Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid, promotes health and development of the brain. DHA crosses the blood-brain barrier either by passive diffusion or active transport. Passive diffusion declines with age, following a traumatic brain injury, or in people with the APOE4 gene. The phospholipid form of DHA, abundant in fish roe, directs DHA into the brain via active transport, thus bypassing the reliance on passive diffusion. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses DHA bioavailability and describes her personal DHA regimen, which includes dietary and supplemental sources of omega-3 fatty acids.
