Description

Omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA, are essential for healthy brain development and function throughout all stages of life.* DHA concentrates in the brain and throughout the central nervous system. It particularly accumulates in the brain during fetal development and early childhood. Throughout adulthood it is essential to maintain the level of DHA that was established early in life.

Because the body makes very little DHA or EPA naturally, it is essential that these fatty acids be acquired by diet or supplementation. Thorne’s Advanced DHA is a high-DHA/moderate-EPA fish oil supplement. Containing 650 mg DHA and 200 mg EPA per 2-gelcap serving, Advanced DHA is the perfect choice for cognitive support of the aging brain.*

FAQs
Frequently asked question

Is Advanced DHA worth buying if I already take a general fish oil supplement?

Yes. General fish oil supplements often contain low or inconsistent levels of DHA. Advanced DHA is specifically formulated to deliver a concentrated, reliable dose of DHA — the omega-3 most critical for brain and nervous system health. If cognitive support and brain function are your goals, a dedicated DHA supplement offers more targeted benefits than a standard fish oil product.

What is DHA and why is it important?

DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is an omega-3 fatty acid that concentrates in the brain and central nervous system. It plays a critical role in brain development during fetal growth and early childhood, and must be maintained throughout adulthood for healthy cognitive function. Since the body produces very little DHA on its own, getting it through diet or supplementation is essential.

Who should consider taking Advanced DHA?

Advanced DHA is beneficial for a wide range of people — including pregnant or breastfeeding women supporting fetal brain development, children in key growth stages, and adults looking to maintain cognitive health. Anyone who doesn't regularly consume fatty fish may also benefit, as fish is one of the few significant dietary sources of DHA and EPA.

What is the difference between DHA and EPA?

Both DHA and EPA are omega-3 fatty acids, but they serve different primary roles. DHA is the key structural fat in the brain and eyes, making it vital for cognitive and visual health. EPA is more associated with inflammation regulation and heart health. Advanced DHA focuses on delivering DHA to support brain and nervous system function specifically.

How should I take Advanced DHA for best results?

For optimal absorption, take Advanced DHA with a meal that contains healthy fats, as omega-3s are fat-soluble nutrients. Consistent daily use is important since DHA levels in the brain are built and maintained over time. Always follow the dosage instructions on the product label, and consult your healthcare provider if you have any medical conditions or take medications.
