What it is

Cohnii oil is a type of oil derived from the algae *Schizochytrium* species. It is processed through fermentation and extraction to yield a rich source of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 fatty acid. The oil is typically refined to remove impurities and standardize its DHA content.

Why it's used

Cohnii oil is primarily added to infant formulas and other specialized nutritional products as a source of DHA. DHA is an important omega-3 fatty acid that plays a role in brain and eye development. Manufacturers use it to fortify foods where the natural presence of DHA might be low or inconsistent.

Health notes

Cohnii oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in foods, particularly infant formula. It is a source of DHA, which is recognized for its role in infant development. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated DHA sources. Evidence generally supports the benefits of DHA for cognitive and visual development in infants when consumed at typical levels found in fortified foods.

Allergen info

Cohnii oil is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
