DHA - A Key Omega-3 Fatty Acid for Brain, Nerve and Eye Health 

At last, DHA from a high quality, pure plant source (from deep-sea marine algae) is now available. The Standard American Diet (SAD) simply does not provide adequate amounts of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) for the maintenance and development of healthy brain and nerve tissue for the majority of Americans.

Too Much Omega-6 and Not Enough Omega-3

Processed foods now comprise a large part of most American’s diets. As a result, Americans are getting too many omega-6 fatty acids with an imbalance in omega-3. In fact, it is estimated that the average American’s diet provides more than 30 times the proper amount of omega-6. Worse yet, because these oils are highly heated, they turn rancid and cause oxidative stress (free radical damage) once they’re consumed. The common fats that contain these omega-6 fatty acids found in modern food today are:

• corn oil
• safflower oil
  
• soybean oil
  
• sunflower oil
  
• cottonseed oil
  

Omega-6 Fueling an Inflammatory Factory
Diets high in omega-6 fatty acids disrupt the balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory agents in the body, promoting chronic inflammation and elevating the risk of health problems such as asthma, Alzheimer’s, allergies, arthritis, heart disease, and cancer to name a few.

Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids both utilize the same enzymes and transport systems to produce biochemicals in our body. When there are more omega-6 fatty acids, greater amounts of inflammatory compounds will be created, and lesser enzymes will be available for omega-3 fats to create chemicals that are anti-inflammatory. Even more detrimental is that high levels of omega-6 fatty acids can actually replace and reduce omega-3 fatty acids.

In other words, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids compete with one another, and the presence of one greatly affects the behavior of the other. Although omega-6 fatty acids are essential for good health, when they reach a certain threshold, they begin to diminish the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids.

DHA- The Essential Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids include a-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). ALA is the parent compound to the omega-3 family, with EPA as the daughter compound and DHA as the granddaughter compound. While each member of this family plays an important role in health, DHA is the most essential omega-3 fatty acid, and by far the hardest to derive from your diet. DHA is the most biologically active omega-3 fatty acid, due to its length and the number of unsaturated bonds it possesses. It is the dominant type that is found in your cell membranes. DHA, not EPA, is the primary fatty acid associated with brain function, cardiovascular health, and improved circulation. Your brain alone is made up of 25% DHA.

Convenient DHA Capsules
The beauty of pure DHA in vegetable capsules (very small, convenient, easy to swallow capsules) is that they may be used at a healthy maintenance dose of 1 capsule per day (200 mg. of DHA) or in serious cases, 5 caps per day (delivering 1,000 mg. of DHA). Premier DHA is excellent and safe for infants, growing children, adults of any age and especially, for senior citizens to attain and maintain healthy brain and neurological function throughout life.
