Advanced DHA 60 gelcaps by Thorne
Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), play an indispensable role in supporting optimal brain development and function across all life stages.* DHA exhibits a notable concentration within the brain and the central nervous system, with a specific accumulation during fetal development and early childhood. The preservation of the established DHA levels from early life is crucial for ongoing cognitive health throughout adulthood.
Given the limited endogenous production of DHA and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) by the body, obtaining these essential fatty acids through diet or supplementation becomes imperative. Thorne's Advanced DHA emerges as a high-DHA/moderate-EPA fish oil supplement, delivering 650 mg DHA and 200 mg EPA per 2-gelcap serving, making it an optimal choice for supporting cognitive function in the aging brain.*

DHA by the Numbers:
- Approximately 60 percent of a healthy brain comprises fat.
- DHA constitutes over 90 percent of the fatty acids in both the brain and the retina.
- The frontal and prefrontal lobes, vital for learning, problem-solving, attention focus, and maintaining a positive mood, heavily rely on DHA.
- The average daily intake of DHA and EPA in U.S. adults is a mere 90 mg, and even lower at 40 mg in children and teenagers.
- Most researchers recommend a minimum daily intake of 500 mg of DHA + EPA for optimal health benefits.
