Ingredients explained
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) (from algae oil, Schizochytrium sp.)
DHA integrates into cell membranes in the brain, eyes, and heart, where it supports membrane fluidity and signaling and is studied for roles in a balanced inflammatory response.
Caution: Take with food to enhance tolerance; consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, nursing, on medications, or have a medical condition because omega-3 fats can interact with certain therapies.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Do not exceed the recommended dose. Do not use if the outer seal is broken or damaged. Consult a physician if you are being treated for a medical condition or if you are pregnant or lactating.
Who should be cautious: People with fish or shellfish allergies may want to confirm algae-sourced DHA suitability. Those with bleeding concerns or on anticoagulants may use caution with omega-3 supplements. If on medications or have a medical condition, discuss with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place.

Product information
- Gluten Free
- Non GMO LE Certified
- Algae-Sourced Omega-3 For Brain, Eye and Heart Health
- Dietary Supplement
The omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) accounts for 40% of the polyunsaturated fats in the brain. Brain synapses—the connectors through which neurons communicate with each other—have a higher concentration of DHA than almost any other tissue in the body. DHA stimulates the production of neuronal features that underlie learning.
Healthy mood support (at all ages)
Studies show that DHA is required for the production of essential neuroprotectins to support healthy cell signaling in the brain. In fact, scientists have been focusing research specifically on how sufficient levels of DHA in healthy individuals may support normal mood and behavior in adults and children, as well as normal cognitive function at any age.
Eye health and more
DHA is also a major structural fat in the retina of the eye, accounting for up to 60% of the total polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). A wealth of research demonstrates that this important fatty acid plays an important role in our bodies, including helping promote a healthy inflammatory response, supporting blood flow in the brain, promoting cardiovascular health, supporting healthy metabolism and more.
Sustainably sourced DHA
Scientific research has found that the proportions of DHA in body tissue are substantially lower in vegans and vegetarians compared to people who regularly eat animal-sourced foods. So, Life Extension developed a DHA formulation derived from sustainable algae sources. Made with a highly refined DHA oil derived entirely from algae cells in culture, it meets the most rigid standards of vegan and vegetarian diets—but is also ideal for virtually everyone who wishes to supplement their DHA intake.
