DHA 250
For normal brain and visual function
DHA: an essential omega-3 fatty acid
Docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA for short, is an essential omega-3 fatty acid that is primarily found in oily fish. Theoretically, DHA can also be produced from the plant-based omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid, but its production in the body is very inefficient.
DHA functions in the body as a building block of cell membranes. High concentrations are found in particular in the retina of the eye and in nerve cells. Up to 97% of the omega-3 fatty acids in the brain and up to 93% of the omega-3 fatty acids in the retina consist of DHA.
DHA 250: DHA from ultra-pure quality fish oil
DHA 250 consists of highly concentrated ultra-pure fish oil and contains particularly high levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). This essential omega-3 fatty acid supports normal brain function and contributes to the maintenance of vision. DHA is only found in large quantities in fatty fish and fish oils.
Physiological functions of DHA:
- DHA is significantly involved in the maintenance of normal brain function and vision. The positive effect is achieved with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA.
- DHA and EPA play an important role in maintaining normal heart function. The positive effect is achieved with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA and EPA.

FAQ
At Biogena, “pure substance principle” means that we do not use technological additives which are used for the fully automated manufacturing of tablets, capsules and pills (e.g. anticaking or release agents and so forth) or additives that are used for optical reasons or for enhancing the taste of the products (artificial aroma, colouring agents, coatings etc.). Due to a semi-automatic manufacturing process, we can avoid these substances that often have a higher proportion in customary products than the actual active ingredients. In the case of nutritional supplements, additives have to be indicated in the list of ingredients. Here, the patient or customer can get useful information. Concerning the single ingredients, we also care for our raw materials to be free of carrier substances. In cases where this is not possible, we use natural food components such as maltodextrin, cellulose powder or calcium carbonate. The majority of our ingredients is produced exclusively for us – free of carrier substances (e.g. our enzymes our probiotics: other manufacturers often use lactose as a carrier – the product batches produced for us are explicitly without carriers).
BIOGENA preparations are carefully manufactured in our own production facility, BIOGENA Good Health World (Salzburg, Austria), to a unique manufacturing standard. We are certified according to ISO 22,000:2018 and GMP - Good Manufacturing Practice and have organic, halal and kosher certification. The quality-tested raw materials come from premium brand raw material manufacturers - sourced directly from the world market leaders.
