Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) restores normal blood vessel function in children with inherited high cholesterol, according to results of a new study published in The International Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics. The study, which used Martek’s DHA, was funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and involved 20 children between the ages of 9-19. The children received DHA supplements over one six-week period and a placebo over another six-week period. After the period in which they received the DHA, the children’s blood vessel function improved significantly. The study authors concluded that restoration of normal blood vessel function has the “potential for preventing the progression of early coronary heart disease in high-risk children.”
