A sustainable production of VABO-N OH!MEGA and the avoidance of overfishing is very close to our hearts! Therefore, our omega-3 product OH!MEGA is also tested and certified according to the strict standards of the Friend of the Sea certificate, which guarantees sustainable and stock-preserving fisheries and the protection of the seabed and marine diversity. In addition, VABO-N omega-3 fatty acids product is also purified from any harmful substances.

The fish oil contained in VABO-N OH!MEGA is purified from any environmental pollutants, PCBs and heavy metals. Through an innovative and unique purification process, not only are the legally required standards far exceeded, but also those of the IFOS* 5-star rating and the demanding self-imposed targets of the GOED (Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3 Fatty Acids), as can be easily seen from the table. Thus, contamination of the product is excluded.

More information

To perceive the positive effect of VABO-N OH!MEGA, your diet plan should include at least 1 jelly a day for a long period of time and at least 4 months.

Why 4 months?
120 days is the average life span of erythrocytes. Erythrocytes take up EPA and DHA from their environment during new cell formation. This means that only after 120 days the erythrocytes are completely renewed and an effect is noticeable.

VABO-N OH!MEGA is a super tasty, high-dose omega-3 product with a total of 600 mg omega-3 fatty acids, including 362 mg DHA and 148 mg EPA – with no aftertaste and no unpleasant belching – thanks to patented and 100% natural technology! And all without sugar! Kids love it too!

Our Omega-3 product consists of a fish oil concentrate with 90% triglycerides. In this natural form, studies show that omega-3 fatty acids are up to 400% more bioavailable than in commercial ethyl ester fish oil concentrates, which contain no triglycerides and are therefore less easily absorbed by the body. In addition, omega-3 jellies are 44% more bioavailable compared to sogel capsules.

Common triglyceride oils available on the market usually have a triglyceride content of 50%-60%. However, with VABO-N OH!MEGA we decided that we wanted more and finally achieved a triglyceride content of 90%, which makes our omega-3 product much more bioavailable compared to the usual preparations! VABO-N OH!MEGA has thus assumed a worldwide pioneering role in this field.

In VABO-N OH!MEGA, fish oil concentrate is used because, unlike conventional fish oil, this is the only way to achieve the high concentration of 362 mg DHA and 148 mg EPA in one jelly.

In their natural form, oils consist of triglycerides. In addition to the re-esterified concentrate in triglyceride form contained in VABO-N OH!MEGA, which is obtained by innovative molecular distillation processes, there is also the conventional fish oil and the cheap, less bioavailable ethyl ester concentrate.

The re-esterification step in the production of VABO-N OH!MEGA oil concentrate is more expensive and time-consuming than leaving it at ethyl ester concentrate, but it is worth it because:

1) Triglyceride fish oil concentrates are up to 400% more bioavailable than ethyl ester fish oil concentrates, meaning a much larger portion of the EPA and DHA contained in the triglyceride fish oil concentrate can be absorbed and used by the body.

2) Triglyceride fish oil concentrate oxidizes much slower than ethyl ester fish oil concentrates! What does that mean? Oxidation means that a molecule chemically decomposes and thus becomes unusable in the case of dietary supplements. Various studies show that ethyl ester fish oil concentrates oxidize faster than triglyceride fish oil concentrates at any temperature – so they last significantly longer than ethyl ester fish oil concentrates.

3) Triglyceride fish oil concentrate is significantly more efficient at lowering circulating blood lipid levels than ethyl ester fish oil concentrate. This is because the unnatural chemical compound of ethyl esters must be decomposed in a different way. First, the enzymes must break the bonds between ethanol & the fatty acids in the EE concentrate and then attach to glycerol to form triglycerides, which can then be better absorbed by the body.

Our fish oil concentrate comes from small fish from different regions to avoid overfishing with guaranteed sustainable and strictly regulated fishing – tested according to the strict standards of the Friend of the Sea certificate!

Overall, 90% of the fish caught come from Peru, with the other 10% fished in other waters for sustainability.

The traceable fish catch is processed into raw material directly on site at the vessel under EU hygiene regulations and cleaned of contaminants such as heavy metals. For VABO-N OH!MEGA, the good, meaty parts are used, and the leftovers then go into further processing.

After raw material extraction, the fish oil is shipped for further processing to produce the final product, i.e. VABO-N OH!MEGA.

VABO-N OH!MEGA is not derived from algae oil because this would not have allowed the high concentration of 362 mg DHA and 148 mg EPA that our product has. In addition, algae oil contains very low or no EPA content. Another factor why we decided against an algae oil product is the very intense flavor of the algae oil, which would have been a problem in manufacturing.

VABO-N OH!MEGA convinces through

• a very high omega-3 fatty acid content of 600 mg per jelly, including 362 mg DHA and 148 mg EPA
• a patented natural technology that allows the jellies to have NO FISH TASTE and cause NO PUSHING and INCREASE BIOAVAILABILITY BY 44% over softgels
• a much higher bioavailability than conventional fish oil concentrate products, as our fish oil concentrate consists of 90% triglycerides. In this natural form, omega-3 fatty acids are up to 400% more bioavailable than in commercial ethyl ester (EE) fish oil concentrates and 44% more bioavailable than softgels, according to studies.

Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood.
After you eat something, the body converts the calories that aren’t needed into triglycerides and stores them in fat cells to use for energy later. However, too many triglycerides in the blood can increase the risk of heart disease.

Omega-3 fatty acids, provided to the body in the triglyceride form, help the body lower blood lipid levels by reducing the production of lipoproteins in the liver and helping to eliminate them from the blood more quickly. This process reduces blood lipid levels, reduces inflammation in blood vessels and prevents cardiovascular disease.

In the case of omega-3 oils, triglyceride is only the form of the fatty acid molecules so that EPA and DHA are better absorbed by the body and in this case – the higher the bioavailability, the better and faster omega-3 is accepted by the body.

The re-esterification step in the production of VABO-N OH!MEGA is more expensive and time-consuming than leaving it in ethyl ester concentrate, but it is worth it because it means that the fish oil concentrate contained in VABO-N OH!MEGA consists of 90% triglycerides and, according to studies, is thus 400% more bioavailable than the commercially available ethyl ester fish oil concentrates!

VABO-N ESSENTIALS & FIERCE serve as a comprehensive supply of all important nutrients, vitamins and minerals and, among other things, strengthen the immune system and provide energy for the day. VABO-N APEX is an all-rounder when it comes to muscle building, weight loss or joints.

Until now, it has not been possible to incorporate omega-3 in a taste-neutral way into existing products because the fatty acid has a very special fishy taste and this would have severely impaired the taste experience of VABO-N ESSENTIALS, FIERCE and APEX. Moreover, it is difficult to keep omega-3 fatty acids stable – especially in liquids.

Therefore, we decided to develop a new nutritional supplement. With VABO-N OH!MEGA, there is now a product on the market that optimally supplies the body with the most important omega-3 fatty acids, tastes deliciously fruity and supports your health in addition to VABO-N ESSENTIAS, FIERCE and APEX.

Omega-3 fatty acids belong to the essential fatty acids in the group of polyunsaturated fatty acids. This means that the body cannot produce omega-3 itself and must therefore absorb the fatty acids through food.

Omega-3 is the general name for a group of different fatty acids, including EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). Studies show that the two omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA have proven effects on health. However, EPA and DHA are mainly found in fatty fish and algae oil, whereas ALA is found in some plant foods such as flax oil, flaxseed or wild rice.

Omega-3 fatty acids exert numerous health-promoting effects in the body, such as supporting heart and brain function and vision, contributing to the maintenance of normal blood pressure, and contributing to normal blood lipid levels. They also support the normal development of the eyes and brain in the fetus and breastfed infant during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

The WHO, EFSA and the German Nutrition Society recommend a minimum daily intake of 250 mg DHA and EPA – which means 1 jelly/per day.

In one VABO-N OH!MEGA Jelly there are 600 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, of which 362 mg are DHA and 148 mg EPA, to guarantee the positive effects of both omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-3 is the general name for a group of different fatty acids. Studies show that EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) & DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) have been proven to have the most positive proven effects on health.

Approximately 30% of the structural fats in the brain consist of DHA. This is why DHA is so important for brain activity and thinking performance, learning ability and reaction time, and many other neurological processes that affect mental performance.

DHA is also an important component of the retina, where it supports the ability to see light and dark, among other things. It is therefore obvious how important a sufficient supply of docosahexaenoic acid is for our vision.

EPA is especially important because it supports our heart function, regulates blood pressure and contributes to normal blood lipid levels.

Overall, docosahexaenoic acid is thought to have more health effects than eicosapentaenoic acid, which is why VABO-N OH!MEGA contains more than twice the amount of DHA than EPA.

For our health, it is not only the amount of omega-3 per se that we consume daily in our diet that is crucial, but above all the right ratio between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids – because only then can both fatty acids optimally develop their mode of action in the body.

Omega-6 fatty acids in the body act as components of cell membranes and are needed for growth and repair processes and promote the development of inflammation as part of the immune response. This can be particularly helpful in the case of infections. This is because the development of inflammation there can help ward off dangerous pathogens. Another effect of omega-6 fatty acids is an increased tendency of the blood to clot and a constriction of the vessels. This is particularly advantageous in the case of more severe injuries. This is because the faster the vessels constrict and the faster the platelets clump together, the less blood the body loses.

Omega-6 fatty acids are thus the natural counterpart to omega-3 fatty acids, which inhibit inflammatory processes, dilate the vessels and reduce the viscosity of the blood so that it can glide through the vessels better and does not already clump together in the vessels. A balanced ratio between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the body is therefore of high importance for health.

However, the industrialization of food caused the proportion of omega-6 fatty acids in our daily diet to increase. Since both fatty acids share the same metabolic processes, an increasing imbalance in intake between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids was the result.

