-3 fatty acids can fully unfold their effect.

What distinguishes our VEGAN ESSENTIALS from other active ingredient complexes?

As with all our products, we place particular emphasis on a well-founded combination of active ingredients and high-quality raw materials in our VEGAN ESSENTIALS. Our preparation combines Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2, and the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA – so you don’t have to buy each active ingredient separately and consider the respective dosage ratios.

A pack of VEGAN ESSENTIALS contains 80 capsules in an ideal composition. The purely plant-based softgel capsules made from starch are easy to swallow and make the supply of important nutrients a breeze.

We regularly have our products analysed in the laboratory. This way, you can be sure that all our ingredients are microbiologically pure and that what is on the label is actually contained. We adhere to the highest quality standards: Unlike other manufacturers, we have our ingredients tested not just once, but regularly by independent certified testing laboratories.
