DHA-PS is a food supplement providing 500 mg of DHA and 100 mg of phosphatidylserine per daily dose. DHA helps maintain normal brain function and vision.
The formula combines Omegatex® fish oil with Sharp-PS® Green phosphatidylserine derived from sunflower lecithin. Its 120 soft capsules are small, easy to swallow and free from any fishy smell or taste.
How to choose DHA and phosphatidylserine
The daily amount of DHA is the primary purchasing criterion. The beneficial effect on normal brain function and the maintenance of normal vision is achieved with 250 mg of DHA per day. DHA-PS provides 500 mg per daily dose.
The origin and form of the oil are the final factors in making your choice. Omegatex® contains 50 per cent DHA and 10 per cent EPA; the DHA is in the form of triglycerides and is sourced from sustainable marine sources. Its IFOS certification guarantees standards of purity, freshness and potency.
Sharp-PS® Green provides phosphatidylserine derived from sunflower lecithin sourced from sustainable European crops. This plant-based source is soya-free and offers a specific option for those wishing to avoid soya.
DHA and neuronal membranes
DHA forms part of the phospholipids in neuronal membranes and is present in high concentrations in the retina. Its presence promotes membrane fluidity and plays a role in communication between neurons.
Phosphatidylserine is a structural component of cell membranes and is found in high concentrations in the cerebral cortex. In neurons, it acts as a functional platform for membrane components such as DHA.
The oil creates a lipophilic environment that promotes the solubilisation of phosphatidylserine during digestion. Combining both ingredients in a single capsule makes it easy and convenient to take them together.
