Omega-3 DHA

Smarter than your average yogurt.

Docosahexaenoic acid. Whew. DHA belongs to a category of healthy fatty acids known as Omega-3's. Found in high concentrations in the tissues of the brain and eye, Omega-3 DHA helps support healthy function in these areas. DHA has also been shown to help support the heart, and has been studied for potential benefits in PMS and menopause.

Although DHA is a beneficial nutrient for everyone, studies show that it is especially valuable for pregnant and lactating women and their infants, in order to support healthy development of the fast-growing fetal and infant brain and nervous system.

Unfortunately most Americans don't consume as much DHA as they should. In fact, the Institute of Medicine reports that most women get less than 69mg of Omega-3 DHA per day - less than half of the suggested 160mg daily intake.

While many DHA products use a fish-derived form of the nutrient, Rachel's uses life'sDHA™, which is 100% vegetarian. Derived from aquatic plants, life'sDHA™ is produced using sustainable methods that do not deplete ocean resources. life'sDHA™ carries none of the possible risks associated with ocean-borne contaminants, and has no impact on flavor. By using life'sDHA™, we keep Rachel's yogurt purely, deliciously vegetarian.

DHA-fortified dairy products offer a convenient way to bring more Omega-3 DHA into your everyday diet. Rachel's yogurt is an excellent source of DHA, fortified with 32mg in each delicious serving.
