Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are crucial for combating inflammation and cell structure, particularly in the brain.

“dha is the predominant building block the most commonly found omega-3 in the brain epa is not that common dha or docosa hexanoic acid is given that name because of the number of fatty acids and the number of double bonds it's six epa has five of and we're talking about the location of the double bonds in the structure of dha or epa epa is not very abundant in the brain but that doesn't mean it's not very important epa is less abundant but has perhaps stronger anti-inflammatory effects than dha”

“Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids that are required by the human body they must be obtained by diet because our bodies are unable to make them”

“You know, which by the way, that's another thing that certain...That can be a problem for some vegetarians and vegans is because there are three types of Omega-3, right, alpha-linolenic acid, which is ALA, eicosapentaenoic acid, which is EPA, which is a major marine source, right, is how you get EPA, and DHA, docosahexaenoic acid. And EPA and DHA are very important for combating inflammation, but also for every cell structure. You need DHA for every cell membrane, particularly in your brain.”
