DHA
What the European Food Safety Authority and the United States National Institutes of Health have published about DHA intake, and what the catalogue records. Reference figures and citations only.
Stacky is an organisational tool, not a medical device. It does not provide medical advice, and nothing on this page says what DHA does. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist before starting, stopping or changing what you take.
Published intake references
Each figure is one authority’s published value, with the kind of figure and the people it applies to as that authority stated them. Where the EU and the US differ, both are shown and neither is averaged or converted. Only a tolerable upper intake level sets a ceiling. A recommended or adequate intake is context, not a limit.
EUEuropean Union — EFSA
USUnited States — NIH ODS / IOM
“None established” means that authority examined DHA and set no upper limit. What it published instead is below, with its own label.
Also published, and not a limit
These are the authority’s own words for a figure that is not a tolerable upper intake level. The app never compares a dose against one; this page prints it because the authority did.
To cite a figure, cite the authority’s document linked on its card, and this page as where you read it: stacky-app.com/substances/dha, retrieved 13 November 2026. Every card has its own address: add #eu-none_established-2 to the page URL for the first one.
Products in Stacky’s catalogue containing DHA
18 products whose label declares DHA, listed by brand and drawn as the app draws them. Amounts are the manufacturer’s printed figures; Stacky has measured nothing and ranks nothing.
How it is recorded
What the app records so it can schedule a dose. None of it is advice.
Forms recorded: Softgel.
Default food note in the app: with food.
Indexed studies
Stacky has 5 papers indexed against DHA, and none of them is published here. A study reaches this page only if its own title names DHA and does not name a disease or clinical condition. None of the 5 passes that rule. They remain in the app. How this list is built →
About this page
Stacky is a supplement tracking app. It renders what you take and what published sources say about it; it does not tell you what to take. Every figure on this page names the authority that published it and links to that authority’s own page.
Not on this page: a dose of our own, a grade, a verdict on whether DHA works, or any statement that it treats, prevents or improves a condition. How these pages are built →
Figures are read from the authorities’ published tables and can go out of date when those tables are revised. If one here is wrong, tell us at support@stacky-app.com and we will check it against the source.
