ferret Posted July 9, 2012 Report Posted July 9, 2012 Ive been taking omega-3 for a while and just wanted to mention it as I know it could probably be beneficial to a lot of the people on here. Here I what an article about the best supplements for brain health said. Also remember that there are fish oils supplements sold that contain very little or no omega-3 and can be misleading so purchase carefully. Omega-3 Fatty Acids Omega-3 fatty acids are naturally present in the brain and are important for brain functioning and normal neurological development. A 2007 review in the journal "Lipids and Health" reports that people with low levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their diets or in their bloodstreams are more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The body cannot produce its own omega-3 fatty acids, so they must be obtained from food. Fatty fish is the most abundant dietary source, but fish oil supplements are a good choice for people who do not eat fish regularly. Consult a qualified health care professional before using fish oil to treat any disorder. Read more: http://www.livestrong.com/article/381665-the-best-supplements-for-the-brain/#ixzz20A56sQ5R [/left]
