Studies show that breast fed babies have an IQ advantage of up to 5 points higher than babies fed with formula only. Therefore DHA is vital throughout pregnancy & breast-feeding. Breast milk already contains DHA in levels relative to the mother's dietary intake, while most infant formulas currently contain no DHA. DHA levels in the breast milk of U.S. women are among the lowest in the world, typically 1/2 - 2/3 of the minimum amount recommended for infants by the World Health Organization (WHO).

DHA is also a key component of the heart and cardiovascular system, and one of the omega-3 fatty acids recommended by the American Heart Association and USDA Dietary Guidelines for good cardiovascular health for those beyond infancy. And yet while it is essential for the brain & visual growth many American diets typically fall short of recommended levels. It then becomes necessary to supplement DHA for proper brain function throughout life because we don’t always get enough of it through the foods we eat.

Cerebral DHA also contains EPA, Stearidonic acid, Vitamin E & C.

Decreased DHA is associated with:

• Memory loss
• Visual disorders
• Changes in disposition
• Other neurological conditions
• Intrauterine growth & retardation
• Impaired visual & cognitive development in infants/children

Increased DHA supplementation may help:

• Slow memory loss for the middle age and the elderly
• Reduce symptoms associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Benefit psychomotor & visual development of children
• Help prevent coronary artery disease
• Reduce “The Blues”
