Source-Omega discloses astounding commercial R&D results with pure Chromista water extracted algae oil. With first and only claims such as the first water extracted algae oil, the first single ingredient 100% algae oil (Schizochytrium sp.), the first 50% DHA oil standard, Source-Omega scientists have developed the first Chromista oil DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) plus CBD (cannabidiol) product, launched in California in early March 2018."Demand driven R&D proved to us that this oil was the best emulsifier of CBD oil preparations, from raw CBD oil to pure CBD isolate, achieving a 33% CBD concentrate at room temperature and a 50% CBD concentrate at only 45 degrees Celcius as stable, clear, fully emulsified solutions. The length and unsaturation of the lipids in our oil may be the most powerful natural oil emulsifier of CBD powders and pastes," said Scott Doughman, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer, CEO and Founder of Source-Omega, LLC.
Doughman said recent events foretell of the "the word getting out" and "boom demand" for the Chromista oil DHA. He disclosed 3rd party product developers are reaching the same astonishing conclusions about CBD emulsification with the DHA oil, stating that solid CBD decarboxylated oil concentrates in 1 gram "chunks" will dissolve, i.e. fully emulsify, into the Chromista oil simply by sitting overnight without heating, sonicating or mixing.
The premium DHA oil contains an average chain-length of 20 carbons, whereas olive oil's average chain-length is about 18 carbons, coconut oil's average is about 16 carbons and medium chain triglyceride (MCT) oil's average is about 10 carbons.
DHA in fish oil and krill oil comes from algae oil in the food chain. DHA is commonly used in food supplements because DHA is the most abundant omega-3 in the human body, brain and organs by ten-fold, with a maximum ratio of 97% DHA in the brain.
Recent interest in DHA has focused on two new endogenous wellness pathways; a) DHA-cardiolipin structure and function in the mitochondria, as DHA is the only omega-3 used by mitochondrial cardiolipin and only when DHA is sufficiently and consistently present in the diet, and b) DHA supplementation also appears to increase Synaptamide production in the brain.
In neurons, DHA can be directly converted into Synaptamide (Docosahexaenoylethanolamide), a structural analog of the endogenous cannabinoid receptor ligand anandamide, made from Arachidonic Acid. Synaptamide is synthesized from DHA in the brain, although it binds weakly to cannabinoid receptors, it independently stimulates growth, synaptogenesis and synaptic activity in developing hippocampal neurons at nano-molar concentrations. The term Synaptamide was coined to describe its activity and molecular similarity to anandamide.
