| cis-4,7,10,13,16,19-Docosahexaenoic acid (also known as DHA or cervonic acid) is one of the omega-3 fatty acids (a group of highly unsaturated fatty acids). As for most omega-3 fatty acids, good sources of DHA include fish oils and other seafoods. DHA plays a key role in human brain development and function and is also found in high concentration in the retina, central nervous system and skin. As such DHA is a key nutrient which is widely used as a dietary supplement, particularly for infants and pregnant women, with its potential health benefits currently being investigated across a number of different disease areas.
