DHA
(docosahexaenoic acid) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid, and is an
essential building block of brain and nerve tissue.
DHA, which constitutes a large percentage of the brain, supports
brain development during the last trimester of pregnancy when the
unborn child's demand for neurological growth increases greatly.
If added to the mother's diet, it can help prevent the depletion
of the mother's store of DHA and support the developing baby's essential
fatty acid needs. Clinical investigations are continually carried
out on the importance of DHA and Omega-3 fatty acids in health and
disease.
Currently, the proposed
Adequate Intake of DHA for pregnant and lactating woman is 300 mg.
per day based on the International Society for the Study of Fatty
Acids and Lipids.
Conditions
for which DHA is beneficial are:
attention
deficit disorder; Alzheimer’s
disease, brain
health, depression,
Multiple
sclerosis, Parkinson’s
disease, stress,

autistic
disorder, diabetes
and for the health of children.
