The truth about omega 3 fatty acids…
Omega 3 essential fatty acids are those important that are found in nature in fish, algae, and some seeds and nuts.
It can often be heard that there are several types of omega 3 fatty acids. Two well-known are eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHK). They are most commonly encountered while browsing for information on omega 3 fats.
It is these two forms of fatty acids that are found in foods of marine origin.
Remember the times when kids were given spoonfuls of fish oil?
If you are from the younger generation, you probably do not have this experience, but the older generation remembers very well how they were spoonfed fish oil.
Even today, most food supplements on the market are made on the basis of fish oil …
The source of raw materials for omega 3 fatty acids EPK and DHK are most often different fish. These are the already mentioned salmon and mackerel as well as tuna, sardines… Sometimes we also find krill oil or algae on the market.
We decided to develop omega 3 capsules from algae.
The content of omega 3 fatty acids in algae is similar to that in fish, so algae represent an excellent pure and plant source of these important fatty acids.
Microalgae are one of the oldest living organisms on Earth. It is real super food, which is also a great source of omega 3 fatty acids.
Since different algae do not contain the same values of omega 3, we have worked with the experts and looked for a type that ensures the adequate consumption of both types of fatty acids. Namely EPA and DHK.
It is a species of algae Schizochytrium, which is a rich source of both types of omega 3.
These algae are produced in a controlled environment and do not contain heavy metals or other unwanted substances, making them a safe source of essential fatty acids.
Schizochytrium sp. are marine microalgae. They are therefore microscopic unicellular algae that grow in nature along tropical coasts. They feed on simple organic substances formed during the decomposition of plants. These micro algae do not need light.
Algae Schizochytrium – are they really a great source of omega-3?
Schizochytrium algae produce large amounts of two important fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Fish also get their omega 3 fats by eating foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids and we humans also have the opportunity to get them from this direct source. Algae oil is also 100% and exclusively from a plant source and therefore also suitable in a vegan diet.
Algae Schizochytrium and environmental protection
To obtain EPA and DHA fatty acids, microalgae are specially grown in a strictly controlled environment, which allows for high quality.
Because algae are cultivated, there is no need to interfere with the marine ecosystem and thus cause damage to marine life. Schizochytrium algae are grown in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way and free of harmful substances.
Malinca Omega 3 capsules are:
Malinca Omega 3 capsules are therefore a vegan alternative that provides our body with a daily amount of EPA and DHK fatty acids.
The plant source of omega 3 will delight all those who for various reasons do not eat fish or want to contribute to the protection of the environment.
Another important advantage is that the capsules do not cause fish burps. Also, heartburn is not caused by Malinca’s capsules.
Clean water, minerals and carbon dioxide – that's all we need to grow algae. This means that they can be grown and harvested without the risk of environmental pollution. Algae are therefore considered a valuable renewable source of omega 3.

Where are the algae grown?
Algae do not come directly from the sea, but are specially grown in a controlled environment. In cultivation, however, an independent fermentation process is used. Oil is then extracted from these algae.
