Why is DHA from microalgae important?
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is an important omega-3 fatty acid and must be absorbed by the human body for stable health. Vegan DHA from microalgae offers a unique alternative to fish oil and thus protects fish populations.
Typical applications: Schizochytrium sp. DHA Omega-3 Fatty Acid
Babies can only produce a certain amount of DHA themselves, which is why the European Food Safety Authority and the German Nutrition Society have recommended that an additional 200 mg of DHA should be ingested during pregnancy and breastfeeding, mainly from fish oil, but this is gradually leading to overfishing.
A vegan alternative is DHA, which is obtained from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp. For all people who do not want to or cannot eat fish as often, a supplementation of DHA from microalgae is recommended.
Typical applications
- DHA oleoresin is used in food and dietary supplements
- the oil from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp. offers a unique alternative to the usual fish oil
Typical applications in the cosmetics industry:
The microalgae Schizochytrium sp. is rich in the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA and is often used industrially in the form of oil. The DHA of the microalgae Schizochytrium sp. is a key component in cosmetic products, and on the other hand is valued for its anti-inflammatory effect.
In addition, Schizochytrium sp. is becoming increasingly important in personal care and cosmetics, as it shows potential benefits when applied directly to the skin. Among them, for example, deep hydration, anti-aging properties, unclogging of pores and improvement of discoloration.
