Vegan DHA Select - 90 Softgels - Moss Nutrition
Vegan DHA Select - 90 Softgels - Moss Nutrition
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid that exhibits anti-inflammatory activity and serves as the primary structural fat in both retinal (eye), heart and brain tissue.
Most dietary and supplemental DHA comes from animal sources, notably fatty fish. But Vegan DHA Select™ is plant-based in origin, derived from a marine based micro-algae and delivered in a vegetable softgel capsule, making it suitable for use by vegetarians and vegans as well as by people who consume fish or other animal products.
Although human beings are able to synthesize DHA from shorter chain, plant-based omega-3 fatty acids (such as those found in flaxseed oil), the ability to perform this conversion is poor to nonexistent in a significant number of people. For this reason, DHA is considered a conditionally essential fatty acid-i.e. one which must be supplied by dietary or supplemental sources.
Found throughout the body, DHA is most abundant in tissues of the brain, eye and heart muscle. During gestation and early childhood, adequate DHA is critical for healthy brain development to proceed. Throughout life, proper nervous system and visual function depend on the availability of this important omega-3 fatty acid.
Studies also suggest that DHA helps to support a healthy inflammatory response. According to recent research, DHA may be highly effective in modulating specific markers of inflammation and blood lipids. DHA is well known for helping to promote optimal signal transmission in the brain, eyes and nervous system. Low DHA levels have been clinically associated with mood changes, memory problems, poor visual function and other neurological concerns in adults and children. Research suggests that algal DHA helps to significantly improve the omega-3 status and, specifically, to increase DHA concentrations in plasma, serum, platelets and red blood cells.
The high DHA algal oil in Vegan DHA Select™ is derived from the deep sea micro-algae Shizochytrium species which is cultivated via state-of-the-art fermentation technology in a well-controlled environment. Advanced methods of enzymatic and aqueous mechanical extraction, followed by a series of molecular distillations, ensure the highly refined finished product is ultra-pure. Vegan DHA Select™ is stabilized with antioxidant rosemary oil to help optimize freshness and stability and is verified gluten-free by independent laboratory testing.
