What Is It?
DHA Enhance is an ultra-pure fish oil concentrate that
provides the benefits of omega-3 essential fatty acids for
children in a convenient, chewable, lemon-flavored
capsule. It may be helpful for promoting healthy vision

Uses For DHA Enhance
Mental and Visual Function: Fish oil promotes healthy
mental function and maturation of the central nervous
system, including support for cell health and neurotransmission.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3
long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid, is a component of
neuronal and retinal cellular membranes and supports
healthy cognitive and visual function. A longitudinal study
suggest that infants born to mothers with higher DHA
status demonstrated healthy cognitive capacity at 12 and
18 months. A randomized double blind study suggested
that 4 year olds born to mothers who had taken fish oil
had healthy cognitive function. Several studies have also
revealed a relationship between dietary omega-3 fatty
acids, healthy brain function and sleep patterns.*
Respiratory Health: Double blind randomized studies
indicate that fish oil supplementation may promote
healthy respiratory function in children. The omega-3 fatty
acids EPA and DHA support respiratory health, including
healthy bronchial smooth muscle function by moderating
leukotriene and interleukin production.*
Immune Health: Omega-3 essential fatty acids may also
support immune health in children, at least in part by
maintaining healthy cytokine activity at the level of gene
expression.*
