DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid which is essential for healthy brain and eye function. It cannot be produced in large quantities by the body; therefore, it has to be obtained through diet or supplementation. Omega-3s are important components of cell membranes.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, nutritional requirements for DHA are increased as it is utilised for the normal development of the brain, nervous system and eyes of the growing foetus and baby. DHA can be obtained through diet by eating fish and seafood products, which are quite often not consumed at all or not consumed in sufficient quantities.

While many people associate DHA Omega-3 supplements with fish oil, it's the algae that fish feed on that makes them a rich source. Elevit DHA is derived directly from this microalgae and is a fish-free, sustainable source of this essential nutrient. 

Elevit DHA for Pregnancy and Breastfeeding supports the first 1000 days of life (from conception to a child's second birthday).
