Omega-3 fatty acids: building blocks for the heart, brain and eyesight
Did you know that omega-3 fatty acids are important building blocks for your heart, brain and eyesight? The long-chain, polyunsaturated fatty acids are, for example, components of cell membranes and also support numerous processes in your body.1,2
In order to consume sufficient amounts of the important fatty acids DHA and EPA, we would have to regularly eat (oily) fish. This is not everyone’s cup of tea. That’s why many people turn to fish oil capsules – but here, too, the fishy taste puts many people off. Our rubyni Omega 3 Algae Oil Lemon offers you a top-quality plant-based alternative: its high-quality fatty acids come from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp., which is cultivated in resource-saving aquacultures.
With its innovative formula, the product provides you with a high dose of the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. The fine citrus note gives the algae oil a pleasantly fresh taste.
Omega-3 fatty acids from plant sources2
- Algae oil from microalgae (Schizochytrium sp.) from aquacultures – produced without harming marine ecosystems
- The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function1
- DHA supports your brain function and your vision2
- One teaspoon (5 g) provides you with important omega-3 fatty acids: 1,155 mg DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and 578 mg EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid)

1 The positive effect is achieved with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA and DHA.
2 The positive effect is achieved with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA.
3 The algae come from aquacultures without seawater, which is why they do not contain iodine.
Omega 3 fatty acids – what’s behind them?
The term omega-3 fatty acids is a collective term for special polyunsaturated fatty acids. The most important omega-3 fatty acids include the two long-chain fatty acids3
- docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and
- Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).
Your body needs them for various processes, but can only produce them in very small quantities itself. It is therefore dependent on ingesting these valuable fatty acids through food to ensure an adequate supply.4
Classically, cold-water fish such as salmon, herring or mackerel are considered good animal sources.5 Fish oil capsules are usually made from components of edible fish, from which the oil is extracted and in some cases further concentrated.
However, there is also a plant-based alternative: algae oil. The microalgae Schizochytrium sp. contains high amounts of DHA and EPA. It is therefore suitable as a high-quality supplier of these important fatty acids – especially for people who are vegetarian or vegan, or who simply don’t like the taste of fish.
How much omega-3 fatty acids does your body need?
The German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends – as part of a balanced diet – one to two portions of fish per week, including 70 g of oily sea fish.6,7 This corresponds roughly to 300 to 600 milligrams of EPA and DHA per day.
According to the DGE, 250 mg of EPA and DHA per day is currently sufficient to benefit from the positive effect of the two unsaturated fatty acids on heart function. The society also recommends that pregnant and breastfeeding women should consume an average of at least 200 mg docosahexaenoic acid per day7,8 – in addition to the 250 mg DHA/EPA per day that is recommended for healthy adults anyway.
However, experts emphasize that the daily requirement for omega-3 fatty acids is individual: it depends on age, diet, state of health and physical activity. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) rates intakes of up to 5 grams of EPA and DHA (in combination) or 1.8 grams of EPA (individually) per day for adults as harmless to health.9 Based on this, the following advice applies: the daily intake of a total of 5 g EPA and DHA must not be exceeded.
Sufficiently supplied? The omega-3 index makes it measurable
Would you like to know what your supply of these valuable fatty acids is like? Then you can have your individual omega-3 index checked by a doctor or alternative practitioner. This laboratory value is a long-term biomarker and measures the proportion of the two omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA in the membrane of red blood cells. The optimum level appears to be 8-11 percent.10
Omega-3 or omega-6? It all depends on the balance!
In addition to omega-3 fatty acids, there are also omega-6 fatty acids. They are contained in various foods, such as vegetable oils or animal fats. The quantities of the individual fatty acids we consume are crucial for our health. The balance of unsaturated fatty acids plays a particularly important role here:
Experts emphasize that the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids should ideally not be greater than 5:1. However, the modern diet often provides many times more omega-6 fatty acids and only a small proportion of omega-3 fatty acids.11

This is particularly relevant for people with thyroid disorders.
rubyni Omega 3 Algae Oil Lemon at a glance: What’s inside
rubyni Omega 3 Algae Oil Lemon is a top quality food supplement that is characterized by its innovative formula. This is because it is a combination of different oils:
- The largest proportion is made up of high-quality algae oil, which provides you with high doses of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA + EPA) from a plant source. It is obtained from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp.
- To protect the sensitive omega-3 fatty acids and increase the fluidity of the algae oil, high-quality sunflower oil is added to it. This is so-called high-oleic sunflower oil. It differs from conventional sunflower oil primarily in its fatty acid composition: fewer omega-6 fatty acids, but more omega-9 fatty acids, especially oleic acid.
- The MCT oil obtained from coconut oil has no influence on the fatty acid profile of the product, but complements the positive properties of sunflower oil. It also scores points for its good tolerability and neutral taste.
rubyni Omega 3 Algae Oil Lemon is characterized by an extremely balanced composition of the fatty acids it contains.

