Fish oil Mega-DHA - for the brain and vision 1000 mg x60 softgel capsules SUPER-PURIFIED FISH OIL PROVIDING OMEGA-3 POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS AND VITAMIN E. HIGHLY CONTENT OF DHA – ONE OF THE MAIN FATTY ACIDS THAT PLAYS A VITAL ROLE FOR DIETARY AND NERVE FUNCTIONS.
The main dietary source of docosahexaenoic acid is fatty fish (mackerel, salmon, herring, anchovy, etc.), seafood and algae.
Including more DHA-rich foods in the diet leads to significant improvements in emotional health and the ability to learn and retain new information. And vice versa - the deficiency of this fatty acid worsens cognitive functions and mental state.
In the event that the diet does not provide sufficient DHA, it is highly recommended to take high-quality dietary supplements with fish oil or algal oil.
EFFECTS OF DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID (DHA) ON NEUROLOGICAL AND COGNITIVE HEALTH
DHA is the main structural fat, making up 97% of the fatty acids in the brain and 93% of the fatty acids in the retina of the eyes.
It supports communication between neurons in the hippocampus - the part of the brain whose main function is related to the formation and recovery of memories and long-term memory.
It improves the synaptic plasticity of the brain and, accordingly, its ability to recover after trauma and illness, as well as to absorb, process and learn information.
Limits the risk of cognitive decline and memory loss that occur with age.
Supports mental health - counteracts states of anxiety and depression, protects the brain from the harmful effects of various types of stress.
In its role as the main structural polyunsaturated fatty acid of the retina, it reduces the risk of macular degeneration, maintains the correct intraocular pressure and helps protect against glaucoma, and relieves the symptoms of dry eye syndrome.
HOW DHA HELPS DURING PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING
It is crucial for the development of the central nervous system in the fetus and in the infant.
It improves the growth and functional development of the brain of babies, and reduces the risk of autism spectrum disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Research has shown that children of mothers who took fish oil high in DHA were less likely to suffer from vision problems and performed significantly better on cognitive tests of learning and processing information.
DHA intake in the later weeks of pregnancy is also associated with a reduced risk of preterm birth.
OTHER BENEFITS OF DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID RELATED TO ITS ABILITY TO SUPPRESS INFLAMMATION PROCESSES IN THE BODY
Deficiency of DHA in the diet is associated with an increased risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune inflammatory disease that affects the joints and leads to the destruction of bones and cartilage. DHA reduces damage to articular cartilage and relieves swelling and pain.
DHA prevents inflammation of the airways and supports the prevention and therapy of asthma. Studies show that children who eat fresh oily fish more than once a week have a significantly lower risk of developing asthma.
Long-term supplementation with DHA improves the condition of the skin in acne, reactive skin and increased sensitivity to adverse factors from the external environment.
PROPERTIES OF EICOZAPENTAENOIC ACID, INCLUDED IN THE COMPOSITION OF MEGA-DHA
Nature's Way product - Mega-DHA, also contains Omega-3 eicosapentaenoic fatty acid (EPA), whose key benefits affect the cardiovascular system:
lowers the levels of triglycerides, which are a risk factor in the development of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries);
helps control blood pressure;
prevents the accumulation of calcium in the arteries and the development of arterial calcification.
