DHA is essential for the development of a fetus’s eyes and brain, especially during the last three months of pregnancy. It makes up 10 to 15 percent of the total lipid amount of the cerebral cortex.
DHA is also concentrated in the light-sensitive cells at the back of the eyes, where it accounts for as much as 50 percent of the total lipid amount of each retina.
For rest of the world where rich diversity and population of Bos Indicus not present, source is only animal – fish, eggs and meat. Violent ways. But Indians can leverage benefits if they wake up and protect mother Gau.
Desi Cow (Bos Indicus) A2 breed’s prasad (ethically procured) i.e. milk, butter milk, ghee is full of DHA.
Put your societal efforts in saving cow. She is solution for almost all healthcare issues we have.

Brain development suffers from lack of fish oil fatty acids, UCI study finds
These fatty acids are precursors of docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, which plays a key role in the healthy creation of the central nervous system. In their study, which used female frogs and tadpoles, the UCI researchers were able to see how DHA-deficient brain tissue fostered poorly developed neurons and limited numbers of synapses, the vital conduits that allow neurons to communicate with each other.
“Additionally, when we changed the diets of DHA-deficient mothers to include a proper level of this dietary fatty acid, neuronal and synaptic growth flourished and returned to normal in the following generation of tadpoles,” Cohen-Cory said.
