General
Nutrient Support:
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is a polyunsaturated
fatty acid found in deep-sea cold water fish. DHA is an essential nutrient
for proper brain, nervous system, and visual function and must be obtained
through the diet. A healthy balance of DHA is essential to properly
care for the brain throughout life, particularly during the early stages
of development.
A high concentration of DHA can be found in mother's breast milk. However,
the level is directly related to the amount of omega-3 fatty acids that are
consumed in the mother's diet. Due to refined foods and trendy diets, many
individuals have reduced their intake of the dietary sources of omega-3 fatty
acids, contributing to lower levels of DHA in breast milk. The impact of low
DHA intake on neurological function of adults and children is the subject of
ongoing clinical investigations. |
