Other Label Information

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid, is the building block of human brain tissue. It is the primary structural fatty acid in the gray matter of the brain and retina of the eye. Humans obtain DHA from their diets, initially through the placenta and from breast milk. DHA is essential for brain and eye development and for mental and visual function. Fish provide a rich source of DHA but, like humans, fish do not adequately synthesize it. They obtain DHA from microalgae, its original source and the source of DHA in Neuromins brand of DHA, produced from micro-algae under tightly controlled food manufacturing conditions, provides the only vegetarian source of DHA.

Specific behavioral and learning problems have also been shown to correlate significantly with low DHA levels. Dyslexia, a learning disorder marked by impairment of the ability to recognize and comprehend written words, has been correlated with sub optimal DHA levels. Stordy (1995) reported that DHA supplementation in adult dyslexics improved rod dark adaptation or night vision. Stordy also reported anecdotal evidence that DHA supplementation improves dyslexics reading ability and behavior.

Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) also have low DHA levels and experience essential fatty acid deficiency symptoms including hyperactivity and short attention span. (Stevens et al, 1995) Studies are under way to determine whether DHA supplementation can alleviate these symptoms.
