What is the best time for infants to take DHA

DHA for infants is recommended to be taken from one month after birth until 3 weeks of age. There is no saying which time period is the best time to take it, any time of the day is fine, but taking it in the morning has a relatively good absorption effect. DHA is an important nutrient for the human body, containing a large amount of unsaturated fatty acids, in infancy and early childhood, appropriate supplementation can promote the development of vision and brain nerve. Since DHA cannot be synthesized in the body, it needs to be acquired through external intake. Infancy is a critical period when the optic nerve and brain develop more rapidly, so it is recommended that infants start supplementation one month after birth until the age of 3 weeks. Infants can take DHA at any time of the day, but it is relatively better absorbed when taken half an hour after milk in the morning. When parents choose DHA, it is best to choose the algal oil type, which has a high absorption rate.