Note: Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet or to replace a healthy lifestyle.
Supplementary information: consume quickly after opening.
Because protecting marine ecosystems is important to us
The microalgae Schizochytrium sp. can be cultivated in a way that conserves resources and is low in pollutants. This has the advantage that its cultivation does not pollute the world’s oceans or already endangered fish stocks.
A special fermentation process is used to produce the algae oil: the aquatic plant is supplied with sugar and other nutrients in the fermenter. It then naturally produces the two omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. Once sufficient quantities of the valuable fatty acids are present in the fermentation juice, it is filtered. The algae cells are then mechanically broken down to release the algae oil.
The algae oil is supplemented with high-quality sunflower oil. This protects and stabilizes the sensitive omega-3 fatty acids, making them less sensitive and more durable.
Good to know:
Omega-3 fatty acids: important for the heart, brain and eyesight
Now to the scientific facts: The “good” omega-3 fats are a component of all cell membranes in the body and also serve as a precursor for important messenger substances. They are involved in regulating a wide range of functions in the body.1
Omega-3 fatty acids and heart health
If you take 250 mg of EPA and DHA daily, this can have a positive effect on your heart health. This is because the two unsaturated fatty acids support normal heart function.2
Studies show that the omega-3 index – a biomarker for the proportion of the two fatty acids EPA and DHA in red blood cells – varies around the world. In the USA, it averages around 5 percent, while values of over 8 percent are reported in Japan.12
How can our brain benefit from omega-3 fatty acids?
Mental performance naturally declines with increasing age. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function. Scientific reviews have investigated the influence that an adequate supply of omega-3 fatty acids can have on cognitive functions in old age.13,14
However, researchers are not only interested in the brains of older people in this context, but also those of (school) children, for example.15,16
Can “good fats” support vision?
DHA helps to maintain your normal vision because omega-3 fatty acids are a natural component of the retina. Numerous scientific studies have investigated the relationship between DHA levels and vision.17,18
Why are omega-3 fatty acids so important during pregnancy?
Pregnant and breastfeeding women are recommended to take at least 200 mg DHA per day in addition to the recommended daily intake of omega-3 fatty acids of 250 mg DHA and EPA for adults. The intake of DHA by the mother contributes to the normal development of the eyes in the fetus and in the breastfed infant. This is as true for the unborn child as it is for the infant when breastfed. The developing brain contains DHA – both in the fetus and in the child during the first two years of life.19,20,21
What are the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids?
The long-chain unsaturated fatty acids can benefit our body in many ways:
- Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision.2
The positive effect is achieved with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA. - Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and DHA contribute to normal heart function.
The positive effect is achieved with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA and DHA.2 - The mother’s intake of DHA contributes to normal eye development in the fetus and in the breastfed infant.
This positive effect occurs when 200 mg DHA is taken daily in addition to the recommended daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids for adults (250 mg DHA and EPA). - The mother’s intake of DHA contributes to normal brain development in the fetus and breastfed infant.
This positive effect occurs when 200 mg of DHA is taken daily in addition to the recommended daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids for adults (250 mg of DHA and EPA).22

convinced by rubyni®
Tobias Angerer
Cross-country skier
As a former professional athlete and health-conscious person, my physical performance and well-being are extremely important to me. That's why I take rubyni® with elderberries - it's now part of my daily routine. I am convinced of the positive effects of elderberries on my immune system, my energy levels and my fitness, especially during regeneration after periods of exertion.
Andrea Sokol
Phytotherapist | Nutrition and health consultant
I work as a nutrition and health consultant and am a trained phytotherapist. Transparency, sustainability and quality are very important to me. And I have to say that rubyni® has completely won me over as a brand. The capsules contain only extremely high-quality and natural ingredients whose effectiveness has been proven by studies and which provide the body with important nutrients. I have published several videos about my personal rubyni® journey on my YouTube channel Ohlala & Solala. There I tell you even more about what makes this dietary supplement so special from my point of view.
Hanna Kebinger
Biathlete
As a biathlete, I have to be fit and able to perform at the drop of a hat. I had big problems with that in the past. My body was repeatedly weakened and I had to put up with many setbacks. When I was looking for a solution to support my immune system in the long term, my naturopath introduced me to elderberries as a superfood, among other things. I now take rubyni® with elderberries every day. The capsules are also super handy when I'm on the World Cup circuit. Rubyni® is a valuable aid for me during stressful competition phases and my immune system is finally back on top form.
