South America Omega-3 Supplements Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Form (Capsules, Soft Gels, and Others), Source (Fish Oil, Krill Oil, Algae Oil, and Others), and Distribution Channel (Supermarkets and Hypermarkets, Specialty Stores, Online Retail, and Others)
The omega-3 supplements market in South America is expected to grow from US$ 1,589.98 million in 2021 to US$ 2,905.07 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.0% from 2021 to 2028. Omega 3 fatty acids, such as DHA, are the building blocks of the fetal brain and retina. DHA supports learning and memory retention, and it plays a vital role in the development of eye and nerve tissues. It helps in the formation of a covering on the nerves that ensure optimum signal transmission and is thus needed among consumers of all ages. Low DHA levels may be associated with poor developmental outcomes and neurological disorders. The low levels may also accelerate brain aging and contribute to deficits in brain function. The supplementation of DHA is required for the growth and development of the brain in infants and is necessary to maintain normal brain function in adults. Thus, it is highly recommended to include DHA in their daily diet. However, it is impossible to meet the daily requirements of omega 3 fatty acids from sources such as seafood and vegetable oils; thus, the consumers are moving towards omega 3 supplements. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for appropriate brain function and development. Fish oil supplements may improve brain function in people with less severe brain illnesses such as moderate cognitive impairment (MCI) or age-related cognitive decline. Hence, pregnant women are advised to take prenatal supplements everyday containing -300 mg of the DHA.
