Now also vegan: vitamin D3 + omega-3 – the key nutrients for wellbeing
Omega 3 + D3/K2 capsules from Unimedica comprehensively support the body through essential omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins. These micronutrients contribute to normal heart function, maintain bones and teeth, and support muscle function as well as the immune system. These special omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) as well as vitamin D are normally extracted from marine animals. We have now managed to create a vegan formulation with these valuable nutrients. The microalgae Schizochytrium sp. plays a decisive role, as does the plant-based gelatine, which reliably protects the valuable ingredients.

These “triple” capsules pack a real punch
Our carefully formulated capsules support heart, bones, muscles and immune system in a number of different ways. By maintaining heart function (omega-3 fatty acids) and mobilising the body’s defences (vitamin D3) as well as protecting the cells (vitamin E), they help the body to function normally. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) additionally helps the eyes to maintain normal eyesight.

The perfect combination for good bioavailability of all ingredients
Omega-3 fatty acids are provided in the form of DHA and EPA so the body can use them directly. In addition the combination of fats and vitamin K2 with vitamin D3 ensures optimal nutrient absorption. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) ensures that the absorbed calcium – thanks to vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) – can be properly utilised by the body.

Various foods also contain these nutrients
These essential nutrients are also found in various foods: vitamin D3 in fish and eggs, vitamin K2 in fermented foods such as natto, vitamin E in nuts and seeds, and omega-3 fatty acids in fatty fish and certain algae. Vitamin D is produced by the body in small amounts. But in our latitudes there is often not enough sunlight for this.

Why vegan omega 3 + D3/K2 capsules from Unimedica are a sensible supplement
Our capsules provide a practical and efficient alternative to absorb these important nutrients, especially if it is hard to achieve a balanced diet or there is increased need during demanding periods of life. To have all these essential nutrients available in sufficient amounts, a balanced mixed diet and a lot of sun on the skin is necessary, and you would need to eat large amounts of foods with these nutrients. The soft capsules contain a standardised amount of these nutrients and are easy to take at any time that suits you.

What exactly are the microalgae Schizochytrium sp.?
Schizochytrium sp. are small algae that grow in the mangrove forests along tropical coasts. Their nutrition comes from simple organic substances such as dead leaves and they require no sunlight. A particular characteristic of these algae is their ability to produce generous amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, especially  EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). These fatty acids are directly available to the human body and play a key role in our nutrition.

Vegan and sustainably produced
Omega-3 is normally extracted from fish and krill but the oil extracted from Schizochytrium is a pure plant-based alternative, especially good for vegan nutrition. For the sustainable production of EPA and DHA, the algae are grown in large tanks in artificial conditions simi-lar to those found in natural seawater. This process protects the ocean environment and its inhabitants since it does not impact the natural fish and krill stocks. The algae are grown in strictly environmentally friendly conditions.

Action spectrum*
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) contribute to normal function of the heart with a daily intake of 250 mg.

DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) also contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and of normal vision with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA.

Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) contributes to normal absorption/utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, normal blood calcium levels, maintenance of normal bones and teeth, maintenance of normal muscle function, normal functioning of the immune system and has a role in the process of cell division.

Vitamin K (menachinon) contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of nor-mal bones.

Vitamin E (tocopherols) contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
