DHA Provides Support for Cardio Health

December 2009

A daily 200 mg dose of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) apparently supports cardiovascular system health in healthy men, according to a small study from France. The study was published in the FASEB Journal, an arm of The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biologies. Led by Dr. Evelyn Vericel of the Universite de Lyon, Lyon, France, the French researchers recruited 12 healthy men aged between 53 and 65 and assigned them to consume increasing doses of DHA of 200, 400, 800 and 1,600 mg per day for two weeks. Researchers reported that after two weeks of 200 mg per day an “antioxidant effect” was promoted that supported a healthy cardiovascular system. Commenting independently on the study, Gerald Weissmann, M.D., editor-in-chief of the FASEB Journal said: “Now that we have a very good idea about how much DHA is just right, the next step is to try it out in an expanded clinical trial.”
