Support your brain, eyes, heart and more with DHA.
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is an essential omega-3 fatty acid derived from cold-water fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring and sardines.
DHA is found in every cell of the body, but it is the primary omega-3 fat in the brain and retina in the eye.
Omega-3 fats are one of four basic fats that the body derives from foods.
The human body does not produce omega-3 fatty acids, so supplementation is often necessary.
Sadly, most people living in western nations do not get enough omega-3s in their diet.
While many of the other dietary fats are harmful, omega-3 fats are vital to the health of the cell membrane.
Omega-3 fats such as DHA contribute to cardiovascular and brain health, joint and skin support, and they help support normal-range cholesterol levels.
Did we mention that omega-3 fats are especially good for the heart?
NSP's DHA is a natural fish lipid concentrate that contains omega-3 fatty acids from the flesh of cold-water fish.

How It Works
DHA is absorbed into the fatty perimeter of cells where it exerts its biochemical properties.
DHA is highly concentrated in the brain and retinal neural tissues where is supports brain function and eye health.
DHA is noted for its ability to support brain health and function (and brain and eye development in children and youth). It helps increase blood flow in the brain during mental challenges and appears to positively influence mood and behavior.
Research indicates that consuming plenty of DHA improves learning. Several studies show that people, both old and young, with attention challenges have lower levels of DHA in their blood.
DHA also appears to help nerve cells communicate better, and it plays an important role in maintaining and protecting neural tissues, specialized tissues that form the foundation of the nervous system.
And, DHA is essential for proper functioning of the retina—the light-sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eyeball—which is responsible for visual processing.
DHA also has beneficial properties that may help reduce the risk of age-related issues for the heart and gums.
Plus, DHA supports healthy blood lipid profiles and may also help maintain normal-range blood pressure.
