DHA is a fatty acid belonging to the Omega-3 fatty acid group (unsaturated fatty acid with 22 carbons, 6 double bonds, the first double bond is at carbon number 3) which is essential for the development of the human brain and vision, helps increase immunity and reduces the risk of developing allergies in children.
The children's body cannot synthesize DHA on its own and must be taken in from food sources in the daily diet.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 fatty acid, plays a vital role in brain development, particularly during the early years. It forms a significant portion of the brain’s gray matter, which is crucial for cognitive function, learning, and memory.
Studies suggest that adequate DHA intake can positively impact these areas. Research has linked higher levels of DHA in children to improved memory, learning abilities, and attention spans.
