Microalgae Extract Lowers Diastolic Blood Pressure
 
A substance produced from microalgae successfully reduces diastolic blood pressure in middle-aged subjects.

The substance, Martek's (Columbia, MD, USA) life's docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a vegetarian form of DHA omega-3, a long chain omega-3 fatty acid that serves as a primary building block for the brain and the eye and supports brain, eye, and cardiovascular health throughout life. There is a large and growing body of scientific evidence demonstrating that people of all ages, from infants to aging adults, benefit from an adequate supply of DHA omega-3 in the diet. Scientific reviews have noted the importance of DHA omega-3 in proper brain and eye development and function, and there are clinical studies underway to evaluate its role in decreasing the prevalence of certain neurological disorders. Yet, despite its importance, Americans have among the lowest dietary intakes of DHA omega-3 in the world.
