Sources of DHA
DHA comes from two sources:
1) marine animals origin (fish oil DHA);
2) marine microalgal origin (microalgal oil DHA).
Fish oil DHA contains large quantities of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), which cannot be well separated from DHA, and organic pollutants caused by contaminating the ocean. EPA is another long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid, which counteracts the positive effect of ARA and DHA in infant-bodies. So EPA is harmful to the natural development of infants.
Microalgal oil DHA is extracted from microalgal that are cultivated by using fermentation technology in a well-controlled environment. Some of the microalgal species(after careful screening) do not contain EPA. Microalgal oil DHA(especially the product of FUXING) does not have a fishy smell, does not contain cholestrol ,EPA and organic pollutants. It is the safest source of DHA. Therefore, Microalgal DHA is particularly suitable for enriching infant foods and used as food additives for the pregnant and milk feeding women.
The Tinnew DHA is microalgal oil DHA, with high quality and safe.
