DHA extracted from deep-sea fish oil. For a long time, deep-sea fish have been the traditional raw material for people to obtain DHA. The price of fish oil is relatively low, its consumption has a long history, and its efficacy is reliable. Fish oil DHA is mainly extracted from the head and eye socket fat of large fish such as tuna and bonito. The DHA content is about 12%; in order to increase the content, after concentration treatment, the DHA content of fish oil can reach more than 20%.
