Docosahexaenoic acid, DHA, plays an important role in healthy visual and neural development. Dietary or supplemental DHA intake during pregnancy is important to provide the fetus with DHA, a structural component of neural and retinal tissues, promoting healthy neural and visual development. Maternal supplementation or dietary DHA intake has a direct correlation with DHA levels in breast milk, and therefore provides continued DHA support for breastfed infants. A recent study suggests that DHA may be important in supporting cardiovascular health in children by maintaining healthy blood vessel function. Pure Encapsulations offers DHA from a vegetable source in 100 and 200 mg capsules.
