What is DHA algal oil?
DHA stands for Docosahexaenoic Acid and is an Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid. It is an important nutrient often called "brain gold" because it plays an important role in the human body for the normal functioning of the brain and visual system. DHA algal oil provides a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fish oil. By bypassing fish and getting DHA directly from microalgae, this oil eliminates problems like ocean pollution and overfishing. DHA algal oil not only provides DHA nutrition but also contains other nutrients contained in algae, such as protein, vitamins, and minerals.
