What DHA3Sure™ Is
DHA3Sure™ is docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) sourced from microalgae cultivated in closed, controlled fermentation — not extracted from fish. Algae are the original biological producers of long-chain omega-3s; fish accumulate DHA only by eating algae and DHA-rich smaller fish. Request current contaminant testing for the selected grade and lot.
Why an Algal Source
For a growing share of finished-product brands — particularly in pediatric, prenatal, vegan, vegetarian, and clean-label categories — algal DHA is the only acceptable source. Certification and application suitability must be checked for the selected grade.
Mechanism
DHA is a structural component of cell membranes throughout the body, with particularly high concentrations in the brain, retina, and cardiovascular tissues. Adequate dietary DHA supports normal cell-membrane fluidity and the structural integrity of neural and visual tissues. DHA also serves as a substrate for resolvins and protectins — endogenous mediators involved in the resolution of normal inflammatory processes.
