    Docosahexaenoic acid – DHA

    DHA, or docosahexaenoic acid, is a type of omega-3 fatty acid, which are fats that are important for our health. DHA is vital for brain health and function, as well as eye health. Our bodies can’t produce enough DHA on their own, so it’s essential to get it through our diet or supplements. Foods rich in DHA include fish like salmon and tuna, and some types of algae.
