What is the difference between algae DHA and fish DHA? !

Fish DHA: mainly extracted from deep-sea fish oil. DHA extracted from fish has the following characteristics:

1. Although the DHA content of fish oil is relatively high, the EPA content is also relatively high, which has an adverse effect on the production of ARA in the child's body.

2. The high content of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) makes the proportion of DHA too low, which is quite different from breast milk and does not meet the physiological needs of children.

3. Fishes are contaminated by heavy metals such as mercury and lead or harmful substances such as arsenic to varying degrees, and their safety is low.

4. DHA extracted from deep-sea fish oil is beneficial to the elderly and adults because EPA has the effect of lowering blood lipids and thinning blood

Algae DHA: is extracted from algae. In contrast, algae is currently the purest and safest source of DHA in the world.

1. Algae has high DHA content and extremely low EPA content. If DHA is extracted from algae, the ratio of DHA to EPA is 20:1, and if it is extracted from fish oil, it is 4~5:1.

2. The algae extraction is pure natural plant-based, without fishy smell, and strong antioxidant capacity. If deep-sea fish oil is extracted, its properties are more active and it is easy to oxidize and become fishy.

3. DHA extracted from algae is most conducive to the absorption of infants and young children, and can effectively promote the development of the baby's retina.

Comparison of algae oil DHA and fish oil DHA

A source

Fish oil DHA: animal source, mainly from deep-sea fish. Extracted from fish fat, there may be food chain transmission and product contamination.

Algae DHA: pure plant source, microalgae, directly extracted from marine single-cell algae, without passing through the food chain, without any organic solvents, safe and pollution-free.

2 content

Fish oil DHA: Contain EPA, DHA and EPA simultaneously increase or decrease, DHA: EPA=4:1 or 5:1

Algae DHA: DHA has high purity and extremely low EPA content.

3 fishy smell

Fish oil DHA: The fish oil is easy to oxidize during the extraction process and has a heavy smell, which affects the taste and flavor of the final product.

Algae DHA: derived from pure natural seaweed, plant DHA, advanced antioxidant formula, natural taste, not easy to smell, easy to be absorbed by the body.

4 raw materials

Fish oil DHA: It is recognized as a fish oil extract rather than a direct source of DHA. (The reason why fish contains DHA is mainly because the fish consumes DHA-rich seaweed, which is eventually passed through the food chain and accumulated in the fish.)

Algae DHA: refined from pure natural seaweed raw materials, directly extracted from marine single-cell seaweed, natural and pure.

5 role

Fish oil DHA: contains EPA, which can reduce blood fat and thin blood viscosity for the elderly.

Algae DHA: The content of EPA is extremely low, which can promote the baby's brain and vision development and make the baby more intelligent.

Algae DHA is the only DHA approved by the U.S. FDA that can be added to foods for infants and young children. It meets the EU raw material standards and can be confirmed as a natural safety level. It is recommended for pregnant women and infants.
