Clinical Details

DHA makes up a massive percentage of the polyunsaturated fats found in the brain, heavily influencing the speed and efficiency of synaptic neurotransmission. A chronic lack of dietary omega-3s slowly starves the neuronal membranes, making them rigid and less responsive. Over time, this structural degradation visibly impacts short-term memory recall and complex executive function.
