Life Extension Vegetarian DHA 30 vegetarian softgels
Product Code: 1640
For Targeted brain health support
Made with sustainably sourced algae, Vegetarian DHA supplements the diet for cognitive and eye health support.
Overview
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) makes up about 40% of the polyunsaturated fatty acids in your brain. It plays a crucial role in supporting cognitive function and may support mood. However, research suggests that people who follow vegetarian or vegan diets often have lower levels of it. Our Vegetarian DHA promotes healthy cognitive function, mood and eye health.
DHA is found in high levels in brain synapses, the communication pathways between neurons. A lack of DHA could impact your brain’s ability to send messages efficiently.
Vegetarian DHA Benefits
Supports healthy cognitive function at any age
May support healthy mood in both adults & children
Helps maintain eye health
Product Details
The omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) accounts for 40% of the polyunsaturated fats in the brain. Brain synapses—the connectors through which neurons communicate with each other—have a higher concentration of DHA than almost any other tissue in the body.1 DHA stimulates the production of neuronal features that underlie learning.2
Healthy mood support (at all ages)
Studies show that DHA is required for the production of essential neuroprotectins to support healthy cell signaling in the brain.3,4 In fact, scientists have been focusing research specifically on how sufficient levels of DHA in healthy individuals may support normal mood and behavior in adults and children, as well as normal cognitive function at any age.2,3,5
Eye health and more
DHA is also a major structural fat in the retina of the eye, accounting for up to 60% of the total polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs).1 A wealth of research demonstrates that this important fatty acid plays an important role in our bodies, including helping promote a healthy inflammatory response, supporting blood flow in the brain, promoting cardiovascular health, supporting healthy metabolism and more.6-9
Sustainably sourced DHA
Scientific research has found that the proportions of DHA in body tissue are substantially lower in vegans and vegetarians compared to people who regularly eat animal-sourced foods.10 So, Life Extension developed a DHA formulation derived from sustainable algae sources. Made with a highly refined DHA oil derived entirely from algae cells in culture, it meets the most rigid standards of vegan and vegetarian diets—but is also ideal for virtually everyone who wishes to supplement their DHA intake.
