Omega 3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that the body cannot produce on its own and must obtain through food or high-quality supplements. The most important long-chain omega-3 fatty acids are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which contribute to heart, brain, and eye health. Burgerstein Omega-3 products deliver these fatty acids in meaningful dosages and combinations for everyday use.
Burgerstein Omega-3 EPA focuses on a high EPA content (378 mg per capsule) and is particularly suitable for supporting the cardiovascular system. EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function and, at higher intakes, can help maintain normal blood pressure and triglyceride levels in the blood.
Burgerstein Omega-3 DHA provides 250 mg DHA per capsule and is designed for those who want to support brain and eye function. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision and is especially important during pregnancy and breastfeeding for normal development of the baby’s brain and eyes.
Burgerstein Omega-3 Vegan is ideal for vegans, vegetarians, and anyone who prefers a fish-free solution. The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are obtained from sustainably cultivated Schizochytrium algae and offer comparable benefits to fish oil – for heart, brain, and eyes.
Burgerstein Omega-3 Liquid is a liquid alternative with a pleasant natural orange flavour and is suitable for children from 2 years of age and adults. The balanced combination of EPA and DHA supports heart, brain, and eyes and can be taken pure or mixed into smoothies, muesli, or other foods.
EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function from a daily intake of 250 mg. At higher dosages, omega-3 fatty acids can additionally support the maintenance of normal blood pressure and triglyceride levels in the blood. DHA also contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision from a daily intake of 250 mg.
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, an adequate DHA intake is particularly important, as maternal DHA intake contributes to normal brain and eye development in the foetus and breastfed infant. Products such as Burgerstein Omega-3 DHA, Omega-3 Vegan, and Omega-3 Liquid are suitable options here, each with product-specific dosage recommendations.

The Swiss Federal Nutrition Commission recommends a daily intake of around 500 mg of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.

The fish oil used in Burgerstein Omega-3 products comes from certified sustainable fishing. The vegan omega-3 is derived from cultivated algae, which are produced under environmentally friendly conditions. This allows you to benefit from omega-3 fatty acids while supporting responsible sourcing.
Products such as Burgerstein Omega-3 DHA, Burgerstein Omega-3 Vegan and Burgerstein Omega-3 Liquid are suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women when used as recommended. These omega-3 products can also be combined with Burgerstein Pregnancy & Breastfeeding, which does not contain omega-3 fatty acids, to provide broader micronutrient support. Omega-3 EPA is not intended for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
The fish oil in Burgerstein Omega-3 products is deodorized, so the typical fishy taste is significantly reduced. The capsules are designed to be neutral in taste and easy to swallow. Omega-3 Liquid has a pleasant natural orange flavour and is popular with children and adults.
The capsules should be stored at room temperature, dry and protected from light. Burgerstein Omega-3 Liquid should be refrigerated after opening and consumed within the recommended period on the packaging. Always keep dietary supplements out of reach of small children.
