Docosahexaenoate

Docosahexaenoate (DHA) is an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid crucial for brain health, eye function, and reducing inflammation. Your body produces small amounts from plant sources, but most comes from fish and seafood or supplements. Blood DHA levels reflect your intake and omega-3 status. Low DHA is associated with cognitive decline, depression, and increased cardiovascular risk. This test is particularly useful for monitoring supplementation, assessing cardiovascular risk, or investigating cognitive or mood concerns.
