Why does Efamol Active Memory contain DHA?Updated a day ago

DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is an omega-3 fatty acid that plays an important structural role in the brain.

It's naturally found in high concentrations in brain cell membranes, particularly in nerve cells.

DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and vision, making it an important nutrient throughout adulthood.*

Why might I need more DHA?

Your body can make a small amount of DHA from plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, but this conversion is limited.

The main dietary sources of DHA are oily fish such as salmon, sardines and mackerel.

The NHS recommends eating at least two portions of fish each week, including one portion of oily fish.

If you rarely eat oily fish, a DHA-rich supplement such as Active Memory can help increase your intake.

The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250mg DHA.
