Is there a difference?  I am trying to take a DHA suppliment as I am TTC.  But I also see DHEA that is cheaper.  IS this one and the same?

    this is what i found:

    DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is an omega 3 fatty acid related to EPA, found in organ meats and in oily fish (salmon, herrings etc) which is thought to be especially beneficial to the brain and may help to prevent Alzheimer's disease and senile dementia.

    DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands, and sold as an anti-ageing supplement. By the age of 40 DHEA production drops to half the level produced at the age of 20. Benefits claimed for DHEA include effects against adult-onset diabetes, atherosclerosis, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases and autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and lupus in addition to potentially helping ovarian egg quality.
