This NOW DHA-1000 delivers a full 1,000mg of **DHA** in a single softgel — the very top of the 250–1,000mg clinical range for brain and cognitive support. DHA is the primary structural fat in your brain (about 97% of its omega-3 content) and the dominant omega-3 in your retina, so this dose covers both cognition and vision at the level studies actually use. One softgel a day with a meal gets you there, with no pill burden.

Worth knowing: this is a DHA concentrate, not a balanced fish oil. The label breaks out 1,000mg of DHA within 1,300mg of fish oil but doesn't list EPA — and heart and triglyceride benefits track the combined EPA+DHA dose. That makes this softgel built for your brain and eyes; for cardiovascular goals, the EPA side isn't quantified on the label.
