I.Q. Neuromans DHA

Food for your brain and eyes! I.Q. is primarily DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid. DHA is the building block of human brain and eye tissue. In fact, your brain relies on this essential fatty acid to function optimally. People get the most DHA from foods such as organ meats, fish and eggs. However, today the average American's intake of DHA is at its lowest. It seems that in an effort to avoid "bad" saturated fats, we have lost the "good" fats like DHA. It is essential that children and adults alike have adequate levels of DHA. Research has shown that low levels of DHA are correlated to changes in disposition, memory loss, and visual and other neurological conditions. I.Q. contains Neuromins DHA from microalgae, providing you with an exceptional vegetarian source of DHA.

The human brain is the most complicated organization of matter known to mankind. Approximately ten billion nerve cells and nearly one hundred billion smaller supporting cells are packed into its three pounds. Each Nerve cell is connected to many other nerve cells in a complex pattern in which tiny electrical currents flow in any of a vast number of possible pathways.

DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid)

Building Block of the Brain

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid, is the building block of human brain tissue. It is the primary structural fatty acid in the gray matter of the brain and retina of the eye. Humans obtain DHA from their diets, initially through the placenta and from breast milk. DHA is essential for brain and eye development and for mental and visual function. Fish provide a rich source of DHA but like humans, fish do not adequately synthesize it. They obtain DHA from microalgae, its original source and the source of DHA in "I.Q.". Royal Body Care's brand of DHA, produced from microalgae under tightly controlled food manufacturing conditions, provides the only vegetarian source of DHA.

DHA is essential for optimal brain and eye function. But the average American's diet is low in DHA because of the decline in the consumption of dietary sources such as red meat, animal organ meats and eggs, and an increase in consumption of vegetable oils. RBC's DHA puts DHA back in the diet and helps maintain healthy blood levels of DHA.

A 1996 poll of 800 Americans commissioned by the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) found that staying mentally sharp as they grow older is important to more people (36 percent) than avoiding physical disability (20 percent) or a change in physical appearance (6 percent). Similarly, a 1996 Yankelovich survey found that the biggest fear among Americans aged 51 and older was senility, followed by aging.

DHA in the diet is critically important for pregnant and nursing women. Studies show that breast-fed babies have IQ advantages over babies fed formula without DHA. Unfortunately, DHA levels in the breast milk of U.S. women are among the lowest in the world.

DHA Is Not DHEA

DHA and DHEA are two completely different substances.  DHA is Docosahexaenoic acid, and omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid that is the primary structural fatty acid in the gray matter of the brain and retina of the eye.

     DHEA is short for dehydroepiandrosterone, a steroid hormone made by the adrenal glands located just above the kidneys.

 

 

Changes in Disposition and Memory

Loss Linked To Low Levels of DHA

Everyone needs DHA. Cells in the brain, retina, and other parts of the nervous system have connecting arms that transport electrical currents, sending messages throughout the body. DHA ensures the optimal composition of nerve cell membranes necessary for the most effective transmission of these signals. Fortunately, most people have some, but the average American's diet is low in DHA and low levels of DHA have been correlated with changes in disposition, memory loss, and visual and other neurological conditions.*

How Much DHA Does A Body Need?

Each of us is unique. Our bodies synthesize a small amount of DHA naturally, but we get most of our DHA through the diet from eggs, red meats, fish and animal organ meats. However, in avoiding "bad" saturated fats, we have lost "good" fats like DHA.

Today, the average American's daily intake of DHA is estimated to be 100 mg lower than it was about 50 years ago and is one of the lowest in the world. An additional 200mg of DHA per day returns the breast milk of the average American mother to near historical levels.

DHA Safe At Any Age

Eye-Q! Royal Body Care's DHA is as safe and as beneficial for elderly people as it is for any other adults, and elderly people have even more things going against them when it comes to nutrition: their diets typically become less varied, the amount of food they eat may decrease, and their nutrition intake may decline.

The DHA in Eye-Q! Royal Body Care's capsules is so safe it has been incorporated into infant formulas in Europe.

DHA Quick Facts

    Fact 1.

DHA is the most abundant structural fat in the brain and retina.

      Fact 2.

Dietary trends indicate that DHA intake in the U.S. has declined by about 50% over the last 50 years.

     Fact 3.

An expert committee of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (UN) has recommended that all pre-term and term infant formulas contain DHA at levels found in breast milk.

     Fact 4.

DHA is an important component of breast milk but U.S. infant formulas do not currently contain DHA. DHA is essential for brain and eye development in infants.

     Fact 5.

Low DHA levels are associated with behavior problems in children and neurological conditions in adults.
