Opti-DHA™ (Enteric Coated)

Opti-DHA^TM enteric-coated softgels contain a novel ratio of essential omega-3 fatty acids derived from a marine lipid concentrate. Processed by molecular distillation, Opti-DHA provides 450 mg of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and 150 mg eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) per serving.

It has an enteric coating that eliminates the “fishy” taste associated sometimes with the consumption of this type of supplements. The benefits of omega-3 fatty acids continue to rise and numerous health organizations around the world recommend increasing their intake.

Maternal DHA intake is favourable throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding, as it contributes to normal brain and eye development of the fetus and breastfed infant. A mother can obtain these beneficial effects with a daily intake of 200 mg of extra DHA, on top of the recommended 250 mg EPA + DHA intake for adults. Since DHA is a building block for lipids in the brain and eyes, adequate amounts of DHA (i.e. at least 250 mg/day) are recommended throughout adulthood to maintain normal brain function and vision.
