Description
DHA plays a major role in the structural integrity of neuronal membranes, and is essential for neurological and visual development. DHA is vital throughout pregnancy to support fetal brain growth and the formation of the retina and visual cortex. As the most abundant fatty acid in the brain, adequate amounts of DHA are also needed throughout adulthood for ongoing optimal function. Low levels of DHA have been correlated with changes in memory, visual and other neurological parameters.
