DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is an essential omega-3 fatty acid and must be absorbed by the human body for stable health. Vegan DHA capsules from microalgae offer a unique alternative to fish oil capsules.
DHA is particularly important for vision and brain development as well as for the development of the central nervous system of unborn and newborn humans and animals. Since babies can only produce DHA to a certain extent, 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.
A vegan alternative is now offered by DHA, which is obtained from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp. For all people, but especially for pregnant women who do not want to or cannot eat fish so often, a supplementation of DHA from microalgae is recommended.
The company Myprotein now offers vegan omega-3 capsules made from microalgae instead of fish oil.
