DHA FACTS Why do we need DHA? DHA is an important building block in all our cells. DHA helps manage communications between cells in our nervous system. DHA is critical for the development and function of the brain and eyes. DHA comprises 8-10% of the weight of our brain and 60% of all the fat in our eyes. DHA keeps our blood vessels flexible rather than stiff and hard. DHA helps sustain normal blood pressure. DHA helps promote normal blood clotting. DHA helps regulate the fat profile of our blood, specifically triglyceride levels. Where do we get DHA? DHA is crucial throughout life. We first get it as developing infants in our mother's womb and later from her breast milk. After infancy however, we can only obtain DHA from cold water fatty fish such as salmon. Americans have one of the lowest intakes of fish--only 15 pounds per year- and thus, one of the lowest levels of DHA intake in the world. After years of research, Gold Circle Farms now offers a new food source of DHA-Gold Circle Farms eggs. These all natural eggs are from hens fed a special DHA-rich diet. Three to four Gold Circle Farms eggs provide a similar amount of DHA as a three-ounce serving of salmon. Consuming just one serving of salmon a week has been associated with heart benefits. Incorporating Gold Circle Farms eggs into your diet will increase your DHA supply so you can enjoy the health benefits of DHA.
