Not quite – DHA is one of several omega-3 fatty acids, not a synonym for it.
You can think of it like a family: omega-3 is the umbrella term, and ALA, EPA and DHA are the three essential members of this family.
DHA is considered the fatty acid with the broadest spectrum of action, as it has a direct effect on the heart, brain and eyes.
So, if you read "Omega-3", you cannot be sure whether it means EPA, DHA or ALA – that's why it's worth taking a look at the actual amount of DHA per capsule when buying.
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are two of the three essential omega-3 fatty acids; the third is ALA.
The body can convert EPA into DHA relatively easily, but the reverse is only possible to a very limited extent.
It is therefore recommended that DHA be taken in as directly as possible via food or dietary supplements.
Both perform different tasks in the body, but DHA has the broadest spectrum of action among the omega-3 fatty acids, as it simultaneously affects the cardiovascular system, brain function and eyes.
That is why DHA is often referred to as the "most valuable" of the three essential omega-3 fatty acids.
Vegan omega-3 capsules made from algae oil provide DHA directly from the source – because even oily fish originally get their omega-3 from the algae they eat.
Those who eat a plant-based diet or generally want to avoid fish oil can therefore get the same fatty acid with algae oil without the detour via fish.
In addition, algae oil contains the omega-3 fatty acids in their natural triglyceride form, which can be easily absorbed by the body.
There is no general answer to this, but a few points help with the selection: the actual amount of DHA per capsule (not just the amount of algae oil), the form of the fatty acid (triglyceride instead of ethyl ester is considered to be more bioavailable), the protection against oxidation through natural antioxidants such as rosemary extract, and the origin and growing conditions of the algae.
Our Omega 3 DHA vegan capsules, for example, provide 200 mg of DHA per capsule from controlled-cultivation algae.
DHA helps maintain normal brain function and normal vision.
In addition, DHA contributes to normal heart function and to maintaining normal blood pressure and normal triglyceride levels in the blood.
These statements are based on a scientific assessment by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
From the microalgae Schizochytrium sp., which is cultivated under controlled conditions without pesticides or other chemicals.
This has a practical side effect: the plant is independent of the sea, which means that neither the ecosystem nor fish stocks are affected.
Each capsule contains 500 mg of algae oil with 200 mg of DHA. The recommended daily dose is 1 capsule.
Yes, all the ingredients are plant-based. In addition, the product is free from iodine, lactose, gluten, soy, yeast, and artificial colourings and preservatives – this also makes it suitable for people with a fish allergy or various intolerances.
Omega-3 fatty acids oxidise faster than other fats. Rosemary extract and natural vitamin E act here as natural antioxidants that protect the sensitive algae oil from oxidation and thus preserve its quality for longer.
According to the manufacturer, the product is suitable for pregnant women, and the amount of rosemary extract it contains is also considered to be very low. If you are unsure, it is nevertheless advisable to speak to your gynaecologist beforehand.
Chemically, it is the same fatty acid. The difference lies in the source and partly in the form: the omega-3 fatty acids in this product are in the natural triglyceride form, which the body tends to absorb better than the ethyl ester form common in some fish oil products.
1 to 2 capsules daily with a meal, or as recommended by the therapist.
