The body can only make a small amount of DHA from other fatty acids, so you need to consume it directly from food or a supplement.

DHA may help prevent or improve chronic conditions, such as heart disease, certain cancers, Alzheimer’s disease, depression and inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.

oil product with the best available refining and processing techniques, resulting in a first-class product of high-DHA algal oil that is free of odour and taste. Such features open up a whole new range of applications that were previously off limits for traditional fish and algal oil products, as it is
commonly an ingredient that tends to have a strong impact on the sensory quality of the final product. Product characteristics include:
■ high-DHA concentration of 40–80% DHA as ethyl ester (EE) and triglyceride (TG) forms
■ flavourless and odourless ■ EU organic certification (Skal) ■ vegan, kosher and halal certification ■ no solvent extraction ■ full traceability from fermentation to final product
The oil can be incorporated in a variety of delivery systems such as gummies, chewables and direct intake emulsions or powders. In addition to the use of oils, encapsulated powders are available when dry mixing of ingredients is required. Compared with traditional hard caps and soft gels, supplements in the form of gummies can be more appealing and convenient. The chewiness and flavourings such as orange, cherry and raspberry, make them attractive to children and adults alike. Progress Biotech’s own quality- assurance methods guarantee superior standards and specifications that stand out in this rapidly developing market.●
