Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA)
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is marine omega-3 for brain and eye membranes—rely on fish or algae, not walnuts alone.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a long-chain omega-3 concentrated in brain, retina, and cell membranes—important for cognition, pregnancy, and recovery when marine intake is low. Fatty fish and algae deliver DHA ready to use; ALA conversion supplies only a fraction.
Pair DHA meals with vegetables and adequate protein rather than replacing entire dinners with oil alone.
Common questions
-
Do you need DHA if you already take fish oil?
Check the label—many products list EPA and DHA separately. Pregnancy, heavy training, and low fish diets often justify explicit DHA grams, not a generic omega-3 claim.
