DHA 240
60 softgels
Item Catalog Number: 995 | | Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid which helps support development of the brain, nervous system and the retina of the eye. DHA is critical to maintaining lightening-fast brain function. Billions of neurons in the brain communicate with each other through connectors called "synapses". Synapses have a higher concentration of DHA than almost any tissue in the body. Life Extension is excited to offer a high potency DHA softgel supplement. DHA softgels complement Life Extension's Super Omega-3 fish oil softgels to provide options for those who desire a higher DHA: EPA ratio. Life Extension's DHA exceeds current Council for Responsible Nutrition proposed pharmaceutical grade standards. DHA softgels can be combined with Life Extension's Super Omega-3 softgels to provide additional support for brain health, eye health, mood, and developmental needs. Brain Health
DHA is highly concentrated within brain tissue, accounting for up to 20 percent of total brain mass. Scientists are currently researching the possibility that a lack of DHA may contribute to certain behavioral and mood conditions affecting both children and adults. Some studies have also explored a possible link between insufficient DHA and symptoms of age-related mental decline. Eye Health
DHA is a major structural fat in the retina of the eye, accounting for up to 50 percent of the total fatty acids. Because DHA is so prevalent in eye tissue, many researchers suspect that it plays an important role in visual development during infancy and childhood. DHA is also being studied for its possible impact on adult eye health. | References
