oh!mega

Sustainable production of vabon oh!mega and the prevention of overfishing are very important to us! Therefore, our Omega-3 product vabon 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 fishing as well as the protection of the seabed and marine biodiversity. In addition, the vabon Omega-3 fatty acid product is also purified from any contaminants.

The fish oil contained in vabon oh!mega is purified from all 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 GOED (Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3 Fatty Acids), as can be clearly seen from the table. Thus, contamination of the product is excluded.

To experience the positive effects of vabon oh!mega, your diet plan should include at least 1 jelly daily for a longer period of time, at least 4 months.

Why 4 months?
120 days is the average lifespan of erythrocytes. Erythrocytes absorb EPA and DHA from their surroundings during cell regeneration. This means that only after 120 days are the erythrocytes completely renewed and an effect noticeable.

vabon 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 – without aftertaste and without unpleasant burping – 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, Omega-3 fatty acids are up to 400% more bioavailable according to studies than common ethyl ester fish oil concentrates on the market, which do not contain triglycerides and are therefore less well absorbed by the body. Additionally, the Omega-3 Jellys are 44% more bioavailable compared to softgel capsules.

Typical triglyceride oils available on the market usually have a triglyceride content of 50%-60%. However, with vabon oh!mega, we decided to aim higher and ultimately achieved a triglyceride content of 90%, which makes our Omega-3 product significantly more bioavailable compared to common preparations! This has established vabon oh!mega as a global pioneer in this field.

At vabon oh!mega, fish oil concentrate is used because, unlike conventional fish oil, only in this way can the high concentration of 362 mg DHA and 148 mg EPA be achieved in one jelly.

Oils naturally consist of triglycerides. In addition to the re-esterified concentrate in triglyceride form contained in vabon oh!mega, which is obtained through innovative molecular distillation processes, there is also conventional fish oil and the cheap, less bioavailable ethyl ester concentrate.

The re-esterification step in the production of the oil concentrate from vabon oh!mega is indeed more expensive and time-consuming than sticking with 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 significantly 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 more slowly than ethyl ester fish oil concentrates! What does that mean? Oxidation means that a molecule chemically breaks down and, in the case of dietary supplements, becomes unusable. Various studies show that ethyl ester fish oil concentrates oxidize faster at every temperature than triglyceride fish oil concentrates – 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 bond of the ethyl esters must be broken down differently. First, enzymes must break the bonds between ethanol and the fatty acids in the EE concentrate and then attach them 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, ensuring sustainable and strictly regulated fishing – certified according to the strict standards of the Friend of the Sea certificate!

In total, 90% of the caught fish come from Peru, while the other 10% are caught in other waters in the interest of sustainability.

The traceable fishing is processed directly on site on the ship under EU hygiene regulations into raw material and cleaned of contaminants such as heavy metals. For vabon oh!mega, the good, meaty parts are used, and the leftovers are then used for further processing.

After the raw material is obtained, the fish oil is shipped for further processing and processed into the final product, vabon oh!mega.

vabon oh!mega is not made from algae oil because the high concentration of 362 mg DHA and 148 mg EPA in our product would not have been possible. Additionally, algae oil contains a very low or no EPA content. Another reason we decided against an algae oil product is the very intense taste of algae oil, which would have posed a problem during production.

vabon oh!mega convinces with

• 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 ensures the jellies have no fishy taste and cause no burping, and INCREASES BIOAVAILABILITY by 44% compared to softgels
• a significantly 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 common 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 eating, the body converts unused calories into triglycerides and stores them in fat cells to use later for energy. However, too many triglycerides in the blood can increase the risk of heart disease.

Omega-3 fatty acids, provided to the body in triglyceride form, help lower blood fat levels by reducing the production of lipoproteins in the liver and assisting in their faster removal from the blood. This process reduces blood fat levels, decreases inflammation in blood vessels, and helps prevent cardiovascular diseases.

In the case of omega-3 oils, triglyceride is simply the form of the fatty acid molecules that allows EPA and DHA to be better absorbed by the body—and the higher the bioavailability, the better and faster omega-3 is taken up by the body.

The re-esterification step in the production of vabon oh!mega is more expensive and time-consuming than leaving it as an ethyl ester concentrate, but it is worth it because the fish oil concentrate in vabon oh!mega consists of 90% triglycerides and is, according to studies, about 400% more bioavailable than common ethyl ester fish oil concentrates!

vabon essentials & vabon fierce serve to provide comprehensive supply of all essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, strengthening the immune system among other things and providing energy for the day. vabon apex is an all-round talent when it comes to muscle building, weight loss, or joints.

So far, it has not been possible to incorporate Omega-3 flavorlessly into the existing products, as the fatty acid has a very distinctive fishy taste that would have strongly affected the taste experience of vabon essentials, vabon fierce, and vabon apex. Additionally, it is difficult to keep Omega-3 fatty acids stable – especially in liquids.

Therefore, we decided to develop a new dietary supplement. With vabon 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 vabon essentials, vabon fierce, and vabon apex.

Omega-3 fatty acids are among the essential fatty acids in the group of polyunsaturated fatty acids. This means the body cannot produce Omega-3 on its own and must therefore obtain these fatty acids through food.

Omega-3 is the general term 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-based foods such as flaxseed oil, flaxseeds, or wild rice.

