Nordic Naturals DHA Xtra
by Nordic Naturals
"High-DHA fish oil with 1660mg DHA per serving — targeted brain and eye support with Nordic Naturals' premium triglyceride form"
Overview
Nordic Naturals DHA Xtra provides a DHA-dominant fish oil formula with 1660mg DHA and 440mg EPA per 2-softgel serving. While most fish oils emphasize EPA, DHA Xtra flips the ratio for those specifically targeting brain health, eye health, and cognitive function. DHA makes up 97% of the omega-3 fats in the brain and 93% in the retina, making it the critical omega-3 for neurological function. The triglyceride form ensures superior absorption over ethyl ester alternatives.
