DHA is an omega 3 fatty acid. It is found in cold water fish & fish oil supplements. It is believed that DHA is essential for proper brain functioning in adults and that it may help lower risk of heart disease. Our bodies don't naturally produce enough DHA so we must get the amount we need from our diets or supplements.

Comments about Nordic Naturals DHA 1000, Soft Gels, Strawberry, 60 ea:
I am so happy to have found this product! I hate, hate, HATE fish, so it's really hard for me to get the recommended omega-3 fatty acids, especially the EPA/DHA forms, that my doctor recommended for my slightly high cholesterol (1,000-2,000 mg/day). Now that I am also trying to conceive, it's even more important for me to get these important supplements to help build healthy brain and nerve function for my hopefully soon-to-be fetus. I was pleasantly surprised to get no fish smell at all when I opened the bottle, just a pleasant strawberry smell. I tested this by taking it mid afternoon while I already had heartburn (since most fish oils cause indigestion for me), and it did not make my heartburn any worse, nor did it make me burp like most do. What little I did burp, I got no repeat...neither strawberry nor fish.
I get extremely nauseated with most fish oils I have tried, and even the thought of fish can put me off food, so I am extremely picky when it comes to omega-3 sources. The recommended dose (note it's 2 gel caps) puts me in the range my doctor recommended, and I can be confident that I will have no trouble taking these even with dreaded morning sickness. Plus, I can get that dose without taking 2 times or more the dose of other omega 3 sources (such as krill oil where I would need to take at least 4 gels instead of that company's dose of 1). I can simply take the dose Nordic Naturals provides (2 gels) to get all the omega-3 I need per day. Thank you Nordic Naturals!!

I take this first thing in the morning after breakfast and I does not upset my stomach. They are large pills but they go down easy and no fish burps. I always feel so much better taking these it seems to help with my brain fog which is caused by my onset of menopause.

This is the fish oil DHA product that finally after 2 years brought my husband's cholesterol and triglycerides levels down to normal without changing our already healthy diet. He was also diagnosed with idiopathic cardimyopathy 2 1/2 years ago. His triglycerides had been out of control. Now his heart is normal again and his triglycerides are at 163. I did a lot of research on fish oil products before buying these and quickly discovered that the DHA in fish oil from cold water fish is most important for cardiovascular health. While EPA is important, sufficient amounts of EPA can be otained in other foods such as vegetables. For the past 8 years out diet has consisted of fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, no beef, no pork, wild caught fish, small amounts of fat free dairy and very few eggs...so diet was not my husband's problem. This product has saved his health. I hope they never stop making it. I only wish they sold bigger bottles.
