With increasing awareness of the importance of DHA, many people realize that they need to make a change to their diet by adding DHA-rich foods or supplements.

A large, randomized, placebo-controlled nutritional study recently published in Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association has demonstrated the benefits of algal DHA in maintaining and improving brain health in older adults. In this study, healthy older adults (55+) with a mild memory complaint who took 900 mg of algal DHA for six months demonstrated a significant reduction in errors on a memory test. When compared to the performance of typical adults their age, the cognitive improvement demonstrated by the DHA supplemented group was equivalent to having the learning and memory skills of someone more than three years younger.*


Regardless of your age, taking steps now — such as exercising your brain with crossword puzzles, getting enough sleep and supplementing with algal DHA — can help maintain your memory


life'sDHA, the same algal source of DHA used in this study and the only source of DHA shown in a clinical study to improve memory, can now be found in the products below.




*DHA has not been shown to be effective in providing cognitive benefits in a diseased population.
