Your Brain on Omega-3s: Memory, Mood, and Focus

Your Brain on Omega-3s: Memory, Mood, and Focus

🧬Why Omega-3s Matter
Omega-3 fatty acids—especially EPA and DHA—are critical for brain function. Your brain is nearly 60% fat, and omega-3s help maintain the fluidity of brain cell membranes, support communication between neurons, and reduce inflammation that can impact cognition and mood.

🧘♂️Benefits You Can Feel

  • Sharper memory: Omega-3s are linked to improved recall, focus, and even reduced risk of age-related cognitive decline.
  • Mood regulation: Low omega-3 levels are associated with increased risk of anxiety and depression. Supplementing may help stabilize mood and support emotional resilience.
  • Reduced brain fog: Omega-3s support clear thinking and reduce inflammation that can slow you down mentally.

🌊Not All Omegas Are Equal

  • Look for triglyceride form: This is more bioavailable than ethyl ester forms commonly found in cheap fish oils.
  • Check EPA:DHA ratio: For brain health, a balanced blend or DHA-dominant formula is ideal.
  • Go clean and sustainable: Choose products that are purity-tested for heavy metals and sourced from sustainably harvested fish or algae.

🧠How to Take It
For cognitive benefits, aim for at least 250–500mg of combined EPA + DHA daily. Take it with a meal containing fat for best absorption. Consistency is key—think daily mental fuel, not a one-time boost.
