DHA For Adults | Important for Brain, Eye & Heart Health

From the time you were born, docosahexaenoic acid, DHA, was a key component for your developing brain and eyes. And, it continues to support brain and eye function throughout life. As a matter of fact, DHA is a major structural and functional fat found in the brain and retina, representing about 97% of all omega-3 fats in the brain and 93% of all omega-3 fats in the retina. It’s also a key component of the heart and cardiovascular system, and one of the omega-3 fatty acids recommended by the American Heart Association and USDA Dietary Guidelines for good cardiovascular health.

Additionally, there has been positive research on the role that DHA may play in adult brain and eye health. DHA intake has been associated with a decreased risk of mental decline associated with aging. No other fatty acid demonstrates this relationship.
