DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid that comes from fish oil. It is the longest and most unsaturated of omega-3 fatty acids and is considered physiologically essential in the proper growth and development of the brain, nervous system, and retina to support optimal cognitive function. DHA actually accumulates in the brain during our first couple years of life; no other omega fatty acid does this. At birth, DHA makes up about 93% of the omega-3 acids in the retina and 97% of the omega-3 fatty acids in the brain and continue to increase as the brain develops during the first 2 years of life and after based on measures in the cerebral cortex up to 18 years of age. Basically; DHA = brain food for your Kids!*

Getting children to eat fish regularly can be challenging. What's more, fish containing good sources of healthy omega 3's harbor unsafe levels of mercury, PCB's and other harmful substances. DHA is the first fatty acid used by the brain to form brain cell membranes. Approximately 60% of the human brain is made up of fatty acids. Research suggests that these healthy fats may play a role in children with attention deficit disorders such as ADD/ADHD.*

LifeSource Vitamins Kids DHA provides a total of 270 mg omega-3's per serving, equivalent to about 4 oz. of canned light tuna or cooked cod, 2oz cooked halibut, 0.5oz sardines or 0.8oz salmon.

Learn what DHA really is and why it is important during the toddler years when the brain grows to 85% of its full size.

Chances are you’ve heard about DHA. But beyond knowing it’s something that’s good for you and your children, you may not know much more. It’s not always easy to get the real facts. Here’s a quick introduction to this important nutrient and a few reasons why it’s important during toddlerhood.

DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid and it’s a key building block of the brain and eyes. The name DHA is scientific shorthand for docosahexaenoic acid.*

Why is DHA important?

DHA is important for the healthy structure and function of the brain. As a baby develops, it supports not only brain development but the eyes and nervous system, too. And there’s even more good news. Studies in infants have shown DHA helps support respiratory health and contributes to the development of a healthy immune system.*

Good for babies and for toddlers.

Clinical studies show that DHA helps support cognitive abilities, visual acuity, and overall brain development in babies. Because DHA is beneficial both in utero and after a baby is born, this nutrient is found in prenatal supplements and infant formulas. Once a baby outgrows formula, DHA continues to be important during the first three years of life when a child’s brain grows to 85% of its complete size.*

This Just In:

If you want your child to reach his or her maximum intellectual potential, the research is clear that a plentiful intake of the omega-3 fat DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is essential.

In the US, most kids get hardly any of this healthful fat, found primarily in seafood, in their diets, are most likely missing out on this simple opportunity to boost brain performance.

Most recently, two new studies have confirmed that boosting your child’s intake of DHA as an infant and into the school-age years may be a simple way to generate measurable improvements in their brain function.

Other Studies:

In Sweden, a study was conducted on 15-year-old schoolchildren and found that those who consumed fish high in omega-3’s more than once per week had 15% higher grades than those who consumed fish less than once a week. Not only that, another study showed cumulative benefits from prolonged ingestion of DHA may eventually over time have positive effects on school performance.

The supplemented kids had improvement (based on the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test) in recognition by 9%, discrimination index improvement of 20%, and the same with the spelling test. DHA even seems to have a positive effect on dyslexia; after taking 480mg of DHA+108mg of EPA+ a lower level of GLA(gamma-linolenic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid) for 20 weeks the 12-year-olds showed a 60% improvement on reading tests. It should be noted however this was an open-pilot trial. More studies are being done and need to be done but this is certainly an interesting beginning.

An encouraging study showed that a DHA/EPA combination given to autistic 5-17-year-olds lessened their hyperactive symptoms. Studies are ongoing to find the right combination levels of DHA/EPA and dosage to help these kids. Other problems such as ADHD could be caused by metabolic differences in fatty acid metabolism, causing fatty acid profiles that are out of whack, including lower levels of DHA causing poor information transmission in nerves. Scientists are researching what combination of omega-3 and omega-6 supplementation could help with certain aspects of ADHD behaviors.

The big deal with DHA and even a DHA/EPA combination is that it has been shown to be imperative for developmental health in kids and people of all ages especially as we get older.
