Hello, are you planning to launch VEGAN omega 3 from algae? Thank you.
Hello, may I ask if I can take omegas3 at 15 years old? Or is there a different dosage compared to adults? And I would also like to ask if I can combine omega3 with vitamin D3+K2 and magnesium?
Hi Eliška, you can definitely use the product, just stick to the recommended dosage :). At the same time, don't be afraid of combining it with other supplements. Have a nice day
Hello,
I would like to ask what is the oxidation stability in hours?
Thank you in advance for your reply 😊
Hello,
what is the amount of vitamin A in 1 capsule?
Thank you
Hello Jaroslav, fish oil contains vitamin A naturally when it is in fish. When processed material is used in supplements that is concentrated in EPA and DHA, the natural vitamin A content will be negligible, non-standardized, and certainly below the legal limit of 15% RHP/dose, which is the threshold for calling a product a "source of vitamin A". In such a case, we cannot even claim that the product contains/is a source of vitamin A. Have a nice day 😊.
Hello,
does Vilgain Omega-3 contain rosemary extract, please?
Is it suitable for pregnant women?
Regarding tocopherols - what is the amount so as not to overuse vit.E?
Thank you very much in advance.

Thank you for answering. Please add how much vitamin D is in the capsule, if it is laboratory quantified/detected? Thank you in advance
Hello, the product does not contain vitamin D. Have a nice day :).
Great, thank you. Just for completeness though - from the answer to the first question see below "vitamin D is contained naturally, as in any fish oil. Vitamin D3 content is known to be highest in cod liver oil. Other fish oils have very little." so I guess there's some vitamin D in there, right? But I take it this product isn't cod liver oil, so there won't be much? But is it measured in any way? The answers are a bit contradictory...
Hi, fish oil contains vitamin D naturally if it is in the fish.

Omega-3 fish oils that contain vitamin D usually contain it because the product is fortified with these vitamins = the manufacturer adds these substances separately. The cod liver oil product does contain it, but it is a different type of product. Have a nice day.
Hello, I would like to ask you, in the product description you state that these Omega 3 are enriched with tocopherols, but they are not listed in the ingredients, so how is it with their content in this product? Thank you in advance
Hello, I have a question about storage. You state that Omega should be stored in a cool place. What degree range are we talking about? Can I store it in the fridge or is room temperature sufficient (and the active ingredients will not be affected)? Thank you in advance.
What happened to Golden Omega? Why don't you offer it anymore? :(
That's exactly what I noticed too. No mention that the product has been changed. Because that's also how the DHA and EPA or fish oil values in one capsule were changed.
Hi Peter, the EPA and DHA content is not lower than before - we currently state the lowest possible values according to the specification, however the actual content varies from batch to batch, on average it is 330 mg EPA and 220 mg DHA. We are currently working with Vivo Mega, a Norwegian fish oil producer with over 100 years of production history. The manufacturer adheres to the same (and higher) standards regarding fish oil quality. It also checks the levels of pesticides, benzo(a)pyrene or polyaromatic hydrocarbons in its products, the maximum permissible levels of which are not even specified in the GOED manual. The maximum permissible levels of heavy metals and polychlorinated biphenyls are several times lower than the GOED/EU standards. As with the manufacturer Golden Omega, we control the entire production process for Vivo Mega fish oil, which, as before, takes place in the EU.
For Golden Omega you stated: fish oil 665, EPA 330, DHA 230. Now you have 600/300/200. So it's a slight variation.
Like, I don't have a problem with that, just someone not even noticing that there's been a change.
I agree with what Peter says. The EPA and DHA values are 10% lower in the new pack. So I don't know, either you were bullshitting before that there's more of it, or you're bullshitting now that it's the same. Overall, though, it's kind of weird. You guys have been touting Golden Omega as the best it can be and here it's just classic marketing.
I don't have a problem with you offering something different, I just don't like the communication. I suppose it happens quite often, why don't you have some sort of monthly article where you say what changes have happened, what you are preparing etc.

Hi, is it normal that the Omegas are glued together into one big lump after opening? They can only be separated by hand and are glued together quite strongly :)
Hello, thank you for your inquiry. The capsules have a more gently adhesive surface due to their contents, so they can "stick" together. However, this does not affect the quality of the product. Have a nice day :)
