Brain function
DHA contributes to maintenance of normal brain function at 250 mg/day (EU Reg. 432/2012).
Vision
DHA contributes to maintenance of normal vision at 250 mg/day (EU Reg. 432/2012).
These reflect established research on the fatty acids the oil contains. Health claims on finished supplements are the brand owner's regulatory responsibility.
