Description
Docosahexaenoyl glycine consists of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) with glycine attached at its carboxy terminus. The ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) found in fish oils provide cardiovascular benefits. DHA, a C22:6 PUFA, is the most abundant ω-3 fatty acid in neural tissues, especially in the retina and brain. It can be synthesized from other dietary ω-3 PUFAs or taken as a nutritional supplement.
