DHA 200 mg Capsule 10's belongs to the class of medications called ‘antihyperlipidemic’ used to treat high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) and heart diseases. It may also improve attention deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) (mental health disorder), reduces the risk of preterm births, reduces the risk of certain cancers, and delay the progression of Alzheimer’s disease (progressive memory loss) in older adults. 

DHA 200 mg Capsule 10's contains ‘docosahexaenoic acid’, which is an antihyperlipidemic agent. It is an omega-3 fatty acid and can reduce triglyceride levels and increase high-density lipoprotein (good cholesterol) levels in the body. This effect helps in reducing the risk of heart disease. It also has anticoagulant (decreases blood clotting) and anti-inflammatory (treats inflammation) properties. It helps in improving brain health and promotes the brain development of an unborn baby when used during pregnancy. It improves learning abilities when used in children.

High cholesterol: It is the presence of high amounts of low-density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol) in the blood. This condition reduces the blood flow and increases the risk of heart diseases such as heart attack or stroke. It has no symptoms and can be identified only by performing a blood test.

Heart disease: It is also called cardiovascular disease. It is a condition in which blood flow to the heart is decreased due to various factors such as high cholesterol (builds up in the walls of blood vessels), narrowing of blood vessels, and blockage of the blood vessel by a clot.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): It is a chronic condition seen that causes hyperactivity and impulsive behavior. It often begins in childhood and may continue into adulthood. 

Alzheimer's disease: It is a progressive memory loss disease in which brain cells degenerate and die.
