DHA is a fatty acid which is commonly found in oily fish. Solgar presents a specially created form of DHA derived from plants, making all the health benefits of DHA available to those on a Vegetarian and Vegan diet. Fatty acids are lipids, the general term for dietary fat. The body can make several fatty acids, however, those it cannot make in adequate amounts must be obtained through the diet (essential fatty acids). DHA is both present in the brain and eyes. In fact the Omega 3 pre-cursor to DHA makes up 60% of a healthy brain and is therefore essential for healthy functioning brains. In the same way DHA forms a big part of the eye tissue and is needed for optimal macular health.
