the DHA suppelment i take is a high DHA algae oil(martek), with a
little vitamin E added... and since i order it online i know its going
to be sitting in a 90+ degree UPS truck for a few days...

question is, will this high heat have any negative effects on the DHA?

it will if the container is not airtight.
the question remains however if this effects are in any way significant
since vitamin E will protect most of the DHA from oxidation for some time.

NESWSFLASH: The dog days of summer, is NOT the time to buy/order your
nutritional supplements.
