Brain Health
DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) is a key component of the brain, contributing to maintenance of normal brain function.[1]
Eye Health
DHA is a key component of the retina, contributing to the maintenance of normal vision.[2]
Heart Health
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA are vital for heart health, contributing to the normal function of the heart.[3]
Most children do not get enough Omega 3 DHA from their diet alone, so it might be worth considering supplementing with a DHA-rich fish oil to support your child’s brain function.
