How Does NSI® Omega-3 Mood Formula work?
NSI® Omega-3 Mood Formula contains optimal levels of omega-3 essential fatty acids, including 200 mg of docosahexaeonic acid DHA and 1,000 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), to promote healthy mood and brain function.
Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) are polyunsaturated “good” fats found in oil from cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel and tuna, or in seeds of flax, walnuts, hemp and other plants. They’re important for normal growth and development of the body, including the brain, as well the maintenance of good health, throughout life.
A large percentage of the human brain is composed of structural fat, a third of which is the omega-3 fatty acid DHA. DHA plays a crucial part in brain development during infancy and early life. In fact, mothers are encouraged to obtain enough of this nutrient during pregnancy to ensure healthy brain development of their child. Throughout adulthood, DHA impacts the brain’s structure and signaling systems. It also promotes healthy nervous system function and memory. Low levels of DHA are believed to be linked to poor mood and memory.
Unlike DHA, omega-3 fatty acid EPA is not stored in significant levels in the brain. Instead, EPA acts as a precursor to a class of hormone-like chemicals called eicosanoids, which play a vital role in the maintenance of cardiovascular health, immune function and cell growth. EPA is also believed to help support mental health.
NSI® Omega-3 Mood Formula contains high-quality DHA and EPA from purified fish oil, derived from fresh sardines, anchovy and tuna. It’s been molecularly distilled to ensure high-level concentration and purity. Two softgels should be taken daily for best mood and brain-health benefits.
NSI® Omega-3 Mood Formula is better because it:
• Contains both DHA and EPA, omega-3 fatty acids that promote healthy brain function, mood and total-body health.
• Is formulated with fish oil that’s been molecularly distilled for purity and concentration.
