摘要

Algal source of omega-3s is good for supplementation of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a 22 carbon chain omega-3, and docosapenaenoic acid (DPA), a 22 carbon chain omega-6. Each together and idependently mediate cellular membrane functions to sustain our vascular health. The ratio of DHA and DPA between breast milk and micro algae is comparable and found safe. Hence, supplementation as a component of food is now being accepted at all levels. That option has proven safe for vegetarians, type 2 diabetics, the elderly, and those with fish allergies. DHA is also recommended for pregnant and nursing mothers as a supplement, especially during the third trimester and when nursing. Imperatively, the omega-3 bond can be a powerful co-therapy.
