Omega-3 + Astaxanthin: Why EPA, DHA & Natural Astaxanthin Make a Powerful Daily Combination

Omega-3 fatty acids are among the most important nutrients associated with heart, brain and eye health.

But not every Omega-3 supplement is the same.

The amount of EPA and DHA, the form of the fish oil, its purity and sourcing, capsule technology and additional nutrients can all make a difference when choosing a daily Omega-3 supplement.

One particularly interesting combination brings together:

Omega-3 EPA + DHA

Natural Astaxanthin

Vitamin E

This is exactly the approach behind omega3-Loges® plus Astaxanthin, a premium German-developed Omega-3 formula available in both 60-capsule and 120-capsule packs.

But what exactly do EPA, DHA and Astaxanthin do — and why are they combined in one supplement?

Let's take a closer look.


What Are Omega-3 Fatty Acids?

Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Some of the most important marine Omega-3 fatty acids are:

EPA – Eicosapentaenoic Acid

and:

DHA – Docosahexaenoic Acid

EPA and DHA are naturally found in fatty marine fish and certain microalgae.

For people who do not regularly eat Omega-3-rich fish, a concentrated fish oil supplement can provide a convenient way to complement dietary intake.

However, when comparing Omega-3 supplements, looking only at the amount of “fish oil” on the label can be misleading.

What really matters is how much:

EPA + DHA

the product actually provides.


EPA + DHA: Supporting Normal Heart Function

EPA and DHA contribute to:

❤️ Normal Heart Function

The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA and DHA.

With the recommended maximum daily serving of two capsules, omega3-Loges plus Astaxanthin provides at least:

480 mg EPA

plus:

320 mg DHA

That's at least:

800 mg EPA + DHA

within a total of 960 mg Omega-3 fatty acids per 2 capsules.

This distinction is important:

960 mg refers to total Omega-3 fatty acids — not 960 mg EPA + DHA.


DHA: An Important Omega-3 for the Brain

DHA is particularly relevant because it contributes to:

🧠 Maintenance of Normal Brain Function

The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA.

Two capsules of omega3-Loges plus Astaxanthin provide at least:

320 mg DHA

making the formula suitable for customers specifically looking for an Omega-3 supplement that provides enough DHA to support the authorised nutritional claim.


DHA and Normal Vision

DHA doesn't only play a role in the brain.

It also contributes to:

👁️ Maintenance of Normal Vision

Again, the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA.

The same two-capsule daily serving provides at least 320 mg DHA.

This is why a well-formulated EPA/DHA supplement can have a broader nutritional positioning than simply “fish oil for the heart”.

Think:

❤️ Heart

🧠 Brain

👁️ Vision


So Where Does Astaxanthin Come In?

Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring red-orange carotenoid.

One of its richest natural sources is the microalga:

Haematococcus pluvialis

This microalga produces Astaxanthin particularly under challenging environmental conditions, such as intense sunlight.

The pigment is also responsible for the characteristic reddish colour associated with various marine organisms.

omega3-Loges plus Astaxanthin combines its concentrated marine Omega-3 fatty acids with natural Astaxanthin derived from Haematococcus pluvialis.


How Much Astaxanthin Does omega3-Loges Provide?

Each capsule contains:

2 mg Astaxanthin Complex

Two capsules provide:

4 mg Astaxanthin Complex

This means that the formula isn't simply a standard fish oil with a marketing name attached.

Its nutritional concept deliberately combines:

Omega-3 EPA + DHA

+

Natural Astaxanthin

+

Vitamin E

in one daily formula.


Why Combine Omega-3 and Astaxanthin?

There is a practical reason this combination makes sense.

Omega-3 fatty acids are fats, while Astaxanthin is a fat-soluble carotenoid.

Dr. Loges notes that Astaxanthin is best absorbed together with dietary fat, making the combination with Omega-3 fatty acids particularly convenient.

At the same time, it is important not to overstate this relationship.

The manufacturer explicitly notes that an additional synergistic effect between Astaxanthin and Omega-3 in humans cannot currently be regarded as conclusively scientifically established.

So rather than describing the combination as a miracle “synergy”, the more accurate way to understand it is:

Two Valuable Nutritional Components in One Convenient Formula


Don't Forget Vitamin E

There's another ingredient in the formula that shouldn't be overlooked:

Vitamin E

One capsule provides:

4 mg Vitamin E – 33% NRV

Two capsules provide:

8 mg Vitamin E – 66% NRV

Vitamin E contributes to:

🛡️ Protection of Cells from Oxidative Stress

This gives omega3-Loges plus Astaxanthin a three-part nutritional concept:

EPA + DHA for established Omega-3 nutritional functions

Natural Astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis

and:

Vitamin E with an authorised antioxidant protection claim.


Not All Omega-3 Forms Are the Same

Another interesting feature of omega3-Loges plus Astaxanthin is the form of its Omega-3 fatty acids.

EPA and DHA are supplied as:

Re-Esterified Triglycerides

According to Dr. Loges, this form allows for a high concentration and purity of unsaturated fatty acids, enabling substantial Omega-3 amounts to be delivered with relatively few capsules.

For customers comparing premium Omega-3 products, this is a more meaningful product characteristic than simply looking at how many milligrams of “fish oil” appear on the front of the package.


