DHA

DHA
DHA(Docosahexanoic acid) is found in the fat of the eyeballs of back-blue fishes such as tuna, mackerel, pacific saury, and sardiness. It is an important element of both the brain and the retinas. Since the body does not produce enough DHA, it is necessary to eat foods that are rich in it.

DHA makes up about 10% of the brain lipids and is found in many of the phospholipids that form brain cells.
DHA is omega-3-based fatty acid, and one of the unsaturated fatty acids that have double bonds.
A double bond starts at the third carbon, and it is this that results in classification as an omega-3 fatty acid.
This omega fatty acid reduces bad LDL-cholesterol and increases good cholesterol in the body, as well as aids in the circulation of the blood.

Characteristics

• As a result of its vast experience with lipid chemicals in the food industry, Doosan Biotech has succeeded in producing a DHA series of high purity. The company has also resolved the problems of the DHA-specific smell and rapid oxidation.

Efficacy and Function

• Aids brain development
  As primary component of brain cells, DHA is able to soften the membrane structure of brain cells to increase the transfer speed of information and to improve memory and learning abilities. This chemical is also important for the smooth development of the brains of immature infants.
  The fat of human brain cells contains about 10% of DHA. If the brain cells lack DHA, cell membranes are unable to form, resulting in the possibility of brain damage.
  One of the side effects of this is that the information transfer rate of the brain is hampered. This reduces memory, judgment, and concentration abilities.
  
  
• Prevents dementia
  If the front tip of synapse (nerve cell junction that transfers information) lacks DHA, information transfer rates and memory are affected. This phenomenon is one of the causes of elderly dementia.
  DHA also prevents the obstruction of blood vessels in the brain.
  
  
• Reduces lipids (cholesterol and neutral fat) in blood
  DHA reduces blood coagulation to prevent thrombus and thus lowers the amount of cholesterol in the blood.
  
  
• Health of eyes
  One of the human body parts that contain the most DHA is the retina cell of eye, which is located in the cell membrane forming the outer root of visual cells It interacts with the rhodopsins of membrane proteins and phospholipids, and is responsible for the individual's ability to see. Therefore, some research reports suggest that DHA helps to reduce eye fatigue and can improve vision.
  As computer and TV use is common these days, eye fatigue and poor vision are wide-spread problems.
  Those who need to protect their eyes should consider taking DHA in.
