A. Benefits of DHA during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
DHA is important for optimal infant brain, eye and nervous system development, and has been shown to support a healthy pregnancy. Maternal DHA supplementation improves infant developmental outcomes, such as:
- eye-hand coordination
- motor skills
- attention span
- more mature sleep patterns in infants.
B. The importance of DHA beyond infancy
DHA is important for brain and eye development and function throughout the lifecycle, but is particularly important during the first two years of life and early childhood
C. Benefits of Omega-3 DHA in adult health
A growing body of research continues to support the role that DHA plays in maintaining good health throughout every stage of life.
Brain health and eye function
-
- DHA is necessary for the development and maintenance of optimal structure and function of nerve cells in the brain and eyes.
- DHA plays a significant role in the maintenance of normal neurological function.
Heart health
-
- DHA is also a key component of the heart tissues and one of the omega-3 fats recommended by the American Heart Association and USDA Dietary Guidelines for good cardiovascular health.
D. Omega-3 DHA regulates inflammation
VegeO DHA is preformed Omega-3 DHA and the readily available to keep the balance of Omega-3s fatty acids. The modern diet is generally tilted towards high intake Omega-6 levels. High Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio is known to be associated with inflammation & even certain cancers!
Omega-3 DHA Facts:
VegeO DHA is a pure vegetarian preformed Omega 3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) extract source of cultured marine microalgae (Crypthecodinium cohnii).
VegeO DHA is eco-friendly, non-GMO, organic compliant & sustainable marine algae culture source that is free of sea-borne contaminants such as PCBs & mercury.
VegeO DHA is a ready source of rich preformed Omega-3 DHA suitable for children and adults, mum-to-be & the baby and the elderly.
- Marine algae omega-3 DHA is currently found in more than 85% of U.S infant formulas.
- DHA is a long chain omega-3 fatty acids found naturally in human milk (but negligible in amounts in cow’s milk)
- The body can convert DHA from precursors such as alpha-linolenic acids (ALA), but research shows this process is slow & inefficient.
- Marine algae is the only source of performed pure vegetarian omega-3 DHA currently available.
- DHA is essential for brain development retinal eye vision, anti-inflammatory effects to maintain proper heart and to prevent chronic degenerative disease.
