Most people now appreciate the value of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, but it turns out there’s another fatty acid that may be just as important. It’s called docosapentaenoic acid, or DPA, and emerging research suggests that it plays a key role in helping other fatty acids work in the body and providing its own unique benefits. Different fish oils contain different levels of DPA, which may explain the differences in benefits seen in scientific studies.

Common fish oils used in supplements, such as sardine and salmon, often contain 3% DPA or less, while others contain less than 1%. Swanson Super DPA Fish Oil, an award-winning innovation in omega-3 supplementation, is made from high-DPA fish that contain 70% omega-3, providing 450 mg DHA, 85 mg DPA, and 45 mg EPA in each 1,000 mg softgel. If you’re taking another fish oil supplement, you may be missing an important part of the omega-3 equation. Switch to Swanson for a comprehensive supply of essential fatty acids.

Studies have shown that adding EPA and DHA to a pregnant woman's diet has a positive effect on the child's visual and cognitive development. Recent developments suggest that the quality of the mother's nutrient supply during the period of rapid brain development in pregnancy has a lasting effect on later brain function at school age. Omega-3 fatty acids also have a positive effect on the pregnancy itself.
