Overview
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) algal oil is a vegetarian-sourced omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid derived from marine microalgae such as *Schizochytrium* or *Crypthecodinium cohnii*. As a structural lipid, DHA is a primary component of the human brain, cerebral cortex, and retina. It functions by integrating into cellular membranes, influencing membrane fluidity, signaling pathways, and the production of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) like resolvins. It is widely used as a nutritional supplement in infant formula to support cognitive and visual development and as a dietary supplement to manage hypertriglyceridemia and support cardiovascular health.
