It is a major component of the gray matter of the brain, and also found in the retina, testis, sperm, and cell membranes. Low levels of DHA have been associated with depression, and high levels and intake are associated with lower rates of heart disease.

Special vegan supplements are recommended, same for B12 vitamin. I'm sure our Vegan friend will confirm.

All of my foods give me adequate amounts of both. As I have said before, we are very lucky to live in a time and place in which these things are available to us.
