1. Taking omega-3 is important since DHA decreases throughout pregnancy in the mother as it is selectively transferred to the fetus. This redistribution of DHA is essential to ensure optimal fetal brain, eye, immune and nervous system development but can leave the mother depleted which may lead to deficiency problems such as postpartum depression.
2. Improve behavior, attention, focus and learning in children. Other benefits that have been found by having adequate DHA during pregnancy is a reduced risk of allergies in infants and a positive influence on immune development.
EPA
1. Reduce triglyceride levels
2. Preventing adverse events after a heart attack.

DHA is also required for maintenance of normal brain function in adults. The inclusion of plentiful DHA in the diet improves learning ability, whereas deficiencies of DHA are associated with deficits in learning.