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

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

In a vabon oh!mega jelly, there are 600 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, including 362 mg DHA and 148 mg EPA, to guarantee the positive effects of both omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-3 is the general term for a group of different fatty acids. Studies show that EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) & DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) have the most proven positive effects on health.

About 30% of the structural fats in the brain consist of DHA. That is why DHA is so important for brain activity and cognitive performance, learning ability, reaction time, and many other neurological processes that influence mental performance.

DHA is also an important component of the retina and supports, among other things, the ability to see in light and dark. This clearly shows how important an adequate 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 attributed with more health benefits than eicosapentaenoic acid, which is why vabon oh!mega contains more than twice as much DHA as EPA.

For our health, it is not only the amount of omega-3 we consume daily through our diet that matters, but especially the correct ratio between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids – because only then can both fatty acids optimally exert their effects in the body.

The omega-6 fatty acids in the body act as components of cell membranes and are needed for growth and repair processes, promoting the development of inflammation as part of the immune defense. This can be particularly helpful during infections, as the development of inflammation can help fight off dangerous pathogens. Another effect of omega-6 fatty acids is an increased tendency for blood clotting and narrowing of the blood vessels. This is especially beneficial in the case of more severe injuries. The faster the vessels narrow and the quicker 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 thickness of the blood so that it can flow better through the vessels and does not clot inside them. A balanced ratio between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the body is therefore very important for health.

However, the industrialization of food has increased the proportion of omega-6 fatty acids in our daily diet. Since both fatty acids share the same metabolic pathways, this has led to an increasing imbalance in the intake between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids.

Instead of the ideal ratio between omega-6 and omega-3 of 3:1 up to a maximum of 5:1, the actual ratio for an average European today is around 12:1.

We recommend taking vabon oh!mega once daily with meals – regardless of the time of day.

It is important not to take vabon oh!mega on an empty stomach, as the bioavailability of the omega-3 fatty acids is significantly increased when taken with fat.

It is best to take vabon oh!mega with or after a meal, as omega-3 fatty acids are better absorbed and utilized by the body this way – bioavailability is significantly increased.

Yes, vabon oh!mega can also be taken by children. Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in the development of the brain and vision – especially in childhood. Since the body cannot produce these on its own, adequate intake through diet or targeted supplementation – such as with vabon oh!mega – is important.

There is no universal recommendation for daily omega-3 intake for children. The requirement can vary depending on age, body weight, and diet. As a simple guideline: 1 jelly per day is generally sufficient for children. Those who want to know more precisely can determine their individual omega-3 status through the omega-3-index-test. This allows for targeted adjustment of intake and optimization over a period of several months if necessary. With vabon oh!mega, daily omega-3 intake can be easily and conveniently integrated into everyday life.

Omega-3 fatty acids – especially DHA – contribute to the normal development of the brain and vision. A good supply is particularly important during growth phases, as the brain and nervous system are still developing. Regular intake of vabon oh!mega can help to sensibly supplement the daily intake.

Many children (and also adults) are reluctant to take classic Omega-3 products like capsules or oil.vabon oh!mega offers a simple solution here:

• fruity jellies instead of fish taste
• no capsules, no unpleasant burping

This makes the daily intake with vabon oh!mega easier to become a routine – even for children.

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

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

Since one vabon oh!mega Jelly contains 600 mg Omega-3, of which 510 mg are EPA + DHA, this amount is sufficiently covered with just one Jelly.

No, no side effects are known.

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

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

vabon oh!mega should be stored at 5-25° until the expiration date.

Due to the unique technology used in the production of vabon 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, vabon 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 by your family doctor through a blood test, which is then analyzed in a laboratory. After the blood analysis is completed, you receive information about the Omega-3 index and the Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio and can discuss further steps with your doctor.

The cause of an omega-3 deficiency is that in everyday life, not enough omega-3-rich foods are consumed, while too many omega-6-rich foods are eaten. 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 key 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 a growing imbalance in the intake between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids.

For everyone!

Omega-3 fatty acids should be consumed sufficiently by everyone to ensure the numerous health benefits, such as supporting heart and brain function and vision, maintaining normal blood pressure, and contributing to normal blood lipid levels.

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

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

Therefore, high omega-3 intake, exceeding the WHO's recommended daily value of 250 mg, is advised for competitive athletes. vabon oh!mega more than covers this dosage. With a total of 600 mg omega-3 per jelly, including 362 mg DHA and 148 mg EPA, vabon oh!mega is optimal for every competitive athlete!

Plant oils and nuts & seeds initially appear to have high ALA levels, but DHA and EPA are the two omega-3 fatty acids that are most beneficial to our body. Our body can basically convert ALA into EPA and then into DHA, but 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 factors (age, gender, metabolism, etc.). In the worst case, less than 10% is converted to EPA and only about 0.5% to DHA. Since most plant oils are rich in omega-6 fatty acids, large amounts are consumed. This blocks the conversion of alpha-linolenic acid into the biologically more active EPA. Therefore, the mentioned omega-3-rich plant oils are not a reliable source for sufficient supply of biologically active omega-3 fatty acids but rather serve as a supplement to fish.

From this, it can be seen that one would have to eat all these foods in large quantities daily to adequately meet the daily minimum omega-3 requirement.

vabon oh!mega contains 600 mg of omega-3 in just one super tasty jelly, including 362 mg DHA and 148 mg EPA, thus far exceeding the WHO recommended daily minimum intake of 250 mg DHA and EPA.
