DHA is an important Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acid that plays an extremely critical role in the human body, especially in the development, maintenance, and function of the nervous system. It is one of the main components of brain and retinal phospholipids and plays an important role in the brain's intellectual development, vision protection, memory enhancement, and delaying cognitive decline of fetuses, infants, and adults.

what is Algae Oil DHA
Algae can synthesize DHA through its fermentation, so with the development of modern technology, seaweed is cultivated in large stainless steel fermenters, which are commonly used in the pharmaceutical, food, and biotechnology industries. By Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), the entire production process is fully controlled to ensure that it is clean, environmentally friendly, and free from pollution, thereby ensuring the production of safe, efficient, and pollution-free high-quality DHA.
An interesting phenomenon is that most people think that fish is the main source of DHA, but the fact is that fish contain DHA because fish eat DHA-rich seaweed, and the DHA in seaweed is passed through the food chain. accumulated in the fish's body. Therefore, taking algae DHA directly is not only more direct but also does not have the fishy smell of fish oil.

Process |
Fish eat DHA-containing seaweed --- the fish enriches DHA in the body (marine pollution, fish oil also accumulates methylmercury) --- the fish is caught by humans (DHA is easily oxidized and becomes fishy after the fish dies) --- Extract fish oil from fish (very low DHA content) -- Refining and purifying to obtain DHA (PCB, polychlorinated biphenyls, a carcinogen, is introduced during the separation and purification process). |
Fermented in large stainless steel fermenters. The entire production process is carried out in full compliance with cGMP from beginning to end, eliminating the risk of environmental pollution. |
|
Form |
Ethyl ester type or triglyceride type (triglyceride type DHA has lower content. Ethyl ester type DHA currently uses the molecular distillation method. First, various fatty acids such as DHA and EPA of fish oil are hydrolyzed to separate and purify to obtain ethyl ester. However, PCBs, also known as polychlorinated biphenyls or polyvinylbenzene, are introduced, which are carcinogens). Note: After polyvinylbenzene enters the human body, it can cause cancer, cause reproductive system disorders, and may damage the nervous system. However, scientists have so far not established a safe amount of polyvinylbenzene in fish oil. Even so, according to California Bill 65, fish oil manufacturers must explain to consumers the proportion of PCBs in their products. |
Triglyceride type, naturally occurring |
|
DHA content |
The triglyceride type is lower; the ethyl ester type is higher but the natural structure is destroyed and PCB is introduced during the separation and purification process. |
High purity above 35% |
|
Resources and environmental protection |
Unsustainable resources. The fish oil extracted from fish bodies is about 5%-14%. In other words, it takes 20 kilograms of fish to extract one kilogram of fish oil. It takes about 4 kilograms of fish food to raise 1 kilogram of fish. The supply of fish oil will be far less than the demand, and the fish oil market will face the risk of resource shortage in the future. |
Environmentally friendly, does not damage marine resources and the global environment |
|
Marine heavy metal pollution |
Mercury pollution is serious, and many deep-sea fish such as swordfish and tuna are likely to contain methylmercury. The official website of the U.S. FDA recommends that women who are about to become pregnant, pregnant, nursing, or feeding infants and young children should not eat fish high in methylmercury. |
none |
|
Fishy smell |
The fish oil fishing and extraction process is prone to oxidation and has a strong fishy smell, which affects the taste and flavor of the final product. |
Advanced antioxidant formula, the entire production process is oxygen and light-proof, and the transportation process is a full cold chain, which is not easy to smell fishy |
It can be seen that algae oil DHA is relatively more stable and safe.
Algae DHA's health benefits
Algae DHA helps the brain
The British Brain Nutrition Institute was the first to reveal the secret of DHA: DHA is one of the important substances for human brain development and growth. To maintain the normal functions of various tissues, the human body must ensure adequate amounts of various fatty acids. Among various fatty acids, linoleic acid ω6 and linolenic acid ω3 cannot be synthesized by the human body itself and must be ingested from food, which are called essential fatty acids. As a fatty acid, DHA is more effective in enhancing memory and thinking ability and improving intelligence. Population epidemiological studies have found that people with high levels of DHA in their bodies have stronger psychological endurance and higher intellectual development indexes.

Algae DHA helps the eyes
DHA accounts for 60% of the total fatty acids in the retina. In the retina, each rhodopsin molecule is surrounded by 60 molecules of DHA-rich phospholipid molecules. Enables retinal pigment molecules to improve visual acuity. Helps with neurotransmission in the brain. Studies have proven that the difference in visual acuity between babies who continue to consume sufficient DHA and those who do not consume DHA is equivalent to being able to look down one line on a standard eye chart. Supplementing enough DHA can promote the baby's visual development as early as possible and help the baby understand the world earlier: stimulate the baby's brain development and let the window of intellectual enlightenment lead the baby to be smarter and faster.

Algae DHA for Pregnant Women
It is necessary to know before birth - DHA's help for pregnant women. Supplementing DHA in advance for expectant mothers not only has an important impact on fetal brain development but also plays an important role in the maturation of retinal light-sensitive cells. During pregnancy, increase alpha-linolenic acid levels by consuming foods rich in alpha-linolenic acid. DHA is synthesized from alpha-linolenic acid in maternal blood and then transported to the fetal brain and retina to increase the maturity of nerve cells there.
Experts say that because the efficiency of converting DHA into a daily diet is very low, additional DHA needs to be supplemented. Premature infants, especially those with low birth weight, are particularly sensitive to the lack of essential fatty acids and the DHA obtained from the mother is relatively insufficient. Long-term and appropriate supplementation of DHA can improve fatty acid nutritional status, visual function, and learning ability. Therefore, supplementing DHA during pregnancy can optimize the composition of phospholipids in the pyramidal cells of the fetal brain. Especially after the fetus reaches 5 months of age, artificial stimulation of the fetus's hearing, vision, and touch will cause the neurons in the sensory center of the fetal cerebral cortex to grow more dendrites, which requires the mother to supply the fetus with more DHA at the same time.

Application fields of algae oil DHA
Nutritional supplements for infants and young children:
Algae oil DHA is an important nutrient for brain and retinal development in infants and young children. During the period of infants and young children, the brain and retina are in a stage of rapid development. At this time, sufficient algal oil DHA supplementation is crucial to promote the normal development of infants and young children's intelligence, vision, and cognitive abilities.
Adding algae oil DHA to infant formula can ensure that infants and young children receive adequate nutritional support and help them grow and develop better.
Maternal nutritional supplements:
Pregnant women supplementing algae oil DHA during pregnancy can help the development of the fetal brain and retina. Algae oil DHA can be passed to the fetus through the placenta, providing necessary nutritional support for its brain and retina, and promoting the healthy development of the fetus.
Supplementing algae oil DHA for pregnant women can also reduce the risk of premature birth and help reduce the occurrence of postpartum depression.
Health care for the elderly:
As age increases, the DHA content in the human body gradually decreases, leading to a decline in brain function and vision. Appropriate supplementation of algae oil DHA can provide necessary nutritional support for the elderly, improve brain function, and prevent the occurrence of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
Algae oil DHA can also improve cardiovascular health in the elderly and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. It lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, reducing the risk of atherosclerosis and thrombosis.
