During digestion, the body breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can then be absorbed into the blood. Our bodies cannot produce EPA or DHA, which we can get through diet and supplementation. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have different roles and actions in the body. Not only do our bodies need these fatty acids to function, but they also deliver certain health benefits. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and brain function while DHA and EPA together contribute to the normal function of the heart and other vital functions in the body. This product contains 30 veg softgels and is suitable for vegans as well. | Key Ingredients: Natural Algal Oil DHA & EPA | Key Benefits: Vegan DHA supplement that can be used by people of all ages Helps maintain healthy cognitive functioning Helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels, keeps the blood vessels from clogging, and promotes heart health Important for retinal structure and helps maintain healthy vision Also helps protect the eyes from macular degeneration and dryness Can also help keep the skin hydrated and protect from sun damage Relieves inflammation and aids joint mobility | Directions For Use: Take One (1) or Two (2) Veg Soft Gel Capsules in a day after meals or as recommended by a health care professional Do not exceed the recommended daily usage The capsule should be swallowed with water, not to be chewed | Safety Instructions: Do not exceed the stated recommended daily usage Read the label carefully before use Store in a cool and dry place, away from sunlight Keep out of reach of the children
