Vegan DHAhi
Zenwise
Overview
Zenwise Vegan DHAhi provides a good dose of DHA from algal oil, a highly effective and absorbable source of this crucial omega-3 fatty acid. The inclusion of Ahiflower oil delivers ALA, SDA, and GLA which contribute to a broader fatty acid profile and offer pathways to EPA. While the DHA dose is effective for general well-being, the overall effectiveness of the Ahiflower blend in significantly raising EPA/GLA beyond other dietary sources is promising but requires more extensive long-term research specific to this combination.
The Good
Excellent plant-based source of DHA, suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
Comparable DHA bioavailability to fish oil, ensuring effective absorption.
Sustainable and environmentally friendly omega-3 source, reducing reliance on conventional marine sources.
The Bad
The dose of GLA (20mg) from Ahiflower oil is relatively low compared to therapeutic doses typically studied for specific benefits (e.g., 240-480mg for diabetic neuropathy).
While Ahiflower oil contains SDA, a precursor to EPA, this product does not directly provide EPA, which is often a key component of fish oil supplements.
May be more expensive than conventional fish oil supplements.
