Identity and product form
Algal DHA is a dietary source of docosahexaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid. The source organism and the amount of DHA should be distinguishable on the product label.
Sources: National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements
What the reviewed evidence can and cannot show
NIH’s omega-3 fact sheet discusses EPA and DHA across food and supplement sources. Findings for a particular health outcome depend on population, outcome and product; this entry does not treat algal DHA as interchangeable with every omega-3 intervention.
