Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 essential fatty acid (EFA), is a vital nutrient shown to have remarkable health benefits for the brain and heart. DHA has also been shown to offer essential benefits for fetal development and infant health. In addition, it has been shown to support eye health.
NSI DHA formula contains both DHA and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), which are crucial for cardiovascular and circulatory health. Many studies have also shown DHA to effectively reduce blood triglyceride levels, high levels of which have been linked with heart disease.
DHA provides neurological benefits, as well. Over 60% of the brain is composed of fat, with DHA being a principle component. Therefore, adequate levels of DHA are necessary for optimal brain function. In addition, many studies have been conducted showing that low levels of DHA may be linked to psychological disorders, including depression. DHA has also shown visual benefits, as it is the major fat in retinal tissue and also benefits the retina's cells.
DHA appears to offer essential health benefits for fetal and infant health, as it has been found to support fetal and infant brain and eye development. DHA has also been shown to be effective at preventing premature birth. With the concern over contaminated fish supplies, pregnant and nursing women have been advised to limit their fish intake. However, NSI DHA is a safe and convenient way for pregnant and nursing women to get these essential fatty acids into their diet.
Like all NSI EFA supplements, NSI DHA is carefully formulated using fresh, deep sea, cold water fish body oils, not fish liver oils. These fish oils undergo a process of molecular distillation, which ensures a high level of concentration and product purity. NSI DHA softgels are small, easy to swallow, and have a pleasant strawberry essence.
