Low levels of DHA have been correlated with changes in disposition, memory loss, and visual and other neurological conditions. This decline in the consumption of DHA has also led to an unhealthy imbalance between omega-3 fatty acids and the more plentiful omega-6 fatty acids.
Fish are high in DHA because they consume microalgae, its original source. DHA is a major component of fish oil. It is a long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) of the n-3 or omega-3 type. It has been combined with EPA in Fish Oil or Omega 3 and supplements are available in drug and health food stores.
However, not all Fish Oil or Omega 3 products will provide you with DHA. This is because these essential fatty acids are not present in many Omega 3 products. For example, ground flax seed is an excellent oil for certain uses and contains Omega 3's but does not actually contain any DHA or EPA at all.
Your body will convert the flaxseed oil into DHA, though not very efficiently. It is estimated that most adults would have to consume 10 - 40 grams of flaxseed oil to produce just 0.2 grams of DHA. It is also important to understand that many fish oils on the market are low in DHA. A typical level is 12% DHA and 18% EPA. Therefore, it is important to find a source of fish oil that is high in DHA or alternatively be prepared to take much higher doses of conventional fish oil.
If you are a vegetarian there is now a vegetarian source of DHA available. The product name is Neuromins DHA. Unlike fish oils; Neuromins DHA does not contain eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Neuromins DHA is extracted under tightly controlled manufacturing conditions and is free of chemical pollutants that may be present in some fish oils.
