A number of research showed that the benefit of DHA is important to children intelligence. It is not surprising when a various kinds of meal products for children, started from milk, porridge, biscuit, to supplements containing DHA are best seller among parents. But, is it dangerous to have excessive DHA?

“The greater DHA contents are consumed by children, the better. There is no side effect of excessive DHA. Nevertheless, its consumption can be made the same as drinking water. Drinking much water is good for a health, but sometimes when drinking too much water can make our body ill so it should be adjusted to each body’s absorption,” dr Michael J Fitzgerald, MD, from University of Health Sciences, Chicago, Illionis, said on Press Release about the growth and development of children.

How Much DHA Needed?

The amount of DHA which are recommended to be daily consumed is about 200 mg a day. That amount can be obtained from mother’s milk, chicken, milk, egg, and also fish. ” the two pieces of chicken meat contain 39 mg DHA, while steak of tuna and salmon fish contain 600 mg DHA which can fulfill DHA need for three days,” dr Fitz said.

When the amount of DHA consumed is minimal, we can consume alternative supplement using omega 3 containing 200 mg DHA. “Make sure that you look at the content list displayed on medicine box containing 200 mg DHA not merely containing DHA,” dr Fitz said.
