DHA Triglyceride is a high-concentration docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) fish oil formula for those needing intensive nutritional support from this essential fatty acid. DHA is a fatty acid well-known for its role in cardiovascular and cognitive health and boosting mood, memory, and focus. It is sourced from waters off the Chilean coast, where cold, fresh waters provide the cleanest, most sustainable source of fish in the world. Each soft gel delivers 580 mg of DHA in the natural triglyceride form for superior absorption. This high concentration DHA fish oil is purified, vacuum-distilled, and independently tested to ensure heavy metals, pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are removed to undetectable levels.

Fish Oil Delivery – Triglycerides vs. Ethyl Esters

While the amount of EPA and DHA provided in a fish oil product is important for efficacy, the type of fish oil delivered is another significant factor in defining fish oil effectiveness. The human body is accustomed to digesting and absorbing EPA and DHA in the natural triglyceride form. A review of the existing literature has shown that fish oil provided in the natural triglyceride form is more efficiently digested and is 70% more absorbable than the ethyl ester form.

Omega-3 Depletion

An accumulating body of research shows that the typical modern diet does not provide a sufficient amount of omega-3s for optimal health. Symptoms of general omega-3 deficiency are common and often overlooked. These symptoms may include dry, itchy or flaky skin, poor sleep quality, poor circulation, eye discomfort and mood imbalance.

Cardiovascular Health

DHA has been found to have positive effects on key aspects of cardiovascular health, including balancing blood lipids, stabilizing cardiac function and increasing relaxation of arteries to help support normal blood pressure levels.

Ocular and Cognitive Health

The retina is a specialized portion of the nervous system that has one of the highest levels of long-chain fatty acids in the human body, and it is especially high in DHA. In adults, fish and DHA intake reduced age-related visual concerns, according to several studies.

Maternal and Infant Health

Research has confirmed that maternal fatty acid levels, especially DHA levels, steadily drop in late pregnancy, increasing risk for postpartum mood changes. Rapid growth in the brain occurs during the last trimester of pregnancy and the first several postnatal months; therefore, the need for maternal DHA is critical during these months for brain development.
