1. Product Description
DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) is the N-3 polyunsaturatedfattyacid (N-3pufa). having 22 carbon atoms and 6 unsaturated double bonds, which start at the methyl end on the third carbon atom.
DHA oi  is refined from crude oil derived from fermentation of the marine algae (Schizochytrium sp.), deep-sea single-celled algae.
