Product Description:
AOR Max DHA 500mg, 100 softgels.
AOR Max DHA is a fish oil concentrate high in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 fatty acid found in high concentrations in the brain and retina. Recent research has surprisingly linked DHA, rather than EPA, to cardiovascular health, apparently through its effects on cytokines (immune cell regulatory messengers). Max DHA is molecular-distilled to remove contaminants such as heavy metals and organochlorines (including PCB's).
Experimental and clinical results are now confirming that EPA and DHA play different roles in body functions. EPA seems to exert its activity on the cardiovascular system by suppression of arachidonic acid and series-2 (“bad”) eicosanoids. The protective effects of DHA may lie in its ability to suppress the negative effects of cytokines (immune cell regulators) on the blood vessels, and possibly its impact on mitochondrial function. Of the two, DHA is harder for your body to make, and is more flexible in its ability to respond to the body’s needs. In times of need, it is rather difficult for EPA to convert into DHA, while DHA can be retroconverted to EPA as needed. This makes regular DHA intake – from diet or supplements – essential to maintaining high levels in the body.
The most important period in supplying adequate DHA is during the first three months before conception. This is an important time for cell commitment and growth. Because of its importance in nourishing the developing brain retina, DHA in the maternal diet is a factor in birth weight of newborns. The fatty acids found in mother’s milk contain 0.2% DHA. It is for this reason that infants fed breast milk are healthier and have better visual acuity.
