We explored the effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on cadmium (Cd) exposure, a common pollutant that risks human health through the food chain. Our investigation focused on how DHA might help mitigate the harmful effects of Cd, particularly by looking at changes in gut microbiota.

The study involved examining mice that had been exposed to cadmium. We observed that DHA significantly boosted the amount of cadmium expelled in feces while reducing the levels of cadmium accumulated in various organs. Our findings highlighted a particularly encouraging increase in Parabacteroides, a beneficial bacteria in the gut that appeared to play a crucial role in this process.

We noted that the representative strain of Parabacteroides not only demonstrated the ability to reduce Cd toxicity but also helped repair gut damage inflicted by cadmium exposure. Furthermore, DHA effectively reduced cadmium levels in organs such as the liver, spleen, and kidneys, leading to a noticeable increase in cadmium excretion.

Overall, our results suggest that DHA may have significant potential in promoting the excretion of cadmium in instances of exposure. This insight offers a fascinating avenue for considering DHA as a supportive treatment option for handling heavy metal toxicity.

Helps with Hashimoto

Stomach trouble – I feel it is beneficial for my Hashimoto's condition, although I often experience an upset stomach. It tends to be less severe when I take it with food.

Improves anxiety
I have repurchased these pills numerous times now. Both my boyfriend and I take them regularly. He has noted a significant improvement in his stress levels, anxiety, and mood. He continually asks me to reorder and even to gift them to his family as well. This product is available at our local Whole Foods, but at a much higher price, so we prefer purchasing it from iHerb.
