Overview: Max DHA (Jarrow) Each bottle, 180 softgels. Each softgel, 607 mg. This is a fish oil supplement, containing 500 mg each softgel of fish oil (comprised of different fatty acids) in a natural glyceride form.

DHA is a form of fat found in large amounts in the brain and this supplement has been proposed as another form of a "smart drug." Omega-3 fatty acids are consumed in higher quantities by different peoples which is associated with improved cardiovascular health. North American diets tend to contain far lower quantities and generally are deficient in omega-3 fattyacids. The primary fatty acid is the DHA or docosahexaenoic acid, which is one kind of omega-3 fatty acid. This constitutes 50% of the fish oil product. Another 20% or 100 mg is EPA, another omega-3 fatty acid (known as eicosapentaenoic acid) and 10% is stearidonic acid (also omega-3). The product also contains 5 mg of gamma tocopherol (in the vitamin E family) and 2 mg of ascorbyl palmitate, which, as antioxidants, protect the long-chain fatty acids from being oxidized.

Remember that the balance of fats you eat is the first, most important step to consider. Dump the hydrogenated fats (found in cookies, margarine and lots of things; read labels!), limit saturated fat intake (dairy, red meat, fried stuff) and increase good fat intake (deep sea fish like salmon, tuna; olive oil, hemp oil, etc.)

Suggested use is 1-2 softgelswith each meal. Recent data, however, suggest that 6-8 capsules may be needed for an effect on improving cholesterol levels.

USAGE: Take 1-2 softgels with each meal, or as directed by your qualified health consultant. For pregnancy or lactation, take 1 to 2 softgels per day; for children give 1 softgel per day.
