| Since fish is the major source of DHA in the human diet, non-fish eaters and vegetarians have a particularly low intake of long-chain omega-3 PUFAs. Although a vegetarian diet tends to be rather low in fat and in general is regarded as very healthy, the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of vegetarians usually is reported to be even higher than of omnivores. Therefore vegetarians can benefit even more from DHA supplementation with regard to mental health & visual function, cardiovascular health and during pregnancy. When considering supplementation, vegetarians should keep in mind that DHAid™ is a vegetarian source of DHA and therefore ideal to enrich a vegetarian diet with essential omega-3 PUFAs. |
