Spectrum DHA

One softgel of refined fish oil with 580 mg DHA and 130 mg EPA to support brain, eye and nervous system health.

What it is

Spectrum DHA is a concentrated fish oil softgel weighted toward DHA. Each softgel delivers 580 mg DHA and 130 mg EPA from highly refined, concentrated omega-3 oil sourced from anchovy, jack mackerel, mackerel and sardine. Natural tocopherols, rosemary leaf extract and ascorbyl palmitate are included to keep the oil fresh. The label states it is formulated to be free of allergens derived from gluten, corn, yeast, and artificial colors or flavors.

Who it's for

For an adult, or a child under practitioner guidance, who needs a meaningful DHA dose in a single softgel. DHA is a structural fat in brain and retinal cell membranes and supports normal brain and eye function. EPA works alongside it in cell signaling. The softgel format suits someone who can swallow a capsule; the listing notes the softgel can be pierced and the oil mixed into food for those who cannot.

Format and how to take

No children's dose is given, so ask your practitioner about use for children. The listing suggests taking it with a meal. Keep the container tightly closed and store at room temperature.
