Product Focus: DHA+ by Ascenta Professional

At The Health Loft, one of our goals is to make our King West community healthier through natural means of health care.  


One of those ways is by stocking premium products and supplements for offer. 




We are happy to introduce DHA+, a high concentration of DHA (an essential omega 3 fatty acid), derived from sustainably caught wild squid (from the calamari industry).


The DHA+ formula is a high DHA oil derived from wild squid. Unlike other naturally occurring high DHA species (such as tuna and cod), wild squid is an abundant and sustainable source. 

Our DHA+ formula is suitable for general omega-3 use, because it contains both EPA and DHA.  

However, its primary benefit targets cognitive health (e.g., memory and concentration), neural protection, and specific life stages: pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood and senior adulthood.  So, new moms, this product is excellent for "mommy brain", and if you are breastfeeding, it helps in the brain development of your baby.  

In addition, the beauty benefits of this DHA + supplement include healthier hair and nails, and that natural dewy glow to the skin.  

Product features:

• 800 mg DHA and 400 mg EPA per serving 

• Natural triglyceride form 

• Exceptional taste and purity 

• Stabilized with proprietary mixed phospholipid extract 

• Every lot is tested for quality, purity and label claims

• Delicious natural citrus flavour 

Superior quality

The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) fish oil monograph has become the  international standard for quality fish oils. Ascenta Profesional omega-3 fish oils surpass the CRN quality and purity standards.

Triglycerides

Natural fish oils are comprised of molecules called triglycerides (TG), however most  concentrated fish oils are converted into an alternate form called an ethyl ester (EE) used as  an inexpensive way to concentrate the oil. Natural TG fish oils have three fatty acids linked  to a glycerol backbone whereas EE fish oils have one fatty acid linked to one molecule of  ethanol (alcohol). A number of studies have demonstrated that TG fish oils are more stable  and absorbed 2–3 times better than their EE counterpart. All Ascenta products are in a  natural triglyceride form.

Volatile Compounds

The oxidation (breakdown) of oils is a complex process that occurs in many stages. Volatile  Compounds (VC) are an important marker of oil oxidation. The formation of VCs in oils  results in an unpleasant taste and smell. Through the use of sophisticated processing  methods and proprietary antioxidants, Ascenta’s oils have extremely low VC levels and  maintain a fresh taste and smell throughout its shelf life.
