The Claim
Supplementing the diets of laying hens with 1.0% docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)–rich microalgae (Aurantiochytrium sp.) increases the DHA content in egg yolk to approximately 946 mg per 100 g of yolk, with DHA deposition reaching a plateau after approximately 30 days of feeding, indicating time-dependent saturation.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
If you feed hens a special algae supplement for about a month, their egg yolks get a big boost in a healthy fat called DHA — but after 30 days, adding more doesn’t help because the yolks can’t hold any more.

Supplementing laying hen diets with 1.0% docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)–rich microalgae (Aurantiochytrium sp.) increases egg yolk DHA content to approximately 946 mg per 100 g of yolk, with levels plateauing after about 30 days of feeding, indicating a time-dependent saturation in DHA deposition.
What the research says
1 studyThe study shows that feeding hens 1% DHA-rich algae boosts egg yolk DHA to about 946 mg per 100 g, and levels stop increasing after 30 days, just like the claim says.
