Look after your brain health at every age

For over 25 years, Efamol has conducted numerous clinical trials into the role of DHA and brain function. Efamol was a pioneer in discovering the importance of DHA for brain health¹, especially in children.

Our brains are mostly made up of fat, with DHA being the most abundant omega 3 fatty acid, making up to 50 percent of the fatty acids in some brain cells. It forms the outer structure of our cells and has been found to play a unique role in normal brain development² and function¹. Along with the structural role DHA plays in the brain, it is also involved in cell signalling, which is how your brain cells communicate with each other.

Efamol’s range is developed for brain health at every age…

Pregnancy & early years

DHA is beneficial from the foetal stage. As the brain starts to develop², it accumulates in a baby’s brain. During pregnancy, and for the duration of breastfeeding, a mother’s diet and body stores provide the foetus and baby with DHA for normal brain development. Mothers need to obtain enough DHA to support their needs and those of the developing child².

Efamol® Kids Omega 3 DHA Drops, £13.99

High-strength omega 3:

• Suitable for babies from 6 months and young children
• A great choice if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you find it hard to digest capsules
• Easy to mix or hide into foods with its natural lemon flavour
• 1ml daily intake contains 400mg of DHA, which helps to support normal brain function and vision¹

Childhood

Brain DHA levels continue to increase throughout childhood and adolescence, developing faster than any other stage in life. New connections between the brain and nerve cells are made in response to new experiences and environments. This constant change of brain networks helps with the development of visual, attentional and motor skills, cognition and language.

Adults

Brain development continues into early adulthood so DHA continues to be needed. The brain breaks down small amounts of DHA daily, so a good dietary intake of DHA remains important across the whole lifespan, particularly for its roles in both vision and brain function. Combined with EPA, it plays an important role in the function of the heart³.

Older adults

As we age, a few things happen to our brain chemistry, its size and structure. Our brains begin to shrink after the age of 40 at a rate of around five percent every 10 years and possibly even quicker after the age of 70. Studies suggest that an adequate amount of DHA is important for the health of the adult brain and contributes to brain function as we age.
