DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid)
WHAT IT IS:
Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) is an essential omega 3 long-chain fatty acid.
WHY WE USE IT:
“Essential” nutrients are those the body cannot produce on its own, meaning they must be obtained from the diet. DHA is a potent anti-inflammatory, among many other things. Those with cardiovascular, nervous system, and vision impairments are encouraged to take omega-3s as part of their diet. DHA is recognized as the primary contributing omega for lowering blood pressure and improving platelet function. It is vital for maintaining the shape of photoreceptor cells in our eyes, helping to improve vision development and repair. Pediatricians also recommend DHA because it is a crucial nutrient for brain and nervous system development while pregnant or breastfeeding. It also aids eye, heart, and cognitive function throughout the lifespan.
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid)
WHAT IT IS:
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is the predominant fatty acid found in sea vegetables.
WHY WE USE IT:
EPA is an anti-inflammatory that supports many biological processes. It has been shown to improve the functioning of the epithelium (lining the inside of the heart). Low levels of this fatty acid in the blood are one of the largest risk factors for stroke or sudden blockage of arteries that supply the brain. In clinical research, EPA is proven more effective than DHA in treating mental disorders.
Evening Primrose Oil
WHAT IT IS:
An oil extracted from the seeds of this yellow flowering plant.
WHY WE USE IT:
