DHA is required for optimal brain and eyesight development. If you want a smart child, don't skimp on DHA. DHA is an essential fatty acid that is lacking in our processed food supply -- compared to evolution. Unfortunately, some of the now best sources of DHA, salmon and tuna, are typically high in mercury. No pregnant woman should expose herself to...

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...

Leptinal® provides nutrients that are vital for your circulatory system. The endothelial cells that line your arteries send out signals that work with your heart and muscle contractions to create the ebb and flow of your blood pressure (systolic = higher number and diastolic = lower number). These cells accomplish this by using regulatory signals called...

Wellness Resources® Daily DHA™ contains the highest quality mercury free fish oil, high in DHA omega-3 oil. DHA is needed for optimal brain function, focus, eyesight, and cardiovascular health. You get omega-3 oils from eating fatty fish like salmon or tuna. The problem is, you also get a dose of mercury from the same fish. Range raised animals that graze...

Omega 3 fatty acids, especially DHA, are known to help metabolism of fat for many different reasons. They are one of the best, as well as most basic nutrients, for the support of healthy weight management. A new study shows that they can positively influence gene signaling in individuals prone to weight gain.

A new taxpayer-funded study by the Centers for Disease Control estimates that in 2005 obesity killed 216,000 people, another 191,000 lost their lives to laziness, and 84,000 died because they didn't have enough omega 3 fatty acids in their diet.

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.

The lack of omega 3 fatty acids, such as DHA, in the diets of pregnant mothers has been associated with poor neurologic function and mood issues in the offspring. Researchers have now pinpointed in an animal study, that a lack of omega 3 fatty acids at this critical time of development, causes brain plasticity to form incorrectly in key areas of the brain...

A new study indicates that one major factor causing today's obesity epidemic is the garbage fat diet of Americans for the past century. The Western diet is almost void of omega 3 essential fatty acids. Instead, high levels of omega 6 oils, such as corn oil and soy oil, have found their way into the food supply. Scientists show that four generations of...

The long chain omega-3 essential fatty acids of DHA and EPA are the most lacking nutrients in the American diet, compared to what humans have traditionally been eating over the past thousands of years. Two new studies add to the overwhelming evidence that these fatty acids, especially DHA, are incredibly beneficial to cardiovascular health.
