What Is The Difference Between DHA Algal Oil And DHA Fish Oil?
Nov 13, 2023
DHA is a very important polyunsaturated fatty acid for the human body, also known as brain gold. It is a major element in the growth and maintenance of nervous system cells and an important component of the brain and retina. Therefore, it is very necessary to supplement DHA correctly and scientifically for children's visual development.
Fish oil is rich in DHA and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), and fish oil mainly comes from deep-sea fish. With the increasing degree of global industrialization, environmental pollution is becoming more and more serious. In recent years, major fishing countries such as Canada and Japan have found that the deep-sea fish caught contain a large number of organic pollutants, heavy metals such as mercury, etc., and most of them are fat-soluble. The British environmental science journal "Actinosphere" published a study by British scientist Jacobs, who collected 44 brands of fish oil from 15 countries and found that they contained organic chlorine pollutants, as well as dioxins (Doixin) and toxaphene.
In general, fish oil DHA refers to DHA extracted from deep-sea fish oil, which is high in EPA. EPA has the effect of lowering blood lipids and thinning blood, and is suitable for the elderly and adults. Fish oil contains a percentage of EPA, which is also an unsaturated fatty acid, and early studies have found that excessive intake of EPA may affect infant weight gain.

Algal oil DHA is DHA extracted from microalgae, and from the perspective of algal oil raw materials, Cryptodinoflagellates kolei is a high-quality algae species selected from a microalgae bank containing more than 3,500 kinds of live microalgae, with high DHA purity and low EPA content, which is more suitable for infants and pregnant women. More than 140 articles have been published worldwide to prove safe and effective, and have been used in infant formula.
People breed seaweed in large stainless steel fermentation tanks, which are commonly used in the pharmaceutical, food, and biotechnology industries. According to Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), the entire production process is fully controlled to ensure that algae are clean, environmentally friendly, and not contaminated, thereby ensuring the production of safe, efficient, and pollution-free high-quality DHA.
Eating foods rich in DHA is too low, which supplement should I choose?
Currently, there are mainly fish oil DHA and algae DHA. Fish oil DHA is difficult to avoid pollution in the sea area and may result in improper control of the proportion of EPA and DHA components, and EPA also has an impact on oil and blood pressure in the body. Algae can be cultured in shallow water to avoid deep-sea pollution issues. Therefore, it is generally recommended to choose algae DHA.
