3.What is DHA and where does it come from?
Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) is a type of Omega-3 fatty acid. It is found naturally in most tissues of the body and accounts for up to 20 percent of total brain mass. The DHA in NESTLÉ JUICY JUICE FRUIT JUICE BEVERAGE with DHA is derived from highly refined tuna fish oil.
While DHA is naturally found in breast milk, once infants move on to eating more solid foods, primary food sources of DHA include oily fish (like herring, salmon, sardines, rainbow trout, canned tuna), and organ meats. More food products are now being fortified with DHA so that children and adults can benefit from this important nutrient.

5.If my child is allergic to fish, will she be allergic to NESTLÉ JUICY JUICE FRUIT JUICE BEVERAGE with DHA?
Allergic reactions are caused by certain proteins in foods. In making highly refined oils, the vast majority of proteins, if not all, are removed. According to allergen experts, the risk of getting an allergic reaction from highly refined oils of allergenic foods is very low. So, the fish-allergic consumer likely can safely consume this product, however we recommend that you discuss with your pediatrician if there are concerns.

6.Is there such a thing as too much DHA?
Adequate intake of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the parent compound of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for kids ranges from 500 mg per day for infants to 1600 mg per day for teen-aged boys. Because the US population generally consume lower intakes of fish (and hence DHA) compared to populations in some other countries, it is unlikely that one will get too much DHA in the diet.
