The developing brain requires many essential nutrients to maintain healthy structure and function, including the omega-3 fatty acid known as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). While eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is an important anti-inflammatory fatty acid, DHA is specifically required for nerve cell growth, neuronal differentiation, and nerve signaling. DHA is therefore particularly important for fetal development and during childhood, with significant accumulation in the developing brain during the last trimester of pregnancy and into the second year of life.
Research has shown that DHA supplementation during pregnancy can improve various measures of eye health in infants. Specifically, DHA may help improve visual acuity and lead to faster visual processing speed in offspring. Studies also show that DHA supplementation in infancy can improve problem-solving skills and voluntary attention at a young age. Finally, a DHA supplement given to mothers with atopy appears to reduce respiratory symptoms such as runny nose and congestion in infants at 18 months of age.
Data confirm that DHA is crucial for favorable health outcomes in adults as well. For example, high DHA levels in middle-aged people have been positively correlated with better cognitive scores compared to those with low DHA levels.
Additionally, clinical studies have shown that DHA supplementation may have a positive impact on memory scores in older adults, and DHA supplementation may also benefit sperm motility and morphology in men with a history of infertility.
