Ingredients explained
Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA)
DHA becomes incorporated into cell membranes, especially in the brain and eyes, where it may influence membrane fluidity and signaling involved in neural and visual function.
Caution: Take with food to reduce the chance of fishy or oily aftertaste; if you use blood-thinning medications, consult a healthcare professional due to omega-3s’ mild effects on platelet activity.
Microalgae Oil (source of DHA)
Microalgae oil provides DHA in a plant-based form that the body can use to help build and maintain omega-3 fatty acid pools in tissues.
Caution: If you have sensitivities to new oils, start with the suggested serving to assess tolerance, as concentrated oils may occasionally cause mild digestive upset.
How they work together
DHA is the primary active omega-3 that integrates into cell membranes, while the microalgae oil serves as the plant-based carrier that delivers DHA in a consistent, hexane-free form. Together, they provide a vegan source of a key long-chain omega-3 fatty acid for daily intake.
