Omega-3 Fatty Acids for Brain Health and Mood Improvement

Omega-3 fatty acids like EPA are essential for building nerve cells in the brain and body, and consuming one to three grams of EPA per day has shown mild to moderate antidepressant effects. While it is not recommended to replace antidepressant medication with fish oil, incorporating EPA into the diet can potentially improve mood. It's advisable to check the EPA content in fish oil supplements, aiming for 1.5 grams of EPA daily for mood enhancement. Taking two servings is safe if needed, and high-potency fish oils are also available for more substantial EPA intake.
