What is the difference between algae oil DHA and fish oil DHA? How should mothers choose?

Nature's DHA is mainly found in algae and certain fungi. Fish (especially deep-sea fish) feed on algae and therefore store a large amount of DHA in their bodies. Fish oil DHA is actually synthesized by algae and then stored in the fish through the food chain. So what is the difference between algae oil and fish oil?

1. Source

Deep sea fish oil DHA: animal source, mainly from deep sea fish. Extracted from fish fat, there is a possibility of contamination through the food chain causing product contamination. Algae DHA: pure plant source, microalgae; extracted directly from marine single-cell algae, not passed through the food chain, does not contain any organic solvents, safe and pollution-free. 2. Content

Deep sea fish oil DHA: contains EPA, DHA and EPA increase or decrease at the same time, DHA: EPA = 4:1 or 5:1 Algae DHA: DHA is of high purity and does not contain EPA (EPA cannot promote the development of the nervous system and can easily cause precocious puberty in children).

3. Fishy smell

Deep sea fish oil DHA: The fish oil is easily oxidized during the fishing and extraction process, and has a strong fishy smell, which affects the taste and flavor of the final product. Algae DHA: extracted from pure natural seaweed, plant-based DHA, advanced antioxidant formula, natural taste, not easy to have fishy smell, easily absorbed by the human body.

4. Raw materials

Deep sea fish oil DHA: recognized as a fish oil extract rather than a direct source of DHA. Algae DHA: Refined from pure natural seaweed raw materials, extracted directly from marine single-cell seaweed, natural and pure.

5. Function

Deep sea fish oil DHA: contains EPA, which can lower blood lipids and dilute blood viscosity for the elderly. Algae DHA: Contains no EPA. Adding DHA+ALA promotes brain and vision development, making your baby twice as smart.
