In particular, DHA from omega-3 is a key building block for a healthy brain. This major structural fat supports brain and nervous system health, vision acuity, mood and the cardiovascular system. DHA is required in high levels to provide the necessary nutrients for optimal brain functioning, including learning ability and mental development.

Unfortunately, the modern creation and use of modified natural fats, such as trans fats and partially hydrogenated oils, in packaged and prepared foods displaces the natural DHA in the brain, thereby weakening the brain's architecture and affecting its electrical communication and activity. Furthermore, high consumption of these unhealthy fats and dietary lack of fatty fish rich in EPA and DHA leads to a negative imbalance of fatty acids and may be directly linked to hyperactivity, depression, and other mood disorders.

These brain-building fats are intrinsically beneficial for every phase of life - from infancy, toddlers, children, teens and adults. With regular, added consumption of fish and/or fish oil supplements, now available in a variety of pleasant-tasting formats, your family can increase its vitality and edge - and that's a no-brainer.
