Message definition (Docosahexaenoic acid)
In organisms that do not eat [[algae]] containing DHA nor animal products containing DHA, DHA is instead produced internally from [[α-Linolenic acid|α-linolenic acid]], a shorter omega-3 fatty acid manufactured by plants (and also occurring in animal products as obtained from plants). Limited amounts of [[Eicosapentaenoic acid|eicosapentaenoic]] and [[docosapentaenoic acid]]s are possible products of α-linolenic acid metabolism in young women and men. DHA in [[breast milk]] is important for the developing infant. Rates of DHA production in women are 15% higher than in men.
