Veggunn Algae Omega-3 DHA is a dietary supplement based on Schyzochitrium sp microalgae oil, contained in vegetable softgel capsules (pearls). Veggunn Algae Omega-3 DHA reaches 99% DHA content, with only 1% EPA and other medium and long chains of omega-3. This high performance is achieved thanks to the purity of the original source of 50% microalgae, fermented in Europe. DHA is an essential polyunsaturated fatty acid from long chains of omega-3. They are part of the membranes of our cells. In addition, they have an anti-inflammatory effect and participate in the neurodevelopment of the cognitive system. These functions make them especially interesting in preventing cardiovascular diseases and in the development and maturation of the nervous system. It is important for the proper functioning of brain functions (as it participates in neurogenesis, in the migration of neurons from ventricular areas to the periphery, in myelination, and in synaptogenesis). Omega-3 DHA is essential for maintaining vision and the cognitive system, as well as preventing cardiovascular risk. - Where we get DHA We can find DHA naturally in breast milk. Blue fish is a secondary source of this fatty acid. The original source of omega-3 is found in some seaweeds, as it is the food of these fish that obtain it from them. In this way, vegans or vegetarians can find omega-3 according to their diet. Although the body obtains DHA through food, the amounts synthesized are very low and a large volume of these products would have to be ingested to achieve favorable levels of this essential fatty acid. This could be a problem, especially with blue fish: its heavy metal content, if consumed in excess, tends to accumulate in the basal ganglia of the brain, which hinders neuronal communication, slowing it down. - Veggunn Algae DHA advantages It is a product manufactured in Spain, with European quality standards. The natural oils of microalgae extract used in the production of Veggunn Algae DHA Algae contain high mineral content, but Veggunn DHA does NOT contain iodine, to avoid any interaction concerning the thyroid.
