"Body & Brain Food": Omega 3 fatty acids 1200mg epa/day with 900-1000mg dha/day (taken with lowfat milk or food with some fat for absorptions) has been shown to significantly decrease risks of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and depression. It also benefits hair and skin. As omega 3 fatty acids also are anti-coagulants, it is important to discuss this treatment with your doctor.
