In this week’s episode of the NatureCity Podcast, we explore the importance of the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA for brain health and cognitive function – particularly as we age.
NatureCity co-founder and CEO, Carl Pradelli, covers what DHA and EPA actually do for your brain and why Americans, on average, only get about 10% of the ideal amount of these omega-3s daily from diet.
Taking a supplement is a smart way to help bridge this shortfall. Carl explains what you need to look for to effectively boost your omega-3 levels and get the most for your money.
