Omega-3 DHA fatty acid is most commonly derived from coldwater fish. Researchers looking for a vegetarian source of DHA established that the fish actually obtain DHA from their diet of algae. The result? Scientists are now able to extract rich, nutritional DHA from these aquatic plants. Silk uses lifesDHA algal oil, a 100% vegetarian and sustainable source of Omega-3 DHA. 1 Choudhury N., Tan L., Truswell A.S.
