Our plasmalogens are derived from the Ascidian (sea squirt) species Halocynthia roretzi, and are sourced directly from Tokyo, Japan, where purity and plasmalogen content are verified by pharmaceutical-level quality analysis. The phospholipids form of DHA present in our Ascidians can cross the blood-brain barrier at a rate approximately 10 times faster than that of the free fatty acid form of DHA.
In the human brain, plasmalogen levels peak in middle age and tend to decrease in old age. What’s more, plasmalogen levels are decreased in age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Plasmalogens are neuroprotective, having a protective effect on the brain and nervous system.
Supplemental plasmalogens improve plasmalogen levels in the body. Plasmalogen supplementation, particularly marine sources rich in DHA and EPA, improves cognitive functions and reduces their decline with aging.
