Why do you need DHA?
DHA is an Omega-3 fatty acid the body uses in the brain, the retina and the heart. It does not make enough of it on its own, so you take it from your diet — and the rich sources are almost exclusively marine.
Normal brain function
“DHA contributes to maintenance of normal brain function.”*

Maintenance of normal vision
“DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.”*
Authorised health claim
Normal function of the heart
“EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart.”**
Authorised health claim
* Beneficial effect obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA. One daily dose (2 softgels) provides 600 mg DHA. ** Beneficial effect obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA+DHA. One daily dose provides 900 mg EPA+DHA.
The source
Where do fish get their Omega-3?
From algae. Fish do not produce DHA — they accumulate it by eating microalgae. We take the oil straight from the source and skip the middleman.
“I had no idea where fish get their Omega-3. When you explain it like that, it makes sense — why not take it straight from the source?”

No fishy taste
It is not fish oil refined until it loses its taste. It has never passed through a fish — so it has no taste to leave behind.
No accumulated contaminants
The algae grow in controlled fermenters, not in the ocean. No mercury and no microplastics by design, not by filtration.
No pressure on fish stocks
Microalgae oil requires no fish to be caught. Production is controlled and does not depend on the season, on fishing quotas or on the state of the ocean.
The numbers that matter
How do you read an Omega-3 label?
You look at the milligrams of DHA, not the milligrams of oil. They are not the same thing — the oil is the vehicle, DHA and EPA are the substance.
“1000 mg fish oil” on a label does not mean 1000 mg of Omega-3. Many products on the shelf deliver under 250 mg DHA per recommended daily dose — below the threshold at which EFSA recognises the effect.
per daily dose
The daily dose = 2 softgels. That is 2.4× the 250 mg threshold at which EFSA recognises the effect for brain and vision.

Composition
What is in the bottle
No long ingredient lists. Microalgae oil, a plant-based shell and antioxidants that keep the oil fresh. Tap the points on the bottle.
Tap a number on the bottle
68% microalgae oil
Oil from Schizochytrium sp., a source of DHA and EPA. The algae grow in controlled fermenters, not in the ocean.
Natural triglyceride
The form in which Omega-3 occurs in nature — the same one you find in fish, because fish also take it from algae.
Qualitysilver®
A patented process (Polaris OmegaVie®) that keeps the oil fresh for longer. Alongside tocopherol-rich extract, sunflower lecithin and rosemary extract.
Plant-based softgel
Modified pea starch, glycerol and carrageenan. No gelatine, so suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
None declarable
No fish, crustaceans, soy, gluten, lactose and no GMOs. Made in the EU, from an ingredient authorised as a Novel Food.
60 softgels, 30 days
The recommended dose is 2 softgels a day, ideally with your main meal. One bottle covers exactly one month.
What we do not promise you
We do not promise you better memory, energy, immunity or focus. In the European Union exactly three claims are approved for Omega-3 — brain, vision, heart — and you read those above, worded exactly as authorised.
Everything else you find on this site is facts about composition: how many milligrams, of what, in what form. The rest you decide, ideally after a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist.
Price
We are not the cheapest Omega-3 on the shelf.
We are among the most concentrated. At 600 mg DHA a day, one bottle covers exactly one month — and that changes the maths. Here are the numbers.
One bottle, 60 softgels. Enough to see whether you like it, taste included.
Pre-orderThree bottles ordered together. Roughly how long it takes for a supplement to become part of your routine.
Pre-orderAll prices include VAT
Pre-orders are delivered in early November 2026. You pay online or on delivery, and we call you before dispatch to reconfirm the order.
Who is behind it
A doctor behind the formula
DHA Core started from comparing Omega-3 labels on the Romanian market. The DHA figures did not convince us — so we formulated one with better numbers.
Dr Brandon Potmis
A graduate of the Faculty of Medicine at the Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest, Brandon brings a medical perspective and an evidence-based approach to DHA-Core. He contributes to the scientific grounding of the brand and to communicating information about DHA and Omega-3 clearly, responsibly and understandably.
Authorised in the EU
Oil from Schizochytrium sp. is authorised as a Novel Food in the European Union. The product is made in the EU.
Patented technology
The oil is stabilised with Qualitysilver® (Polaris OmegaVie®) — a process that keeps Omega-3 fresh for longer.
First reactions
I did not know that fish get their Omega-3 from algae. I find it very interesting that DHA-Core goes straight to the source. I had the pleasure of trying samples, I really like the softgels and I think I will be able to fit them into my morning routine easily.
