What DHA Can Do For You

Until recently not many knew a lot about the importance of DHA supplements.

DHA or (Docosahexaenoic Acid) is an essential compound that is naturally found throughout the body, but is more abundant in brain, eyes and heart. DHA is vital for proper functioning of your brain and eye. Its absence is known to cause deteriorated and interrupted brain function.

DHA deficiency affects normal transmission of signals across membranes in the brain. Its deficiency may speed up aging and cause various health problems, such as behavioral disorders, depression, hyperactivity, postpartum depression, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, cancer, and diabetes.

An optimal intake of DHA supplements can help in preventing these problems and inhibit several heart and neurodegenerative diseases

DHA is vital for formation of the structural components of the brain. It accounts for 50% weight of the neuronal membranes in the brain. It is also required for structural and functional components of central nervous system and brain

In our bodies, DHA:
