No pharmaceutical drug or nutrient is known to have so many wide ranging benefits as Omega 3’s DHA and EPA. They have important structural and physiological roles in the human body. Of these two essential nutrients DHA is more important and essential for children.
DHA is a necessary structural component of the brain, its visual cortex and retina (eyes). DHA uptake into these tissues is maximum during the second half of pregnancy and infancy. DHA brain content increases 30 fold from 24th week of pregnancy to age 2 years, therefore adequate daily DHA intake is essential for pregnant, nursing mothers and children of all ages to improve DHA levels.
DHA is the most abundant fatty acid in the brain, it plays a major role in the structural integrity of brain cells. Low DHA levels are known to adversely influence behavior and mental performance. DHA levels have been correlated with changes in disposition, behavior, memory and visual function as well as various mood disorders in children and adults.
The average DHA content of US population is 3.7% compared to the Japanese, 6.8%. The recommended goal is 7%. DHA is an essential daily nutrient for children.
Whiz Kids DHA provides a convenient way of supplementing this important daily requirement without the difficulty of swallowing capsules and the fishy taste of liquids which children dislike. Whiz Kids tastes great with natural orange flavor, is easily chewable, and contains no artificial flavoring or preservatives.