Instead of the ideal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of 3:1 to a maximum of 5:1, today the actual ratio of a European averages 12:1.

We recommend VABO-N OH!MEGA always once a day with meals – times of day independent.

It is important not to take VABO-N OH!MEGA on an empty stomach, because the bioavailability of omega-3 fatty acids is significantly increased in combination with fat.

It is best to take VABO-N OH!MEGA with or after a meal, as omega-3 fatty acids are better absorbed and utilized by the body – the bioavailability is thus significantly increased.

Yes, taking a normal daily dose (1 jelly) of VABO-N OH!MEGA for children is even advisable, as it promotes normal brain development and vision, among other things. The advantage of VABO-N OH!MEGA over other conventional omega-3 products: It’s omega-3 that tastes good to kids! The delicious fruity jellies are super easy to ingest and are snacked on by children as if they were candy.

Omega-3 fatty acids are important for brain development and vision in the fetus and breastfed infant. Studies show that the baby’s brain develops better if the mother consumes enough omega-3 during pregnancy.

And also EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) has confirmed the following beneficial effects of DHA and EPA in pregnant and breastfeeding women: Intake of 200 mg DHA – in addition to the recommended daily intake of 250 mg DHA + EPA for adults – contributes to normal eye and brain development in the fetus and breastfed infant.

Since one VABO-N OH!MEGA Jelly contains 600 mg omega-3, of which 510 mg EPA + DHA, this is also sufficiently covered by one jelly.

No, side effects are not known.

Up to the maximum daily dosage of 5 g DHA and EPA recommended by EFSA, no overdose can occur.

If an overdose does occur, a weakened immune system and thinning of the blood may be possible side effects.

VABO-N OH!MEGA should be stored at 5-25° until the expiration date.

Due to the unique technology used in the production of VABO-N OH!MEGA , the oxidation levels of our concentrate are more than half below the limits set by GOED (Global Organization for EPA & DHA Omega-3 Fatty Acids). This also makes our concentrate particularly neutral in taste and less prone to oxidation.

Yes, VABO-N OH!MEGA is certified with the Friend of the Sea seal because the sustainability of our products is very important to us.

Omega-3 levels can be measured directly at the family doctor’s office by means of a blood test, which is subsequently evaluated in the laboratory. After the blood analysis is completed, information about the omega-3 index and the omega-6 and omega-3 ratio is obtained and further steps can be discussed together with the doctor.

The cause of an omega-3 deficiency stems from not eating enough omega-3-containing foods in everyday life and instead eating too many omega-6-rich foods. Since both unsaturated fatty acids share a common metabolic process, the excess of omega-6 fatty acids ensures that only small amounts of omega-3 fatty acids can be absorbed.

A major reason for this is the industrialization of food, which has increased the proportion of omega-6 fatty acids in the daily diet and thus promoted an increasing imbalance in intake between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids.

For everyone!

Omega-3 fatty acids should be consumed in sufficient amounts by everyone to provide the many health benefits, such as supporting heart and brain function and vision, maintaining normal blood pressure, and contributing to normal blood lipid levels.

In addition, omega-3 during pregnancy or while breastfeeding also supports the normal development of the eyes and brain in the fetus and breastfed infant.

During sports, aggressive compounds are formed in the body that, together with strain-related injuries in the muscles, cause inflammation throughout the body. The consequences are a prolonged regeneration process and often the restriction of physical well-being, such as muscle pain.

Therefore, a high omega-3 intake, above the WHO specified value of 250 mg daily, is recommended for competitive athletes. VABO-N OH!MEGA more than covers this dosage. With a total of 600 mg omega-3 per jelly, including 362 mg DHA and 148 EPA, VABO-N OH!MEGA is optimal for any competitive athlete!

Omega-3 is found in the following foods, among others:

Vegetable oils and nuts & seeds have high ALA levels at first glance, however, DHA and EPA are the two omega-3 fatty acids that are most beneficial to our bodies. Our body can in principle convert ALA into EPA and this in turn into DHA, but it does so only to a very small extent. The conversion rate of ALA to EPA and DHA varies greatly from person to person and depends on various influencing factors (age, gender, metabolism, etc.). In the worst case, it is assumed that less than 10% is converted to EPA and only about 0.5% is converted to DHA. Since most vegetable oils are rich in omega-6 fatty acids, people consume large amounts of them. This blocks the conversion of alpha-linolenic acid into the more biologically active EPA. Therefore, the aforementioned omega-3-rich vegetable oils are not a reliable source for an adequate supply of biologically active omega-3 fatty acids, but are rather a supplement to fish.

Based on this, you can see that you would have to eat all of these foods in large quantities every day to adequately meet the minimum daily omega-3 requirement.

VABO-N OH!MEGA contains 600 mg of omega-3 in just one super tasty jelly, including 362 mg of DHA and 148 mg of EPA, far exceeding the WHO recommended minimum daily intake of 250 mg of DHA and EPA.
