Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid that is a primary structural component of the human brain, cerebral cortex, skin, and retina. This polyunsaturated fatty acid consists of a 22-carbon chain with six double bonds, integral for its fluid and flexible properties, which are essential to its function in cell membranes. DHA is predominantly obtained through dietary sources such as fish and algae, underscoring its importance in nutritional science.

The biological roles of DHA extend beyond basic structural functions; it is crucial for the development and maintenance of brain health and visual acuity, and it plays a significant role in modulating inflammation and protecting against heart diseases. The breadth of DHA's impact on health makes it a subject of intense research, particularly in the context of neurodevelopmental disorders, cardiovascular health, and aging. Analyzing the levels of DHA in biological systems, therefore, not only helps in understanding dietary intake but also in deciphering its complex role in disease mechanisms and therapeutic interventions.
