DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is a type of omega-3 fatty acid naturally found in fish and certain algae. In this product, DHA is obtained from microalgae.

This product uses microalgae as a source of DHA, which is a plant-based alternative to DHA from fish oil. Algae are the original source of DHA, and by extracting it directly from the algae, this product can provide a vegan alternative for people who do not want or cannot use fish oil.

Although it is best to take the softgels with a meal, the product can also be taken without a meal. The absorption of the ingredients may improve when taken with food, but there are no objections to taking it without a meal.

Fatty acids are organic molecules that form the basis of fats and oils. They consist of chains of carbon atoms to which hydrogen atoms are attached. Fatty acids can be classified into different types according to their chemical structure, such as saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated and have a double bond at the third carbon atom in the chain. They are mainly found in fatty fish, algae, and certain plant oils. Omega-6 fatty acids are also polyunsaturated, but the double bond is at the sixth carbon atom in the chain. They are found in vegetable oils such as sunflower oil, corn oil, soybean oil, and in nuts and seeds. Omega-9 fatty acids are monounsaturated and have the double bond at the ninth carbon. They are found in olive oil, avocados, and nuts.
