FISH OIL SMART HAPPY BRAINS NEED MORE By Liz Mueller

Hin : Y u M y n e M r

It’s like an aha! moment in a bottle. It could be as simple as noticing you’re not getting sick anymore (or not as often) after taking vitamin D every day, it could be realizing that you have more energy after beginning a daily B-complex vitamin, or it could be that feel-good, mood-boosting, memory-enhancing e ect that happens after starting fish oil. Something just clicks. But if the latter isn’t true, or it seems like fish oil is falling short of its brain-boosting promises, it’s possible that you’re just not taking enough to reap the full benefits of the mighty omega-3s. Especially given our society’s over consumption of omega-6s (which are pro-inflammatory and make it harder for the omega-3s to e ciently do their good work) in relation to omega-3s, it’s no wonder we’re out of whack, hence the need for even more fish oil . Sometimes a supplement comes along and changes your life.
