Take a supplement or consume
something that contains pure DHA
(direct from the source: ALGAE....not fish or fish oil)

DHA is, in my opinion, the most important of all the
omega-3 fatty acids
. DHA is the most abundant omega-3 fatty acid in the human body. In fact, look at some of the following facts about DHA:

  • Accounts for 97% of the omega-3 fats in the brain
  • Accounts for 93% of the omega-3 fats in the retina
  • Key component in heart tissue
  • Naturally found in breast milk

Many scientific studies have proven that DHA omega-3 has positive health benefits for everyone from pregnant or nursing mothers and infants, to healthy adults and the elderly. Numerous studies confirm that everyone, from infants to adults, benefits from an adequate supply of DHA.

DHA plays an important role in the following:

  • Brain and central nervous system development
    and function
  • Psychomotor development
    (such as eye-hand coordination)
  • Visual development and function
  • Heart health
  • Nerve signal transmission

Increased levels of DHA have also been shown to improve cholesterol, decrease the risk of eye disorders like ARMD, glaucoma, and DES, and lower the risk of cognitive disorders like Alzheimer's and Dementia.

DHA can be found in various infant formulas and organic milk and egg products. Look specifically for DHA on products you buy at your grocery store. You can also e-mail me for my personal recommendation on DHA.
