The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

I like salmon eggs I like salmon roe roee is the way you spell roe it is a great source of phospholipid DHA which is the main omega-3 that a human needs your body can Retro convert DHA into epa so if you have a good source of DHA in your diet especially a phospholipid source like the kind you find in salmon roe which has been shown across the blood-brain barrier better you'll have a good source of omega-3s
Oh is my it's twofold it's an iodine source so I think a lot of people need to think about where they're getting iodine from if they're just eating muscle meat not a lot of iodine and muscle meat so you're getting iodine and you're also getting a little more omega-3 in like a phospholipid form and you know the phospholipid form of the DHA crosses the blood-brain barrier at least in in rodent experiments across the blood
I was like you need phospholipid derived DHA please feed this yes please please feed this to your daughter
say Monroe has phospholipid derived DHA which causes the blood-brain barrier more and as you noted in your post less mercury it's a smaller concentrated form of nutrients than salmon
I think it's pretty clear that the majority the omega-3 we should be getting is from a phospholipid form whether it's salmon roe or whatever I like salmon roe because it will give us a mega three in a concentrated form without as much metal deposition because it's a concentrate you can get like half a teaspoon of salmon eggs has a lot of DHA and the phospholipid form way better than a process krill oil supplement and you're getting a you're not getting really any significant amount of metals because you're eating such a small amount
the omega-3 in salmon and salmon a is as phospholipid when we take it out of Sam and we make it into triglycerides or ethyl ester they're processing it and I think it's much worse
Phospholipid DHA is found in fish and krill but is particularly concentrated in fish roe, making up 38-75% of the total DHA.
Fish roe is one of the best sources of phospholipid DHA.
I prefer salmon roe but any fish roe is a great source.
Salmon roe contains between 40-70% of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA in phospholipid form compared to just 1-3% found in fish.
in fact around 40 to 70% of fish Row in general contain their DHA in phospholipid form compared to fish which only has about 1 to 3% of the DHA and phospholipid form
