Omega 3 fatty acids are important nutrients in protecting the health of the cardiovascular, nervous and visual systems.

Specifically, DHA is a very important polyunsaturated fatty acid for maintaining the health of the body, representing 60% of all unsaturated fatty acids present in the brain and 40% of all acids present in the retina.

It is an essential nutrient as it is involved in many processes of the body:
cerebral development, foetal development, ideal development of motor skills and visual acuity in infants, lipid metabolism, cognitive support in the elderly, certain types of cancer...

Currently, the best source of pure DHA comes from a controlled fermentation process of two types of microalgae: Crypthecodinium cohnii and Schizochytrium.

These algae accumulate EPA and DHA in the form of triglyceride microdroplets (oil) and phospholipids. Of these two forms, the most interesting supply of omega 3 is through phospholipids since:
• It has a higher bioavailability of DHA.
• It is more stable against oxidation.
Instead of algae oil, fish oils are composed almost exclusively of triglycerides, providing DHA but with low bioavailability.

Benefits of DHA
– Pregnancy
During pregnancy, women have increased needs for fatty acids, as the foetus obtains these same acids directly from the parent.

Main benefits of DHA:
• Prevent premature birth (increase gestational age);
• Prevent eclampsia (seizures during pregnancy);
• Increase birth weight;
• Enhanced brain development of the foetus;
• Reduced risk of cerebral palsy.
On the other hand, women during pregnancy and after childbirth are more vulnerable to psychiatric disorders (depression), with estimates suggesting that 5 to 20% of pregnant women are affected.
Epidemiological data have shown that low consumption of marine foods (rich in DHA) during pregnancy is related to elevated levels of depressive symptoms.

– Eye system
DHA is a precursor to an epithelial pigment called neuroprotectin D1, which prevents inflammation and cell death caused by oxidative stress and other factors.

Main benefits of DHA:
• Protects the retina against degeneration.

– Cardiovascular system:
DHA is a fatty acid related to the cardiovascular system, and its consumption positively affects health.

Main benefits of DHA:
• Antithrombotic: reduces platelet aggregation.
• Antiarrhythmic: prevents ventricular tachycardia.
• Anti-hyperlipidemic: reduces triglycerides and increases HDL-cholesterol.
• Antihypertensive: lowers high blood pressure without affecting normotensive individuals.
• Anti-inflammatory: inhibits inflammatory markers such as cytokines and prostaglandins.

– Central Nervous System
DHA is the main element of neuronal membranes and has a positive effect on: cellular permeability, quantity and structure of receptors, transport of nutrients in and out of the cell, enzymatic activity, cell-to-cell communication...

Main benefits of DHA:
• Prevents cognitive decline in adults.
• Reduces neuronal apoptosis.• Facilitates neurotransmitter recycling
