Is the DHA chemically extracted?

The Life's DHA web site that produces this oil says it is not extracted with hexane. They also say it is not GMO.

I'm not sure, you will need to ask the manufacturer. I just noticed this product contains carragenaan (inflammatory agent) and sorbitol...too bad, we really need a good non-fish source of long-chained omega-3 fatty acids. However, vegetable oil contains ALA (alpha linolenic acid) which is the only 'essential' omega-3 for humans as we can metabolize this into the longer chained forms of EPA and DHA.

Sorry but I do not know the answer to this question. My mother-in-law is a vegan & her vegan friend recommended this supplement brand.

This is not chemically extracted it states it under the product description on Deva's website.

Yes i believe so. The FDA allows U.S. food oils to be prepared using hexane as an extraction method, and this is quite common for canola oil and grape seed oil. Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/044380_grape_seed_oil_hexane_gasoline_derivative.html#ixzz3aEHhebIk

I believe the source of this DHA comes from algae instead of fish. Fish can sometimes be contaminated with mercury which is harmful to babies in the womb so this is safer for pregnant women.

No DHA. My pediatrician claims DHA is unnecessary, that's why he encouraged this formula. DHA can come in other forms.

It does not say on the bottle how it was extracted. Perhaps you can find that information on the company website...

None of the babies only formula uses the hexane method. But some formula is just dairy, which doesn't need to say hexane free, because it does not include the DHA & ARA. It's the extraction of DHA that other companies use hexane to get the ingredients. So without the added ingredient they do not need to say hexane free... I prefer to buy the formula with the added vitamins. And it's good to know that they get the ingredients without using chemicals to extract them.

There is partially hydrogenated vegetable oil in the ingredients! Hope this answers your question!

I'm not sure what the dha is but it works great. I used it when I was in a salon. You can do a light spray it you can do a heavier spray fire a darker tan. I left it in over night and was fine. I got a lot of complements on it.

Per Ask/eHow - 'Emu oil is extracted from the fat of the emu after it has been processed for food.' Unfortunately there is no other way to refine it as a byproduct

I don't think so. I don't recall seeing it in the ingredients and I stay away from products with mineral oil.

It is refined so Yes they use some chemicals to remove the oil. Only unrefined is pressed without chemicals.

There is 300mg per pill, 250 of that is EPA+DHA. Not sure about the coding, I know you can definitely smell them.

It does not. You can add DHA. Baby's only makes one to be added or alternatively you can buy some at a health food store. Some people believe the DHA that it is big name brand formula is potentially unsafe due to it being manufactured from algae vs. fish oil.
