Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) They are a structural part of the body's cell membranes. DHA in particular is present in high concentration in the retina and in nerve structures. Functionally, DHA plays a fundamental role in mediating the biochemical processes that allow signals to be transmitted between nerve cells. EPA and DHA released from membrane phospholipids are precursors of molecules known as eicosanoids (prostaglandins, prostacyclins, thromboxanes, leukotrienes and lipoxins) and, more recently, docosanoids (docosatrienes and resolvins). Omega-3 DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision with a daily intake of 250 mg.
Ingredients Purified tuna oil standardised in omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA; natural tocopherols; lemon flavouring.
