Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid found in fish and other marine life. It is a key component of cell membranes and is essential for proper brain and eye development. As a food ingredient, DHA is used to fortify a variety of products, including infant formula, milk, yogurt, and eggs. It is also used in dietary supplements and functional foods. DHA is often derived from fish oil, but can also be produced from microalgae. DHA is gaining popularity as a health-promoting ingredient due to its potential to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, improve cognitive function, and reduce inflammation. It is also being studied for its potential to improve mental health and reduce the risk of certain cancers. Companies in the DHA market include DSM, BASF, Croda, Cargill, and Omega Protein.
