It is also especially important for children to
have higher levels of one of the components
of Fish Oils which is DHA (Docosahexaenoic
acid). This element of fish oils helps the brain
and nervous system develop. That is why it
is important to make sure children, pregnant
women, and breastfeeding moms get a
proper dose of DHA and fish oils.
Recent studies have shown that by increasing
intake of DHA in infants into the school-age
years may be an easy way to generate
measurable improvements in their brain
function including memory, intelligence, and
concentration.
DHA and the other component of fish oil
EPA are only found in fish, fish oils, and krill
oil. Because of the known benefits of brain
development, many formulas and children’s
foods are now fortified with DHA. It is
important to supplement or to utilize krill oil.
