Why is DHA important for my child's brain and vision?Updated a day ago

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

It's naturally found in high concentrations in brain cell membranes and the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye.

What does DHA do?

  • Brain health: DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function.*

  • Vision: DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.*

  • Infant visual development: DHA intake contributes to normal visual development in infants up to 12 months of age.**

Where does DHA come from?

DHA is naturally found in oily fish such as salmon, sardines and mackerel.

If your child doesn't regularly eat oily fish, Efamol Kids Omega-3 DHA Drops offer a convenient way to provide DHA as part of their daily nutritional routine.

Each 1ml serving provides 250mg DHA, with a gentle lemon flavour and no strong fishy taste.

The beneficial effect for normal brain function and vision is obtained with a daily intake of 250mg DHA.

**The beneficial effect for infant visual development is obtained with a daily intake of 100mg DHA.
