Berry DHA is an effective combination of omega-3 fatty acids, anthocyanins, and vitamin C that helps support brain and cardiovascular health. Emulsified oils have superior absorption than fish oils due to improved digestion by pancreatic lipase enzymes.1 DHA is essential to support pre- and postnatal brain development, as it is highly present on neuronal synapses.2 Rods and cones in the retina are rich in DHA, the omega-3 fatty acid necessary for the proper development of retinal structure and visual acuity in infants.2 DHA and EPA lower triglyceride production by increasing fatty acid metabolism by stimulating PPARα in the liver.3,4 Berry DHA provides 15 mg of anthocyanins per teaspoon, which is equivalent to approximately 75 g of fresh strawberries.5
