DHA Reduces Inflammation

A double blind study with Alzheimer’s patients and DHA showed that after six months of supplementation DHA had significantly increased in their blood cells and their white blood cells released much less inflammation when stimulated by toxic challenge.

Participants consumed 1700 mg of DHA per day.  This study used modified fish oil that was high in DHA and low in EPA – enabling the higher intake of the most important omega 3 essential fatty acid, DHA.

In the case of fat, you are what you eat.  Ensuring an adequate amount of DHA, as a proportion of the overall fat consumed, is vital to mental health and cardiovascular health.
