DHA / DOCOSAHEXANOIC ACID


Fish can help you overcome learning disabilities, neurological diseases and visual impairment...


Docosahexanoic acid is an omega 3 essential fatty acid. It is an essential component of the brain and central nervous system. It seems to concentrate in areas where there is lots of electrical activity such as the synaptosomes, where nerve cells communicate, and the photoreceptors of the eye.


This is why a deficiency of DHA can result in poor brain development, attention/deficit hyperactivity disorder, learning disorders, memory problems and poor visual development.


Supplementation of DHA is especially important in pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and children. Some infant formulas are now fortified with DHA because, in the past, formula contained less essential fatty acids than breast milk.


DHA Supplementation not only plays a role on proper brain development in infants and children but it is important for ongoing brain health. It has been shown to help improve memory in cases of Alzeimer's Disease as well as age related memory loss. DHA impacts the brain's structure and signalling systems as well as the nervous system.


It has been shown that DHA supports healthy levels of neurotransmitters including serotonin, norepinephrine, acetylcholine, glutamate, and dopamine. There have been numerous studies conducted on DHA and its effects on depression (chronic, major, and post partum), hostility, aggression, anger, anxiety, and panic attacks. So far much of the research looks promising in helping relieve a lot of these health concerns.


DHA can be taken in through the diet by eating fish or fish oil. The body can also convert alpha linolenic acid (ALA), from vegetable sources like flaxseeds, into DHA. However, the standard North American diet is deficient in essential fatty acids, especially omega 3s and very few individuals have enough excess ALA to meet the body’s need for DHA. Supplemental DHA is usually made from tuna, salmon, herring, mackerel or sardines. These fish contain more omega 3 rich fat than other fish species. Cod liver and halibut liver oils also contain some omega 3s but are primarily used for their vitamin A and D content. Some newer fish liver oils have been fortified with DHA and may be an economical choice for those individuals taking both DHA and liver oils.


DHA supplements are found as liquid oil (processed to remove the fishy taste), soft gel chewables (flavoured) and standard soft gel capsules. Children flavour DHA liquids and flavoured soft gel chewables. Fish liver oil supplements should be used cautiously in children, pregnant and nursing women because of the toxicity of fat-soluble vitamins.


Ensure your fish oil supplement is not processed with heat because it damages the acids and creates free radicals. It is important to purchase a good quality DHA supplement that has been tested for contaminants. Refrigerate all liquid DHA supplements and keep capsules away from heat to increase shelf life. Using liquid DHA is much more cost effective than capsules because numerous capsules must be taken to make an equivalent amount of liquid oil.
