Fruit-On-The-Bottom has changed for the better. Now it's Breyers Fruit-on-the-Bottom Smart! All Natural Lowfat Yogurt enhanced with DHA Omega-3, an important brain nutrient. DHA, or docosahexaenoic acid, is an important omega-3 fatty acid that your body needs but can't make efficiently. That's why it's essential to include foods that contain DHA omega-3 in your diet.

Americans Do Not Consume Enough DHA

Despite its importance, average daily consumption of DHA by U.S. adults is much lower than experts recommend. On average, the typical American diet contains less than 100mg of DHA per day. This is because meaningful levels of DHA are only naturally found in foods such as fatty fish and organ meats. Fortunately, DHA fortified foods are becoming increasingly available as research continues to demonstrate just how important DHA is to our health.

The Science Behind DHA

Why DHA? There has been much scientific study linking DHA to brain development, improved learning and cognition. DHA is found throughout the body, but is concentrated in the brain, eyes and heart. The science indicates:

• DHA is one of the essential fatty acids that support brain function in adults and brain development in young children. 
• For mothers-to-be, DHA can help support brain function in both mother and developing baby. DHA is important during pregnancy, for the developing brain, eyes and nervous system.
• Low levels of DHA seen in the elderly may be associated with age-related mental decline, and more research is being done in this area.

Nothing fishy about it

Typically, DHA Omega-3 is found in fish and fish oils. But  life'sDHA™, produced from algae, is a natural, vegetarian source of DHA that plays an important role in brain, eye and heart health.  life'sDHA™ is added to over 90 percent of the infant formula sold in the U.S., and is the same brand of DHA Omega-3 in Breyers Fruit-on-the-Bottom Smart! All Natural Lowfat Yogurt. You can still have the same great taste you enjoyed from the original Fruit-On-The-Bottom yogurt.
