Q.What is fish oil?
A.Fish oil can be obtained from eating fish or by taking supplements. Fish that are especially rich in the beneficial oils known as omega-3 fatty acids include mackerel, tuna, salmon, sturgeon, mullet, bluefish, anchovy, sardines, herring, trout, and menhaden. They provide about 1 gram of omega-3 fatty acids in about 3.5 ounces of fish. Two of the most important omega-3 fatty acids contained in fish oil are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
Q.What are the benefits of DHA?
A.Improving Cognition in Young Children
DHA is essential for the growth and functional development of the brain in infants and the maintenance of normal brain function in adults.Inclusion of DHA in the diet may improve learning ability. A deficiency of DHA has the opposite effect: it's associated with learning deficits.The consumption of DHA in infants can increase mental performance later in life. DHA is found in breast milk and should be a normal part of the infant diet
Preventing Heart Disease

Q.How does it work?
A.DHA plays a key role in the development of eye and nerve tissues. DHA may also reduce the risk of heart and circulatory disease by decreasing the thickness of the blood and lowering blood levels of triglycerides.
Q.What are the uses of DHA?
A.DHA is used for treating type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease (CAD), dementia, and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Some people use DHA is for improving vision, preventing an eye disease called age-related macular degeneration (AMD), preventing and treating depression, and reducing aggressive behaviour in people in stressful situations.
