★★★★★ "I won't go back to high street supplements. The difference in quality is something you can actually feel." Susie
DHA from Algae Capsules give you DHA, the omega 3 fat concentrated in the brain and retina, from algae oil rather than fish. Each soft gel capsule provides 200mg of DHA with 5mg of vitamin E. You take one or two a day with a meal that contains fat. One pot holds 60 capsules.
Benefits of taking DHA
DHA, docosahexaenoic acid, is the omega 3 fat the brain and eyes hold most of. Fish get it from algae, so algae oil is the original source and the one that suits vegans. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision at a daily intake of 250mg, which two capsules cover. It is the omega 3 that vegans and people who eat little fish most often go short of.
- Brain function stays normal with 250mg of DHA a day, which two capsules provide.
- Vision stays normal at the same intake.
- Cells get protection from oxidative stress from the vitamin E, which also keeps the oil stable.
- Fish is left out, so the capsules suit vegans and anyone who dislikes fish oil.
Who benefits
DHA from Algae Capsules are most useful for:
- Vegans and vegetarians, who get no DHA from food unless they take algae oil.
- People who eat little oily fish and want DHA without the fish.
- Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding who has been advised DHA by a practitioner.
If you eat fish and want EPA alongside DHA, Omega 3 Fish Oil Softgels give both.
What is in it
Each capsule provides 200mg of DHA from algae oil and 5mg of vitamin E, which is 42% of the daily reference value, in a soft gel capsule that suits vegans. Algal DHA, algae omega 3 and vegan DHA are other names for it.
Maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal development of the brain and eyes of the foetus and of breastfed infants, at 200mg a day on top of the recommended daily omega 3 intake for adults.
How to take it
Take one or two capsules a day with a meal that contains fat, because DHA is fat soluble. One capsule gives 200mg, while two give 400mg and meet the 250mg a day the brain and vision claims need. Morning or evening makes no difference.
Diet and allergens
The capsules are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. They are free from gluten, dairy and nuts.
Quality
The capsules are made in the UK in a GMP certified cleanroom facility accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Every batch is traceable from raw material to finished product. Like every supplement Nutri Tailor stocks, they are practitioner grade and guaranteed additive free.
Common questions
Where does the DHA come from?
Algae oil, not fish. The algae is the original source of marine omega 3, which is what makes these capsules suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
How much DHA should I take a day?
One capsule gives 200mg. Two capsules give 400mg, which covers the 250mg a day at which DHA contributes to normal brain function and vision. A pot of 60 lasts two months at one a day or one month at two.
What is the difference between EPA and DHA?
Both are omega 3 fats from the sea. DHA is the one built into the brain and retina, which is why the brain and vision claims belong to it. EPA has its own claim alongside DHA for the heart, at 250mg of the two combined. Fish oil supplies both, while algae oil here supplies DHA.
Can I take it with prescribed tablets?
If you take prescribed tablets, including any that thin the blood, speak to your GP or pharmacist first, because omega 3 fats can add to their effect.
Can I take it with other supplements?
Yes. It is often taken alongside Vitamin D3 and K2 Capsules, because vitamin D is also fat soluble and suits the same fat containing meal.
Does DHA have side effects?
It is well tolerated at one or two capsules a day with food. Taking it with a meal is the way to avoid any aftertaste, which is rare with algae oil because there is no fish in it.
