Most people believe that fish are a rich source of DHA, when in fact fish get DHA from the algae in their foodchain. DHA goes straight to the source, producing DHA from the same microalgae sources fish get it from. Grown in a controlled environment, DHA is a vegetarian and sustainable source of DHA.
DHA's manufacturing plants specialize in the production and refinement of DHA from algae. The process begins with the initial algae cell culture and results in a highly purified DHA oil. The microalgae are grown in fermentors that range in size from 80,000 to 260,000 liters. When grown, the microalgae is then harvested and processed to extract the clear, amber-colored oil rich in DHA.
