Nordic Naturals Algae DHA

Overview

Nordic Naturals Algae DHA is a plant-based omega-3 supplement designed to provide DHA, the form of omega-3 fatty acid commonly associated with brain, cognitive, and eye health support. Each two-soft-gel serving supplies 500 mg of DHA, making this a concentrated algae-derived option for people looking for a vegan source of this nutrient.

The DHA in this formula comes from Schizochytrium sp., a unicellular marine microalga that naturally produces DHA. Nordic Naturals also uses the triglyceride form of omega-3s, which the company notes is better absorbed than ethyl ester omega-3s. In addition, each batch is third-party tested for environmental toxins, including heavy metals, and the product is stated to meet or exceed strict international standards for purity and freshness.

This supplement is positioned as a practical option for vegetarian and vegan diets, which may not provide enough DHA on their own. It is also described as sustainably sourced, certified vegan, Igen™ non-GMO tested, and offered by the brand identified as the number one algae oil brand in the USA based on annual sales data.
