Nordic Naturals DHA is marketed as a highly concentrated DHA formula designed to support learning, memory and mood. According to the manufacturer, the formula is suited for children, teenagers and pregnant women, but does not further explain the reasons the formula specifically targets these groups of patients.

DHA or Docosahexaenoic acid is an Omega-3 fatty acid which plays an essential part in brain health. Furthermore, there is research that concluded that DHA consumption may be directly related to decreased rates of depression. Still, large-scale trials are required before it can be recommended in treatment therapies against depression and other mood related disorders.

The manufacturer is the American company Nordic Naturals, a company set up in the mid 1980’s with an excellent reputation. According to the company, the great majority of their products are third party tested for environmental toxins such as heavy metals or dioxins, thus ensuring that every product exceeds international pharmaceutical standards.
