Udo's Choice DHA Oil Vegetarian 500ml
Udo’s DHA Oil Blend is simply Udo’s 3-6-9 Oil Blend with additional DHA – one of the Omega Fatty Acids commonly found in seafood. This is a vegetarian formulation.
Did you know that the Omega 3 fatty acid DHA –which people consume fish oil for – actually has its origins in the algae that fish eat? Udo’s DHA 3•6•9 Oil Blend® is an excellent vegetarian source of algae-derived DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid). So now there’s no need to kill fish to supplement your diet with DHA!
The DHA in Udo’s DHA Oil Blend is made from cultivated, unrefined algae, not fish, so it is naturally free of iodine, heavy metals and other ocean pollutants. Made without extensive filtration, molecular distillation and other types of industrial processing, it is the only unrefined algae-sourced DHA on the market.
What is DHA and why is it important?
DHA is one of the most important long-chain fatty acids in the omega-3 family: 97% of the fatty acids found in the brain and 93% of the fatty acids found in the retina are in the form of DHA. The body can convert DHA to EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), an omega-3 fatty acid that is a precursor to the production of prostaglandins which help promote good health.
This oil combines DHA-rich algae with a special formulation of natural, unrefined oils from fresh, certified organic flax, sunflower, sesame and evening primrose seeds as well as oils from coconut, rice and bran. No chemicals or bleaches are used on it at all. This means that the DHA oil contains a full spectrum of phospholipids like phosphatidyl choline and serine. It may also contain a small amount of harmless sediment due to being unrefined.
