Vege DHA
Vege DHA is the first all vegan source Omega 3 oil with added vegan
source DHA in a Veggie-Gel capsule.
What Do Good Oils Do?
Good Oils or Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) are vital for eye and
brain development, hormone production, cardiovascular support, healthy
skin and hair, transport and breakdown of cholesterol, control of
inflammation, joint health and emotional well-being. Essential fatty
acids also help to regulate insulin and appear to minimize damage to the
heart, eyes, nerves, and kidneys in all forms of diabetes. Essential
Fatty Acids are considered a concentrated source of energy and are
stored as glycogen deposits in the muscles and liver. Enzymes can
convert the glycogen into glucose to burn as energy.
The body cannot create Essential Fatty Acids they must come from your
diet. Some of the best foods containing these fats are fish, flax seed
oil, algae oil, pumpkin seed oil and sunflower seed oil. There are three
major types of omega 3 fatty acids: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA),
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The body
converts ALA to EPA and DHA, which are the two types of omega-3 fatty
acids used in the body. The Omega 6 fatty acid is Linoleic Acid and
Omega 9 fatty acid is Oleic Acid. Vegetarian DHA
DHA, up until recently, was only available in concentration through
certain types of fish. This form of supplement began making dramatic
differences in people lives. So dramatic were these changes that fish
oils supplements became one of the most widely used supplements. But
what about the vegetarians, the people allergic to fish or people who
were genuinely concerned about the fish population of our planet, what
are they to do?
Well, thanks to some like-minded people, another concentrated form,
once again a gift from the sea, was made available to consumers in the
form of algae oil. Life's DHA™ has developed a vegetarian source of DHA,
derived from the algae Schizochitrium sp. Their FDA inspected plant
grows this form of algae under strict conditions. It is then harvested
and refined thorough a series of all organic processes to create a
highly concentrated form of purified DHA oil. Research has shown that
the fish DHA and algae-based DHA have produced the same effect. In a
recent study the two forms of DHA were assessed for bioavailability. A
28-day randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group study compared
bioavailability, at doses of 200, 600 and 1000 mg. The bioavailability
was based on changes in plasma phospholipid and erythrocyte DHA levels.
The algae oil delivered amounts of DHA equivalent to that of the fish
oil.