High-Purity Fish Oil & Sustainable Sourcing

Where fish oil comes from is another factor worth considering.

Dr. Loges states that the fish oil used for omega3-Loges plus Astaxanthin comes from wild deep-sea fish naturally rich in EPA and DHA.

The supply chain is certified by:

Friend of the Sea

with sustainability and environmental protection taken into account throughout the sourcing process.

For customers choosing a long-term Omega-3 supplement, sourcing and quality control can therefore be just as important as the nutrient numbers on the label.


Why Do Some Fish Oil Capsules Cause Fishy Burping?

Anyone who has used a conventional fish oil supplement may recognise the problem:

Fishy Aftertaste

or:

Unpleasant Fishy Burping

omega3-Loges plus Astaxanthin addresses this with:

Gastro-Resistant Soft Capsules

The coating is designed so that the capsule contents are released later rather than immediately in the stomach, helping prevent unpleasant fishy burping.

This is a small feature that can make a significant practical difference when taking Omega-3 every day.


What's Inside 2 Capsules?

Nutrient Per Capsule Per 2 Capsules
Total Omega-3 Fatty Acids 480 mg 960 mg
EPA min. 240 mg min. 480 mg
DHA min. 160 mg min. 320 mg
Vitamin E 4 mg 8 mg
Vitamin E NRV 33% 66%
Astaxanthin Complex 2 mg 4 mg

There is no established NRV for Omega-3 fatty acids or Astaxanthin.


1 Capsule or 2 Capsules a Day?

The recommended intake is:

1–2 Capsules Daily

with sufficient liquid, approximately 1–2 hours before a meal.

Dr. Loges differentiates the nutritional positioning according to intake:

1 Capsule Daily

Provides at least:

240 mg EPA + 160 mg DHA

The EPA + DHA amount is sufficient for the authorised claim relating to normal heart function.

2 Capsules Daily

Provides at least:

480 mg EPA + 320 mg DHA

This provides sufficient DHA for the authorised claims relating to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision, in addition to the EPA + DHA heart claim.


60 or 120 Capsules: Which Pack Should You Choose?

The formula is identical.

The difference is simply the pack size.

60 Capsules 120 Capsules
Formula Same Same
Omega-3 / Capsule 480 mg 480 mg
EPA / Capsule min. 240 mg min. 240 mg
DHA / Capsule min. 160 mg min. 160 mg
Astaxanthin Complex 2 mg 2 mg
Vitamin E 4 mg 4 mg
At 1 Capsule / Day 60 Days 120 Days
At 2 Capsules / Day 30 Days 60 Days
PZN 13360042 13360059

Dr. Loges officially offers both pack sizes with the same formulation.

Choose 60 Capsules If…

You're trying the product for the first time, want a smaller initial pack or prefer ordering supplements in shorter intervals.

Choose 120 Capsules If…

Omega-3 is already part of your regular routine and you want a more convenient supply for longer-term use.

Is omega3-Loges plus Astaxanthin Vegan?

No.

This is important because the product contains:

Fish Oil

and:

Beef Gelatine

It is therefore neither vegan nor vegetarian.

For customers who specifically want a vegan Omega-3 supplement, Dr. Loges also produces a separate plant-based Omega-3 formula using microalgae oil.


Who May Consider an Omega-3 + Astaxanthin Supplement?

omega3-Loges plus Astaxanthin may be particularly interesting for adults who:

Don't regularly eat fatty marine fish

Want a concentrated source of EPA and DHA

Are looking for Omega-3 to support normal heart function

Want sufficient DHA to support normal brain function and vision

Prefer a formula containing natural Astaxanthin

Want additional Vitamin E

Prefer sustainably sourced fish oil

or:

Dislike the fishy burping associated with conventional fish oil capsules.

The formula is also listed on the Cologne List® (Kölner Liste®), which lists supplements tested for selected doping substances and is particularly relevant for athletes concerned about minimising doping risk.


Important Information

omega3-Loges plus Astaxanthin is a:

Food Supplement

not a medicine.

It should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.

Due to its Astaxanthin content, the product is not suitable for infants, children or adolescents under 14 years of age.

Additional food supplements containing Astaxanthin esters should not be used at the same time.

Astaxanthin is strongly coloured, so the capsule contents should not come into contact with sensitive textiles or surfaces.

The capsules are intended to be swallowed whole. Opening them would also compromise their gastro-resistant coating.


The Bottom Line

A high-quality Omega-3 supplement is about more than simply choosing “fish oil”.

The details matter:

How much EPA does it provide?

How much DHA does it provide?

What form of Omega-3 is used?

Where does the fish oil come from?

How is it purified?

Is it comfortable to take every day?

Does the formula offer anything beyond standard fish oil?

omega3-Loges plus Astaxanthin brings several of these characteristics together.

Two capsules provide 960 mg total Omega-3 fatty acids, including at least 480 mg EPA and 320 mg DHA, together with 4 mg natural Astaxanthin Complex and 8 mg Vitamin E. EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function, while DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and vision. Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

The addition of natural Astaxanthin, re-esterified triglyceride Omega-3, sustainably sourced fish oil and gastro-resistant capsules makes it an interesting premium alternative to a basic fish oil supplement.

And because exactly the same formula is available in both 60 and 120 capsules, you can simply choose the pack size that best fits your daily routine.
