Product Overview
Our DHA Algal Oil represents the pinnacle of sustainable omega-3 innovation. As a primary producer at the source of the aquatic food chain, our microalgae-based DHA is free from ocean-borne contaminants, providing a clean, reliable, and vegetarian-friendly source of this critical nutrient. DHA is a major structural fat in the brain and retina, making it crucial for cognitive function and visual acuity from infancy to old age. Our oil is processed using advanced technology to preserve its integrity and bioavailability, ensuring your products deliver the intended health benefits effectively and safely. It is the ideal choice for manufacturers committed to quality, sustainability, and performance.
Technical Advantages
Choosing our DHA Algal Oil provides distinct technical and market benefits:
Sustainable & Vegetarian: Plant-based algal origin makes it suitable for vegan/vegetarian products and addresses concerns about overfishing and ocean sustainability.
Exceptional Purity & Safety: Free from oceanic pollutants such as heavy metals, PCBs, and dioxins, ensuring a cleaner and safer product compared to many fish oils.
High Concentration & Flexibility: With options ranging from 40% to 70% DHA, we offer solutions for cost-effective fortification to high-potency applications.
Superior Stability Profile: Advanced antioxidant protection and processing techniques minimize oxidation, extending the shelf life of the oil and your final product.
Enhanced Absorption (SN-2 Form): Our specialized 40% SN-2 DHA oil features DHA predominantly in the SN-2 position of the triglyceride molecule, mimicking the structure of human milk fat for improved digestion and absorption, especially in infants.
Application Scenarios
Our DHA Algal Oil is versatile and serves multiple industries:
Infant Nutrition: A vital ingredient in infant formula and growing-up milk to support healthy brain and visual development. The SN-2 DHA variant is particularly optimized for this application.
Dietary Supplements: Perfect for prenatal vitamins, children's softgels, adult cognitive support supplements, and cardiovascular health products.
Functional Foods & Beverages: Easily incorporated into milk, yogurt, health drinks, spreads, and nutritional bars to create DHA-fortified functional foods.
Pharmaceuticals: Used in therapeutic formulations aimed at supporting cognitive health and managing inflammatory conditions.
Animal Nutrition: Applied in premium pet food to support the neurological health and shiny coats of companion animals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is DHA, and why is it important?
A: DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) is an omega-3 fatty acid that is a primary structural component of the brain and retina. It is essential for optimal cognitive function, visual development, and cardiovascular health throughout life.
Q2: Why choose algal DHA over fish oil?
A: Algal DHA is the original source of DHA in the food chain. It is a sustainable, vegetarian-friendly, and cleaner option, as it is produced in a controlled environment without exposure to ocean pollutants.
Q3: What are the key differences between your four DHA oil types?
A: The 40%, 50%, and 70% refer to the concentration of DHA, allowing for formulation flexibility. The 40% SN-2 is a specialized form where the DHA is structured similarly to human milk, leading to significantly better absorption and reduced likelihood of forming soapy stools in infants.
Q4: Is your DHA Algal Oil safe for infants and pregnant women?
A: Yes. Our DHA Algal Oil is produced under strict quality controls and is approved for use in infant formula and maternal supplements worldwide. It is free from allergens and contaminants.
Q5: How should I store DHA Algal Oil?
A: To preserve its quality, store the oil in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place (below 25°C), away from light and heat. Under these conditions, the shelf life is as indicated in the specifications table.
Q6: Is your DHA Algal Oil non-GMO and allergen-free?
A: Yes, we offer a non-GMO project verified option, and our DHA Algal Oil is free from major allergens like gluten, dairy, soy, and nuts.
Q7: What is the shelf life of your DHA oils?
A: Our 40%, 50%, and SN-2 variants have a 24-month shelf life. The higher concentration 70% oil has an 18-month shelf life due to its higher unsaturated fat content.
Q8: Can I use your DHA oil in powder formulations?
A: Absolutely. Our DHA oils can be seamlessly microencapsulated and spray-dried into powder forms for use in milk powders, single-serve sachets, and other dry applications.
Q9: What is SN-2 DHA, and why is it better for infant formula?
A: In SN-2 DHA, the DHA molecule is attached to the middle (SN-2) position of the triglyceride. This structure is more stable and is absorbed more efficiently by infants, mimicking the benefits of breast milk more closely and reducing digestive issues.
Q10: Do you offer custom formulations and bulk orders?
A: Yes, we specialize in providing tailored solutions. Our technical and sales teams are ready to discuss custom concentrations, blends, and bulk pricing to meet your specific project requirements.
