Omega 3 Tropfen Kids Orange 30 ml

The Omega 3 Kids Orange Drops from InnoNature contain plant-based omega-3 oil from the microalga Schizochytrium sp. and were developed for children aged 4 and over. They provide the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) directly from algae oil - without fish oil or other animal-based ingredients.

• DHA (docosahexaenoic acid): Long-chain, polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid with 22 carbon atoms and six double bonds.
• EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid): Also a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid that differs from DHA in its molecular structure.
• Omega-3 from microalgae: Contains DHA and EPA directly from algae oil, without animal-based raw materials.

While plant-based foods such as flaxseeds, chia seeds and walnuts mainly contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), certain microalgae provide the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. Fish also obtain these fatty acids through the marine food chain. The algae oil used therefore offers a vegan alternative to fish oil and is particularly suitable for families who wish to avoid animal-based sources of omega-3.

• Plant-based source: Omega-3 algae oil from Schizochytrium sp., without fish oil.
• Omega-3 content: At least 170 mg DHA and 24.6 mg EPA per daily serving.
• Flavour: Mild and fruity with orange oil, without added sugar or artificial flavours.
• Formula: 89.8% algae oil, supplemented with sunflower oil, orange oil and tocopherols.
• Usage: For children aged 4 and over, take 12 drops daily, diluted in a liquid.
• Quality: Vegan, without artificial colourings or preservatives.

Active Ingredients & Classification

• DHA (docosahexaenoic acid): DHA is a long-chain, polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid with 22 carbon atoms and six double bonds. Its structure differs from that of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which also belongs to the omega-3 fatty acids. In the Omega 3 Kids Drops, DHA comes from the microalga Schizochytrium sp.
• EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid): EPA is one of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids and has 20 carbon atoms and five double bonds. Together with DHA, it forms the omega-3 component of the drops. The formula contains a higher proportion of DHA than EPA.
• Algae oil from Schizochytrium sp. - Plant-based omega-3 oil: Certain microalgae naturally produce DHA and EPA. These fatty acids also enter fish through the food chain, which is why oily marine fish are among the best-known sources of omega-3. The algae oil used provides the fatty acids directly from their original source. It accounts for 89.8% of the formula and provides a fully vegan alternative to fish oil.
• Orange oil - Natural flavour: With 2.7% orange oil, the formula has a fruity citrus note that rounds off the characteristic flavour of the algae oil. The orange oil is primarily used to refine the flavour and makes it easier to incorporate the drops into drinks or cold foods.
• Sunflower oil & tocopherols - Formula ingredients: Sunflower oil complements the oil base. Tocopherols, which include various forms of vitamin E, are used as antioxidants. They help protect the sensitive unsaturated fatty acids in the formula from oxidation.

Usage

• Measure out 12 drops daily using the pipette.
• Consume diluted in water, juice or another drink. Alternatively, stir into cold foods such as yoghurt, fruit purée, smoothies or muesli.
• Preferably consume together with a meal.
• Shake well before use.
• Recommended for children aged 4 and over.
• Store in a cool, dry place protected from light. After opening, store in the refrigerator and use within a few weeks.

Important information: Do not exceed the stated recommended daily intake. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of young children.

FAQ

What is the difference between DHA, EPA and ALA?

All three belong to the omega-3 fatty acids, but they differ in their molecular structure. ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) is found mainly in plant-based foods such as flaxseeds, chia seeds and walnuts. DHA and EPA, on the other hand, are long-chain omega-3 fatty acids found, for example, in certain microalgae and oily marine fish.

Why is algae oil used instead of fish oil?

Microalgae are an original source of DHA and EPA in marine food chains. The oil from Schizochytrium sp. provides these fatty acids directly from algae, offering a vegan alternative to fish oil.

How much DHA and EPA do the drops contain?

The recommended daily serving of 12 drops contains at least 170 mg DHA and 24.6 mg EPA. No general nutrient reference values (NRVs) have been established for these two fatty acids.

At what age are the Omega 3 Kids Drops suitable?

The product is recommended for children aged 4 and over. The intended daily serving is 12 drops. For younger children or questions about individual dosage, consult a doctor.

What do the omega-3 drops taste like?

The orange oil gives the drops a fruity citrus note and rounds off the natural flavour of the algae oil. The formula contains no added sugar or artificial flavours.

Can the drops be mixed into foods and drinks?

Yes. For example, they can be combined with juice, smoothies, fruit purée or muesli. Use cold foods and drinks wherever possible and add the drops immediately before consumption.

Are the Omega 3 Kids Drops vegan?

Yes. DHA and EPA come from microalgae rather than fish oil. The other ingredients in the formula are also not of animal origin.

How should the drops be stored?

Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dry place protected from light. After opening, keep it in the refrigerator. Close the bottle carefully after each use and consume the contents within a few weeks.
