What is DHA in Omega 3 ?

DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function in adults and children [1].

Maternal DHA intake also contributes to the normal brain development of the foetus & breastfed infants [2].

Our double concentrated DHA supplement is derived from algae and provides 500mg DHA in a single vegan omega 3 capsule.  

Ideal for

  • Normal brain function.

  • Healthy aging.

  • Pregnant & breastfeeding mothers.

  • Vegans, vegetarians & people with a low dietary    

  • intake of oily fish.

How it works 

for all stages of life.

In the foetus & breastfed infants DHA supports brain & eye development [2]. Consumption of  omega 3 increases DHA levels in breast milk [3].

In healthy young adults whose diets were low in DHA, supplementation improved memory [4]. In 30-54 year olds, omega 3 improved executive function in participants with low DHA levels [5].

As you age, the rate at which you are able to make new connective tissues slows. DHA has a neuroprotective effect [8] and supplementation has been shown to improve working memory [6]
