What is DHA?
DHA is one of the primary building blocks of the brain and the eyes. It ensures optimal composition of cells in the brain, retina, heart and parts of the nervous system. These cells transport electrical currents that send messages throughout the body. In the fetus and young infants, DHA is essential for proper growth and development of the brain, nervous system and the retina of the eye. Because DHA is present in breast milk and not in cow’s milk, many physicians recommend breast-feeding or the use of infant formula containing DHA.*
Supplement Spot also carries a Chewable Kid’s DHA that’s orange flavored.
