DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is a long-chain omega-3 naturally present in brain, retina and cardiovascular cells. Unlike fish-oil omega-3s, Dynveo’s vegan DHA is extracted directly from Schizochytrium sp. microalgae — the very organism that gives cold-water fish their DHA richness. Going straight to the plant source eliminates any risk of heavy metal or marine pollutant (PCBs, dioxins) contamination that can accumulate in fish. The microalgae is grown in closed, fully controlled tanks, far from ocean pollution, with a TOTOX oxidation index below 2, showing excellent oxidative stability with no synthetic antioxidants.

EFSA has validated several DHA claims: it contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function, normal vision, and (from 250mg/day) normal heart function. These apply directly, as this product provides exactly 250mg DHA per capsule. DHA makes up about 97% of the brain’s total omega-3 and is a key component of neuronal membranes, supporting memory, focus and general cognitive function; it also makes up over 90% of retinal omega-3s. Dynveo’s formula pairs DHA with 150mg L-Lysine, an essential amino acid that acts as a natural stabiliser and improves DHA bioavailability — a combination said to reach roughly five times higher bioavailability than standard ethyl ester forms.

Take 1 capsule a day, preferably with a meal and a glass of water, to maximise absorption of lipophilic actives. A 60-capsule bottle covers two months at one capsule a day — the EFSA-validated daily dose. A minimum 3-month course is recommended for lasting effects on cognition, vision and cardiovascular comfort.

For adults only. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Pregnant or breastfeeding women and those on anticoagulant treatment should seek medical advice before any omega-3 supplementation. Store at room temperature, in a dry place away from light, out of reach of children.

Why choose microalgae DHA over fish oil?

Microalgae DHA is the original source — fish accumulate it by eating algae. Going directly to the plant source gives pure DHA with no heavy metal, PCB or marine pollutant risk, and is 100% vegan.

How should I take these capsules?

One capsule a day with a meal covers the recommended daily DHA intake; taking it with some dietary fat improves fatty-acid absorption.

Is this suitable during pregnancy?

DHA is important for fetal brain development, but any supplementation during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be approved by a healthcare professional first.
