A significant body of science has left no doubt that omega 3 oils, of which DHA is the most important, have a significant ability to support Heart Rate Variability (HRV), reflecting a healthy nerve-heart relationship. Doses of DHA fish oil ranging from 1 to 6 grams have shown benefits, with higher doses offering more support. Fish oil, due to its DHA...

DHA and PhosphatidylSerine (PS) are the most effective nutrients to help build healthy brain cells.* DHA is the preferred essential fatty acid and PS is the preferred phospholipid in brain cell membranes. Fatty acids attach to phospholipids to form cell membranes. The quality of brain cell membranes is thus based on the dietary intake of fatty acids and...

Leptinal® supports cholesterol fitness in a variety of novel ways.Fat cells within stored fat use small fragments of cholesterol to stabilize the structure of their cell membranes. When a person gains weight these fat cells expand in size, stressing the actual structure of the fat cell. The stressed fat cells send out a call to the liver for more...

Pregnancy and lactation offer a tremendous window of opportunity to support optimal brain development for your child. Many nutrients are involved with higher-level brain function. These include sulfur-rich protein, B vitamins, iodine, and DHA. All of these have been discussed extensively in this section and/or in the section on Prenatal Supplements.When...

Adiponectin, like leptin, is a hormone made in your white adipose tissue. It has several properties that support healthy blood sugar metabolism. It acts as a natural anti-inflammatory in white adipose tissue to help keep white adipose tissue in a good state of fitness. It also signals your liver in a way that supports healthy insulin function. Adequate...

Two new studies show the extreme value of DHA supplementation during pregnancy for the baby's health. It’s one simple step for a lifetime of benefits.

The fatty acids in the American food supply have steadily changed over the past 100 years, resulting in five to ten times less omega 3 oils in our diets compared to much of our evolution. A new controlled study in healthy people has shown that eating higher levels of omega 3 oils turns down inflammatory gene signals.

Researchers trying to figure out why those of lower socioeconomic status have greater rates of heart disease came upon the interesting discovery that they had a significant lack of essential fatty acids in their red blood cells (meaning they don't consume much dietary or supplemental DHA or EPA).

Getting enough DHA during pregnancy is vital for the future health of your child. Not getting enough can mean stress intolerance, poor mood, and set the stage for postpartum depression.

Omega 3 fish oil (DHA) and phosphatidylserine (PS) are two types of fat needed for brain function and structure. Both are important for brain health, but when combined the effects are compounded.
