DHA improves Sleep Quality & Depression

Recent researches suggest that Omega 3 DHA and EPA can help improve sleep quality and depression. A clinical trial done in 2021 found that higher concentrations of DHA and EPA are associated with a lower risk of depression in adults. [1] Another research from 2014 suggested that a high level of DHA is related to enhanced sleep quality in children. [2]

Studies have shown that DHA might regulate melatonin synthesis.[3] One of the studies indicated that the group of hamsters with DHA deficiency had 52% less melatonin produced than the DHA-controlled group.[4] Melatonin is a hormone controlling our sleep cycle; the more melatonin available, the better sleep quality. Some research also suggested that DHA increases the brain's action and production of serotonin receptors. [5] Since serotonin regulates anxiety, happiness, and mood, scientists anticipate that DHA may help improve depression.
