Algae-derived DHA capsules
• Helps to support neurological function
• Provides 400 mg DHA from algal oil per daily dose

Super Neurogen DHA is an effective source of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA that helps to support neuronal health. DHA is the most abundant omega-3 fatty acid in the brain, where it mediates cell differentiation, apoptosis, and the transportation of ions across channels.¹ It is also present on neuronal synapses, demonstrating its primary role in supporting cognitive function.² DHA supplementation has also been associated with the maintenance of neuron function in the hippocampus, a region of the brain associated with memory.¹ Recent research demonstrates that DHA deficiency decreases the level of brain-derived neurotropic factor in the hypothalamus and hippocampus, which is necessary for brain plasticity and function.³ Neuroprotectin D1, a metabolite of DHA, has also been shown to maintain neuronal cell function after exposure to oxidative stress.⁴
