Vegetarian DHA
Targeted brain support
For you, if you want a vegetarian omega-3 supplement for brain and eye health
The sustainably-sourced algae in Vegetarian DHA can:
- Support healthy cognitive function
- Promote healthy moods in people of all ages
- Help maintain eye health
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an important polyunsaturated fatty acid found in the brain. In particular, high levels of DHA can be found in brain synapses, the communication pathways between neurons. Insufficient levels of DHA can affect the cognitive function, especially for those who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet.

Brain Health, Learning & Healthy Mood
The omega-3 fatty acid DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) comprises 40% of the polyunsaturated fats in the brain.
Brain synapses, the connections that allow neurons to communicate, contain a higher concentration of DHA than nearly any other tissue in the body. (1) DHA promotes the development of neuronal features essential for learning. (2)
Studies show that DHA is necessary for producing essential neuroprotectins that support healthy cell signaling in the brain. (3,4)
Researchers are particularly interested in how adequate DHA levels in healthy individuals may promote normal mood and behavior in both adults and children, as well as normal cognitive function at any age. (2,3,5)
Eye Health and Much more
DHA is also a major structural in the eye retina, accounting for up to 60% of the total polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). (1)
Extensive research shows that this vital fatty acid plays a crucial role in our bodies, including promoting a healthy inflammatory response, supporting brain blood flow, enhancing cardiovascular health, maintaining a healthy metabolism, and more. (6-9)
DHA from Sustainable Algae Sources
Research has discovered that DHA levels in body tissues are significantly lower in vegans and vegetarians compared to those who eat animal-sourced foods regularly. (10) That is why taking a supplement becomes necessary.
So, Life Extension has developed a premium DHA formulation derived from sustainable algae sources.
Made with highly refined DHA oil, derived entirely from algae cells, it meets the most rigid standards of vegan and vegetarian diets and is ideal for anyone who wishes to supplement their DHA intake.
