DHA 100 mg

Docosahexaenoic acid, better known simply as DHA, is an omega-3 essential fatty acid. It is one of the primary building blocks of the brain and the eyes. DHA ensures optimal composition of cells in the brain, retina, heart and parts of the nervous system. These cells transport electrical currents that send messages throughout the body. In the fetus and young infants, DHA is essential for proper growth and development of the brain, nervous system and the retina of the eye. Because DHA is present in breast milk and not in cow’s milk, many physicians recommend breast-feeding or the use of infant formula containing DHA.
