Omega-3 Fish Oil Benefits
1.Brain Benefits
  • Omega-3 brain benefits are derived mostly from
    DHA and, to a lesser degree, EPA.
  • DHA is a primary structural component of the
    brain and specifically of the cerebral cortex,
    the area of the brain responsible for memory,
    language, abstraction, creativity, judgment,
    emotion and attention. For depression, fish oil
    supplements alone dont seem to have the effects
    of standard antidepressants.
