DHA is a long chain polyunsaturated omega-3 oil. It is an essential fatty acid, meaning that the body doesn't produce it by itself and it must be obtained in the diet. It is known to be a major building block of human brain tissue and eye tissue. In fact, the human brain consists of about sixty percent fat and essential fatty acids like DHA are vital to its structure and function. DHA has been found to be crucial to fetal brain development, as well as the brain development of infants and children. It is also known to affect the heart and enhance stroke volume and cardiac output during exercise1. This is just one of many studies that have shown that it helps improve cardiovascular health. Omega-3 Oils ,including DHA, has been found to also help cardiovascular health. Supportive, but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Unfortunately, our Western diet likely does not contain adequate amounts of DHA and fish oils may contain pollutants like mercury and dioxin2. Pollutants may be retained in fish oils collected from contaminated fish unless through distillation and filtration are employed.

The softgels are made from non-animal materials making it one of the safest sources of vegan omega-3 fatty acids.
